Premise

As the boat Cornelia Marie was being remodeled, Josh Harris found Hawaiian fishing charts that his late father, Capt. Phil Harris, left behind. Josh and his business partner, Casey McManus, venture to the Hawaiian Kona Coast in search of ahi tuna and to learn about Phil's time spent there in the 1980s.[2] While in Hawaii, Josh and Casey team up with a local commercial fisherman Jeff Silva for help in better understanding the coastal fishery, translating Phil's charts and notes, and guiding them on their new endeavor—catching tuna, each worth about $2,000. The hunt will also include barracuda, swordfish, and other underwater species.[3] Johnathan Hillstrand, former co-captain of Deadliest Catch's Time Bandit, appears on the show and meets with Josh, Casey, and Jeff to help answer questions about Phil's possible motives on fishing in Hawaiian waters.[2]
