New Castle, N.H. — Two New Hampshire fishermen and reality TV stars saved fellow fishermen in a sinking ship last Sunday.

Captain Tyler McLaughlin, star of National Geographic’s "Wicked Tuna," says he was fishing four miles off the coast of Gloucester, Mass

achusetts, last weekend. Over the roar of 10-foot sea swells and 35 knots of wind, he heard a distress call calling out for his boat Pin Wheel. His first mate, Stephen Field, also heard the desperate call.

"I was standing up there just listening and I caught it on the radio. [Steve] woke up and I looked at him and his eyes blew out of his head," McLaughlin said.

Not too far away, the Miss Sambuca boat was sinking. Field says he could tell by the way the lights looked through a pair of binoculars that the boat was taking in water.
