Woman captain joins ‘Wicked Tuna’ for 12th season
Filmed on location in Gloucester and on the North Atlantic Ocean, the show follows experienced fishermen from the nation’s oldest seaport, chronicling their triumphs, challenges and the ones that get away. Of the eight captains, four are from Gloucester, two are from Beverly and two are from New Hampshire. The newcomer up against the veteran competitors is Capt. Michelle Bancewicz of the 31-foot No Limits, who joins the fleet with her first mate Lea Pinaud. Bancewicz had an epic catch in October 2021 that made the news and went viral around the globe when she single-handedly brought in an 800-pound tuna. Bancewicz, of Seabrook, New Hampshire, has been fishing recreationally since she was a youngster. Photos, >click to read< 10:52
