Robson Green.

Maybe. But Robson with his fixer, producer, two film crews and a lady to ensure that his make up doesn't run, plus of course another expert angler who has done it all before isn't exactly 'extreme'. Now the Inuit who handlines a 7' shark out of a hole in the ice, carves it up before it freezes and takes it back home on a dog sled might lay claim to 'extreme' fishing.

LOL!

it should be named "Robson Green- Extreme for those that normally just wade into a shallow stream on a hot sunny day or sit on a comfortable bed chair next to bite alarms all days catching fish that at worst would give you a nasty sucking Fishing!"

that should just about cover it

 

still have to say id love to dangle my maggot in a few of the places he gets to go!

Nicepix,

 

If your first sentence in post#10 doesn't fit the definition of "extreme" I don't know the word. I "fished" China on a "once in a lifetime" trip and watched it rain for 10 days without wetting a line. How exciting would that be on telly? Not to mention the pressure of someone footing the bill for the crew as you point out!

Oh. I've done a bit of the first bit. And been three miles offshore in the North Sea in a kayak alone when a squall got up and the nearest shelter was past a lee, and very rocky shore. There are a few places I would like to fish, but what I can't do with is those who elevate their sport to 'extreme' in order to give them hero status.

 

This is what I would do if I had the money:

Forty miles out of Scarbororough in a rowing boat, cane rod winch reel and look what he caught in a morning..

 

 

And, they are still running up that coastline.

Well, I watched an episode for the first time last night. 'Extreme Fishing'? More like extreme tedium. Absolute rubbish!

I enjoyed last nights episode. I never take it seriously and certainly don't look to Mr Green for any technique advice. I just think its a funny watch at times although sometimes I do think that the guy he is fishing with just wants to chuck his gloating geordie ass into the water

While many people do go fishing, the majority of the population do not and any fishing programme has to be entertaining to the 99% of TV viewers who don’t know a bream from a boilie. Watching the likes of you and I staring at a float for hours on the local canal and pulling out a few small roach (if we're lucky!) is never going to attract the viewers

 

At teh end of teh day, any fishing on teh box is better than none, and a damn sight better that the reality/celeb/cooking/talent drivel that now seems to dominate the airwaves.

 

Provided you watch it for what it is – a bit of light hearted fun, it’s entertaining enough, although I agree with others that his smugness can get a bit irritating.

Why not ? You could make the bow out of cocktail sticks and elastic bands, an addition to the Pen rod....super
