  • I'm a fisherman.

  • I can batten down a hatch.

  • And I'm fishing--

  • fishing!

  • For the heaviest catch.

  • NARRATOR: Somewhere, In the wild, wavy waters of the

  • Bering Sea, Captain Keith Heartburn and crew of his

  • boat, the Gizzard, are fishing for the heaviest catch.

  • KEITH: All right, men.

  • Let's see if you caught the heaviest catch.

  • OK?

  • Being up the net.

  • FISHERMEN: Bringing up the net!

  • KEITH: Bring up that net.

  • Let me see that-- oh, there we go.

  • Good.

  • Good, OK.

  • Now, being it over here to the captain.

  • That's it.

  • And, drop it.

  • Argh!

  • OK.

  • This clam weighs a lot.

  • This is a heavy catch.

  • FISHERMEN: Yay!

  • KEITH: But it's not the heaviest catch.

  • FISHERMEN: Aw.

  • CLAM: Can you throw me back?

  • I'm supposed to play cards with a cherrystone over at the

  • Clams Casino.

  • KEITH: Take a powder, clam chowder.

  • NARRATOR: As they gizzard's crew lowers the net back in

  • the water, Captain Heartburn wonders if he'll ever catch

  • the heaviest catch.

  • KEITH: I'm wondering.

  • Will I ever catch the heaviest catch?

  • One way to find out!

  • Men, bring up the net!

  • FISHERMEN: Bringing up the net!

  • NARRATOR: The Gizzard's crew struggles and strains to bring

  • up the net.

  • Something heavy must be inside.

  • But have they found the heaviest catch?

  • KEITH: Drop it.

  • Oof!

  • Boy, this fish weighs more than the clam.

  • This is a heavier catch.

  • FISHERMEN: Yay!

  • KEITH: But it's not the heaviest catch.

  • FISHERMEN: Aw.

  • FISH: Don't worry.

  • There's plenty of other fish in the sea.

  • KEITH: Yeah, well, thanks for your words of wisdom, fish.

  • Get outta here!

  • NARRATOR: As the moments tick away, Captain Heartburn grows

  • desperate to catch the heaviest catch.

  • KEITH: Oh, I'm desperate to catch the heaviest catch.

  • Bring up the net!

  • FISHERMEN: Brigning up the net!

  • NARRATOR: The Gizzard's crew uses every muscle in their

  • bodies to bring up the very heavy net.

  • Have they caught the heaviest catch?

  • KEITH: Drop it!

  • Agh!

  • This is it!

  • This squid weighs more than anything else we've caught.

  • This is the heaviest catch!

  • FISHERMEN: Yay!

  • NARRATOR: And so, having caught the heaviest catch, a

  • happy and satisfied Captain Heartburn heads back home.

  • KEITH: Wait.

  • I think this catch is too heavy.

  • We're sinking!

  • NARRATOR: Or maybe not.

  • KEITH: Whoa, hey.

  • Help me throw this heavy squid back.

  • Help me, help me!

  • FISHERMEN: Oh no, oh no!

  • KEITH: Next time, I'm going after the lightest catch!
