Reed Meredith

This season, three veteran northern boats faced four new southern boats, along with one returning captain from Season 1 of “Wicked Tuna.” For the residents of the Outer Banks, this captain from the south may look familiar. Captain Reed Meredith from Nags Head came back with a vengeance this time around. After a five-year hiatus, Meredith returned to the show with his new boat, the Kahuna. Along with his brother Banks and his mate Steve Buchanan, the men of the Kahuna battled their fiercest competition yet.
