Épisode 1 - Costa Rica

1 septembre 2008

It is time to set sail for new shores, and Playa Flamingo Marina in Costa Rica seems the best place to start. It is the largest marina in the country and a major destination for game fishing. On the menu are wahoo, marlin, tuna and the spectacular sailfish. Purported to be the fastest fish in the water, the creatures have been known to reach speeds of up to 68mph. Can the actor hook the ultimate prize? After being exposed to the elements in Costa Rica, Robson wonders whether he is out of his depth fishing on the open sea. Thankfully, he is aided by two savvy seamen, who teach him some essential tricks of the trade. Trolling slender ballyhoo lures, which zip through the water, they set about trying to attract tuna. It is not long before the crew spots a pod of dolphins – a sure sign that tuna are about Next, it is up to Upala in the north, near the border with Nicaragua, to meet up with some very special anglers. The Club National de Pesca is Costa Rica’s most exclusive fly-fishing organisation. River-angling may be Robson’s domain, but these fishermen use a decidedly more extreme technique After meeting some of the club’s esteemed members, Robson and the group go down to the water’s edge. The actor is appalled to see that the river conditions are less than perfect, as the water is coloured and very deep. But his guides are not deterred, announcing that they will don lifejackets and float down the river, trawling their lines with them. This is a big shock for a man who is used to having his feet planted firmly on the riverbed. But the worst news is yet to come – the men are fishing for machaca, a relative of the piranha... The last leg of Robson’s Costa Rican junket sees him travel to southern Utala to spend some time with an indigenous tribe who rely on fish as their main source of food. The Maleku people teach Robson to use a basic line-fishing method in which fruit provides the bait for some hungrier machaca.

As Robson sets out, clouds gather on the horizon. Will the weather thwart his mission? Next stop is the Canary Islands where Robson attempts to test the limits of his gut by tasting escolar – a snake mackerel found in warm waters around the world. Consumption of escolar is banned in several countries because of its ability to make the eater violently ill as rapidly as half an hour after a meal. The Canary Islanders are big fans of the delicacy. Will Robson share their enthusiasm? The final destination of the series is the River Ebro in Spain, home to the wels catfish. This freshwater monster, which can grow up to ten feet in length, can only be found in European rivers and lakes. Robson is a dab hand at reeling in a 20lb salmon.

Épisode 1 - Ascension Island

12 mai 2011

Robson’s journey begins in the dead of night, at RAF Brize Norton. Only from here can he reach his first destination; a tiny outpost in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and the most remote place Robson has ever fished – Ascension Island. There’s less than a thousand people here at any one time and, with its underfished waters, it promises Robson the fishing of his life. Here, he gets the chance to go after his biggest ever fish; the Six Gill Shark. This prehistoric beast grows to well above 500 kilograms and Robson feels every bit of it as he tries to reel it in. Ascension Island is teeming with fish, so just about every local is handy with a rod and line. The unspoiled waters also give him a chance to go totally old school, wading into the sea to try and catch one of the local Triggerfish with his bare hands. And, he’ll go out with local fisherman Noddy, who is assuring him of a fish fest like he’s never experienced. After only an hour on the water, Robson’s exhausted, and back at shore they need a crane to bring in the catch.

Épisode 2 - Patagonia

19 mai 2011

Robson’s journey continues in Patagonia, a region spanning the southern parts of Chile and Argentina. He is on a mission to fish at the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia. This place really is the end of the Earth – if Robson went much further south, he would end up in Antarctica. But before Robson gets there, he is after an extra-special prize. Ushuaia is in Argentinean Patagonia. But on the Chilean side of the border, in Torres del Paine, there could be waiting one of the catches of Robson’s life. Robson was raised on salmon fishing, and in the waters here swim Chinook salmon, the largest on the planet. The biggest Robson has ever caught was round 18lb. In these waters, he hopes to get one double that size. When he gets one on the end of his line, he can barely believe the fight this mighty fish puts up. With its runs and leaps, this is one of the most spectacular sights ever seen on the water. But with a fish like this, there are no guarantees – and just because Robson has it on the line, it doesn’t mean he is going to get it to the shore.

Épisode 3 - Papua New Guinea

26 mai 2011

Robson touches down in Papua New Guinea, a volatile, volcanic island that is home to multifarious tribes who speak over 800 languages. It is also home to the Papuan black bass, cited by many as the top prize when it comes to freshwater fighting fish.

Épisode 4 - Russia

2 juin 2011

This week, Robson grabs his tackle bag and sets off to experience the bleak midwinter in Khabarovsk, eastern Russia. Khabarovsk is known as the Nice of the east because it shares the same latitude as the French city. But, as ice flows down the Amur river, it appears to share very little else with the Mediterranean resort. Two hours north of Khabarovsk, in Sikachi-Alyan, live the Nanai people, who fish the Amur with the hope of snaffling a northern pike. The day starts with a traditional dance, blessing the fishermen on their endeavours. A crab-like lure is attached to a line on a rudimentary stick-rod, then dropped through a hole in the ice. Then, the silent waiting begins

Épisode 5 - New Caledonia

9 juin 2011

This time Robson’s way past Australia and out into the Pacific, where he finds a fishing paradise waiting. New Caledonia is a sun-kissed island, home to the world’s largest lagoon and a place where new fish species are still being discovered. Robson’s aiming to travel to the outer reaches, where westerners rarely venture, and learn the fishing ways of the tribes people who live there. Today, Robson’s hunting for a New Caledonia specialty; the Flame Snapper. It’s a fish he’s never seen before, but one he’ll not forget quickly. Father and son team, Yann and Joelle, are amongst the best fishermen on the island and today Robson’s their apprentice, and he’ll need to impress as he quickly learns Yann doesn’t suffer fools. It’s not long before Robson’s fighting to bring in a one-meter long Spanish Mackerel. To the north of the island lie the territories of the island’s native population, the Kanak. These lads know how to fish and they give Robson a warm welcome, but the fish aren’t so accommodating, as Robson is singled out for a jellyfish attack. New Caledonia is the destination for one fish; the Giant Trevally, and Robson has permission to fish the Kanak waters for them. When he gets it on the hook and feels the fight on the end of his line, he realizes he’s not going to be disappointed. Now all he has to do is land it.

Épisode 6 - Argentina

16 juin 2011

Robson heads to the town of Itatí in the north eastern province of Corrientes in Argentina. On the southern shores of the second biggest river in south America, the Paraná, Robson lays some baited-lines to catch the largest freshwater fish in world – the short-tailed river stingray. Further down river he searches for the pacu, a close cousin of the piranha. Using a curried-fruit lure, the boys mix up the bizarre fish food, then cast towards the reeds and wait for the normally timid fish to feed. But Robson’s first real bite is not at all timid! Leaving the river behind, Robson’s next stop is the Iberá marshes, to a traditional working cattle ranch. Robson is here for the lagoons which are home to packs of piranha. But before getting near the water, Robson earns his Gaucho spurs fishing for cattle with a lasso. Robson gets a chance to catch both yellow and river piranhas, the hook just has to be in the water for a second or two before there is a tug. Robson’s last visit is to a place renowned for producing record breakers, the Salto Grande Dam on the river Uruguay.
