    A day on the pinwheel

    Bluefin Tuna Trip on July 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 children

    I have been a huge fan of the wicked tuna show for the longest time. My boyfriend and his dad wanted to go on a fishing trip so when I saw that I could meet my favorite person on the show (Merm) I convinced them to go on this trip. She is exactly the same as she is on the show. My youngest daughter absolutely loved her. They are very nice people. Even though we didn't catch any tuna it was worth it.
