Hawaii
This week Robson travels on a 24hr journey via Los Angeles to a spot slap bang in the middle of the North Pacific. The fishing Mecca of Hawaii. It’s a record-busting place with the wettest spot on earth, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and if you measure from the sea floor…the biggest mountain on earth. This is a wet and wild fishing paradise which Robson has always dreamed of fishing. His first challenge for Pacific Blue Marlin is unexpectedly interrupted when Robson gets robbed by a Dolphin. Then he slips into a wetsuit and braves the rapids of the Waipio River hunting for Giant Prawns. This really is ‘Prawn In The USA’! Robson meets his match in his third challenge, a man who has presented his own fishing show for 11 years, is an expert fisherman and believes he’s better ‘on camera’ than Robson is. There’s more to this challenge than just fish! Being caught in a tropical storm on a flimsy kayak miles out to sea gives Robson a real taste of fear, and night fishing on slippy rocks almost puts him in the back of an ambulance.

South Africa
This week Robson travels 6000 miles to the most southerly point on the African Continent. It’s a wild and rugged landscape whose waters are home to nearly 100 species of shark, a fitting location for Robson’s Extreme Fishing Challenge! In his first showdown against this fishing obsessed nation, Robson comes face to face with their number one ranked fly-fisherman. Thankfully help is at hand from the titan of trout, the sultan of salmon, his very own uncle Matheson from Newcastle! When a shark fishing contest in Cape Town goes wrong, Robson is forced to face his fears as he finds himself comparing dental notes with a Great White Shark. An attempt at Ski-Boat fishing in treacherous waves, a day out with a bunch of commercial Snoek fishermen and entry into the prestigious Richards Bay Bill Fish Tournament give Robson a serious run for his money!

South Australia
This week Robson Green makes a grueling 24 hour journey to the other side of the world. A place where men are men….sheep are nervous….and fish swim deep. The Jaw dropping and bountiful shores of South Australia. For his first Extreme Fishing Challenge, Robson meets a man who’s bark is equal to his bite in an all species challenge against one of the countries toughest deep sea anglers. Keeping the heat turned up his next challenge is against a South Australian Olympic boxer. Robson will have to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee and think like a fish! A hunt for the biggest fish in Australia, the mighty Murray Cod, and a spear fishing battle against an Aboriginal Community on Dead Mans Island mean victory here will be hard won.

New Zealand
This week Robson’s Extreme Fishing Challenge takes place in a country that’s an epic 32 hour flight from Newcastle. It’s the place every angler dreams of fishing…New Zealand. Robson starts with a ‘rock hopping’ challenge. Dropped onto inaccessible islands and craggy rocks by helicopter, this is an extreme form of angling that requires an extreme form of angler. Teaming up with two fiercely proud ex-pat Brits Robson takes on the might of a local All Black angling team. Unfortunately things don’t quite go to plan! A day’s fly fishing in the unexplored rivers where The Lord of The Rings was filmed, a bout of traditional Eel fishing and a brush with a brazen Albatross give Robson an extreme challenge to remember!
