Well, the National Geographic Channel has announced that they have green lighted a spinoff of “Wicked Tuna.” They’re calling it “Wicked Tuna: North vs. South,” and they’ll start filming off the coast of North Carolina this winter, with a premiere scheduled for this summer.

Producer Craig Piligian tells the 2014 TCA press tour that the new show will be a competition between the guys of “Wicked Tuna” and the fishermen of the Outer Banks in the Carolinas. Piligian, though, doesn’t seem to have much confidence in the OBX crews saying that “those Southerns ain’t got nothin’ on the “Wicked” captains.” “There will be a lot of tensions and a lot of guys saying some funny stuff,” says Piligian. “They’re decent fishermen, but not as good as these guys.”

No matter how it all turns out, we do give Nat Geo credit for providing some interesting information about bluefin tuna on their web pages.
