Scaly, slippery, sensational… Shooting stories for Hooked Again: Monster Fish II is another wild, unforgettable ride that defies the imagination. To encounter goliath fish face-to-face, I had to meet them on their turf… I plunged into raging waters in the Fraser River, British Columbia… dove into Thailand’s lakes… and jumped into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. I met some of the world’s most amazing pro and amateur anglers. Sharing jaw-dropping fishing stories that got me hooked.

I traveled around the world to uncover the most astounding fishing you’ve ever seen. Once caught and reeled in, these stories get entangled in a net of milestone memories. Releasing them is sheer impossible. Too impressive these fish and anglers’ tales are. I explored some of the biggest, most feared and fabled mammoth whoppers under water. Join the ride and witness more adrenaline-pumping, pulse-racing, ultimate showdowns of Man vs. Fish.

In New Zealand, I interviewed Matt Watson. He and his team set out on a dangerous assignment. Working for the department of conservation, they planned to get a live DNA sample – of a Great White Shark! Watch how they come face-to-face with one of the ocean’s most feared and mysterious alpha predators. These colossal killers are smarter than we think. See how great whites detach their jaws and devour thirty pounds of flesh at a time.

Then, I re-enacted the breathtaking face-off between two German anglers and Europe’s largest freshwater fish – a giant Wels Catfish. After battling the goliath for over two hours on rod and reel, Sebastian Rozwadowski and Christoph Grefe, had only one thing left to do: wrestle the beast with bare hands. In the world of monster fish, these whiskered whoppers may not be pretty, but they pack a wallop. Discover how these flesh-eating river giants reach jaw-dropping proportions.
