Robson's Extreme Fishing Challenge

Robson flies over 6,000 miles from the UK to this fisherman’s wonderland for a five-round angling face-off. When Robson first visited in 2000, his passion for extreme fishing took off. Over a decade later, he returns to prove himself by taking on the very man who first taught him to deep sea fish. His opening challenge takes him to the dazzling lagoons in the south east of the island. His opponent for the day, Dominique Thevanau (aka The Dominator) is a fishing veteran whose extreme speciality is taking a fly rod into the surf that breaks on the edges of the lagoons. The pair target the huge shoals of giant trevally feeding on the reefs, with the person who catches the most fish winning. But it seems that Robson is catching more surf than fish. For his next challenge, he heads inland to the island’s fertile interior in search of one of the best kept angling secrets in Mauritius. Among the thousands of cane fields lies a little-known lake that is a bass fishing haven.

In South Australia, Robson Green takes on five local master anglers, including one of the most foul-mouthed fishermen he has ever encountered, an Aborigine and a boxing champion. His haul includes crayfish, salmon and the rare and massive Murray cod, but even the most dedicated fishermen cannot ignore the spectacular scenery.

Robson is in Hawaii where he competes against the American state's best anglers. He starts by going big-game sea-fishing in pursuit of the Pacific blue marlinand then he hunts for giant prawns in Waipio, before fishing for largemouth bass on Lake Wilson against an opponent who has presented his own fishing show on television for over a decade.

Mozambique is one of the lesser-known African countries, often bypassed by visitors in favour of the more established East African destinations to the north. For the adventurous angler keen to throw a line in more uncharted waters, however, Mozambique is perfect for all forms of fishing.

Robson is in the American state of Alaska, where he goes fishing for varieties of salmon, trout, lingcod and halibut.

Robson is on the east coast of America where he fishes tuna, shark, lobster, cod and haddock. His opponents have local knowledge and are very competitive.

Robson makes his way deep into the Canadian wilderness where he faces four of the country's most experienced fishermen.

Robson makes his way to Michigan and Lake St Clair for his first battle against the world's greatest fishermen, facing off against a father-and-son team of expert muskie fishermen. He then makes his way to Detroit and Lake Huron and finishes this week's adventure by taking part in a professional fishing contest against 40 other anglers.
