Watch also for great entertainment on fishing. Jeremy Wade is an experienced fisherman and you can learn alot on how to fish for the BIG ONE. It would be the best ever if I could meet him in person. I have the whole series recorded so I dont miss a thing

This show is freaking amazing! It's so fascinating and breathtaking and informative and Jeremy Wade is so funny and cute and really makes you feel as if you're actually there with him. I could watch this show all day, every day. I'm so upset they're ending it. Hopefully, Jeremy Wade will come back with another show 😄😍 *fingers crossed*

Jeremy is more than a fisherman. He catches and releases the biggest and intimadating aquatic beast you will ever see. Best of all you go along on his adventures to exotic locations and experience the struggles he encounters when going after the elusive monsters of the deep.
