QUOTE
This series enters the high risk world of New England's long line fishermen who risk all to catch an elusive prey in some of the most dangerous waters on the planet. They are uniformly tough and resilient and they need to be as every day could be their last.
They hunt swordfish -- magnificent giants of the deep that can weigh over a thousand pounds. The best time to catch these migratory fish is every Fall when they can be found in the waters around the Grand Banks off Newfoundland and the Georges Bank off the Gulf of Maine. These waters are also home to some of the wildest storms on earth. Cold fronts racing in from Canada meet hurricanes from the south and the results are a truly awe inspiring display of power by nature -- the most famous example being "The Perfect Storm" of 1991.
