Foul weather is no friend to fishermen when a cold snap passes over coastal Maine. The Grinders copy the Eelinators’ design for specialized nets, which catches eels that run in deeper water when the weather is rough, but the team’s knockoff proves hard to handle. The Maineiacs amuse themselves by convincing old man Lee Leavitt that he’s suffering from a contagious eel disease. Stressed about not catching anything, the three teams are relieved when the weather warms up and brings them a sizeable payday.
