Northern Australia
Robson Green’s off to Oz to face some of the world’s most dangerous creatures. He meets the crocodile that starred in Crocodile Dundee before heading to the Northern Territory in search of barramundi. Then he’s off to Darwin to track down some milkfish, followed by a trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
Eastern Seaboard
Robson faces perhaps his toughest challenge yet when he visits the eastern seaboard of the United States. The North Atlantic is famous for the number of sharks patrolling the waters – ‘Jaws’ was filmed here – but is Robson brave enough to try and catch one? Although great whites are very rare, there are plenty of other shark varieties, such as the vicious mako. But when Robson finally nets himself a shark, it is slightly less frightening than Spielberg’s creation...
Southern Australia
Robson heads to southern Australia to catch some of the most exotic creatures he has yet encountered. He dives in a shark-proof cage to recover abalone, a form of mollusc; tangles with feisty blue manna crabs; retrieves poisonous octopuses; and joins in the World Championship Tuna Toss.
Thailand
The actor profiles the hottest fishing destinations around the globe, beginning with Thailand, where he samples the delights of Bangkok's infamous fish market before attempting to land the fast and feisty arapaima. He visits the River Kwai and spends a night on a raft in the middle of a lake. He rounds off his trip by trying to catch a stingray.
Philippines
The actor travels to the Philippines, where fishing plays an important part in the economy and people's diets. He begins by hunting the highly intelligent green and blue dorado, before catching and eating a jellyfish. He visits Casulian Island to learn about the illegal practice of dynamite fishing and meets two men convicted of the crime. Finally, Robson is left to fend for himself overnight on a tropical island. Last in the series.
