Discovery Follows Elite New England Fisherman as They Spear Big Game Fish Worth Thousands in “Harpoon Hunters,” Premiering January 24 @ 9PM ET/PT [VIDEO]

It’s man versus ocean in the hunt for one of the fastest fish in the world in the thrilling new series HARPOON HUNTERS premiering Friday, January 24 @ 9PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

Each summer on Cape Cod, multi-generational fishing families race against the clock – and each other – to catch highly valuable Atlantic bluefin tuna using only 10-foot electrified spears. Time is of the essence as harpoon boats only have four weeks to catch as many fish as they can before the overall limit is met. With fish worth as much as $10K each, stakes are high for these expert fishermen to make ends meet for their families and beat the competition to take home these prize fish.

“Armed with nothing but a spear and raw determination, these elite harpooners put everything on the line and it’s immensely thrilling to witness,” said Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks. “Joining a pantheon of iconic Discovery series that follow maverick jobs in epic settings, HARPOON HUNTERS also brings us into a high-octane world only a few get to experience in real-life.”

Audiences can follow the conversation on social media with #HarpoonHunters, and follow Discovery on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok for more updates.

HARPOON HUNTERS is produced for Warner Bros. Discovery by  Pilgrim Media Group, a division of  Lionsgate Alternative Television.
