Channel 5 - Extreme Fishing: Series 4 (2011)

His search for the most formidable fishing on Earth has taken Robson Green on a grand tour of the greatest fishing spots in the guide book. Now, in six brand new episodes, Robson goes where the guide books don’t to discover how people in some of the remotest spots on the planet land their daily catch. From a tiny island in the mid-Atlantic to the wastelands of eastern Russia via the Argentinean wilderness, Robson hooks up with some of the most isolated fishermen, catching the most amazing fish. He will be against the clock, fishing in narrow time windows before the weather closes in. This will be his most extreme journey yet, and, if he can pull it off, his greatest triumph.
