Plot Synopsis

Daredevil fisherman Matt Watson heads out to search for and tag top-level predators like mako sharks, striped marlin and bluefin tuna. From a dinghy to a jetski to a helicopter, no challenge is out of bounds as he takes on these flesh-ripping, skull-crushing species. Matt completes extraordinary stunts, such as jumping from a hovering helicopter into the ocean to wrestle a giant marlin and even capturing a fierce great white shark with only a hand line. At the same time, the show contains an underlying message of conservation. Matt practices techniques in catch-and-release fishing, emphasizing tagging the fish that he catches so that researchers may better track these species' behavior and migration patterns. This six-part series takes the best footage from his recent adventures to The Bay of Islands off the coast of New Zealand, an area legendary to sport fishermen.
