Rumors of huge hauls and hefty payouts lure the teams far north to Bangor, but fishing the big river turns treacherous when nearly every other eel fisherman in Maine shows up with the same plan. Dana Hole starts strong with a $20,000 haul in one night, but the teammates from the Eelinators are faced with turf wars that threaten their catches. The Grinders split on strategy, and while Chad Jordan gambles and wins, Lester Toothaker is left in the dust. Old man Lee Leavitt has the last laugh when Jason Leavitt and Mike Bradley of the Maineiacs ignore his advice; instead, they follow the crowds and end up with nothing but empty buckets.
