National Geographic's 'Wicked Tuna: North vs. South' Premieres Sun. Aug. 17th

A spinoff of the highly popular “Wicked Tuna” series, Wicked Tuna: North vs. South pits Gloucester, Massachusetts’ finest fishermen against a new group of captains from North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Wicked Tuna: North vs. South premieres on Sunday, August 17 at 10/9c on the National Geographic Channel. Here's a sneak peek video that shows what to expect from the show its first season.
It's bluefin tuna season in the Outer Banks and the local fleet is not happy when Gloucester's top fishermen sweep in for their share of the quota. The northern captains must conquer new styles of fishing, treacherous waters and the wrath of southern captain's to try and reel in some "monstah" fish. When every captain's got mouths to feed, the only lines that won't cross are the ones they put in the water.

After a disappointing bluefin tuna season in Massachusetts, the northern captains attempt to salvage their finances by casting their lines along the coast of North Carolina, where the season is just kicking off. The northern Wicked Tuna captains have to conquer new styles of fishing and face off against some very protective local Outer Banks captains, whose families have fished the area for generations and know the treacherous waters well. It’s the same free-for-all competition to reel in tuna and rake in dough as both the northern and southern boat crews will do anything to get their share of the elusive bluefin tuna.

Conversations Media Group President Cyrus Webb is excited to share daily words of encouragement from celebrity model/fitness trainer Branden Nicholson of B. Nick Fitness in California. The purpose? To encourage the reader to be the best of themselves each and every day throughout August.

Take out time to visit our website each day to find a daily dose of motivation and visit Branden online at www.brandennicholson.net.

Day One:  New day, new attitude...Take control, stay positive and be great!
Day Two:   The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have come.
Day Three:  If you're not growing, then you're not living. You should never be the same person two days in a row. Make it your goal to get better!
Day Four: When you are going through something hard and wonder where GOD is, remember that the teacher is always quiet during the test.
Day Five: Don't give up on what God has called you to do. The end result is worth the pain. Keep the faith.
Day Six: Today is all about choices. Choose to count your blessings rather than your problems!
Day Seven: You may be the only one that can see your vision, but if you can see it that's all that matters.
Day Eight: Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
Day Nine: The same people that are hoping you fail will be the same ones that will have to watch you succeed. Never stop. Always keep going!
Day Ten: The WRONG people in your life will keep the RIGHT people out. You've only got a few spaces so choose well!
Day Eleven: You are where God wants you to be at this very moment. Every experience is part of His divine plan.‪
Day Twelve: All liabilities must be let go! If they aren't building you up then they're tearing you down.
Day Thirteen: An original is always worth more than a copy. Be original!
Day Fourteen: When you focus on problems, you'll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you'll have more opportunities.
Day Fifteen: People who judge you by your past don't belong in your present.‪
Day Sixteen: Look around...Is this where you wanna be? If not, now is the time to decide to change it! The power lies in you.
Day Seventeen: Don't let your thoughts talk you out of the changes you want for yourself. Your body can do anything. It’s just your brain you have to convince! ‪
Day Eighteen: Get up & Go forward! Let go of the past so you'll have a free hand to open the door to your future!
Day Nineteen: They can copy you but they can't be you. Just keep being a better you and get a kick out of them trying to keep up.
Day Twenty: There are quick fixes for everything in life, but greatness is not achieved in one day. It is a process that each of us must experience.
Day Twenty-One: Don't let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life.
Day Twenty-Two: You can't expect to live a positive life around negative people.
Day Twenty-Three: I Will NEVER lower MY standards, to RAISE someone else's!
