How much do the boats on wicked tuna get paid?

The boats on "Wicked Tuna" typically earn money based on the amount and quality of bluefin tuna they catch, with prices varying significantly depending on market conditions. On average, a successful catch can net the crew thousands of dollars, as high-quality bluefin can sell for up to $20,000 or more per fish at auction.
