So I get this episode on the legend of loch ness and Douchbag Mctavish decides hes gonna go to Iceland and then to Norway looking for a shark. Such a misleading title as he only spends a total of 20 minutes air time in Scotland looking for the creature. All the rest of the show is his galavanting around in search of some other creature and when he finds it there are no solid answers given. Just a ''ok thanks for watching '' type of ending with no resolve. If I could use this show for toilet paper, I would!

Awesome show. Even if you're not an angler yourself, or even remotely interested in fishing, this show is great. It's more about the animal he focuses on, and it's story than anything else.
