Extreme Fishing

Robson's epic fishing odyssey starts in 2 of Africa's most extraordinary countries - Zimbabwe and Zambia. Between them, they're home to some of the most challenging and phenomenal fishing locations on the planet... including the mighty Zambezi River and the magnificent Victoria Falls.

Robson's epic fishing adventure continues in stunning Kenya. It's big sky country, full of amazing wildlife, but there's no time for giraffes and zebras for Robson - he's all about the fish.

This week Robson travels to China, where fishing is a genuine obsession. China is the world's largest consumer of fish and across their 11,000 miles of coastline, 3,000 lakes and 1,500 rivers they practise all kinds of strange and ingenious techniques to catch them.

Now his epic fishing odyssey takes him to the Indian sub continent and the vibrant, tropical country of Sri Lanka. With over 800 miles of Indian Ocean coastline and numerous inland rivers and lakes, it's a real fishing paradise. After arriving slap bang in the middle of the Perahera - one of the world's biggest Bhuddist festivals - Robson heads for the seaside town of Koggala.

In Part One of the World Tour Robson went to Africa, China and Sri Lanka - now it's time for Part Two - and to kick off, it's the big one. It's Robson's grandest adventure yet. He's off to Brazil - to fish the most famous river of them all; the Amazon. The Amazon basin is not just one river though. It's a vast system of hundreds of rivers, home to thousands of species of fish.

This week Robson heads for wild west Africa - to Senegal and remote Guinea Bissau on the Atlantic coast. He starts in Senegal and the coastal fishing town of St Louis. There's plenty of evidence that fishing the Atlantic Ocean remains an essential part of life for the locals. But Robson's not interested in little stuff.

This week it's time to hit the Caribbean, and the unexpected fishing wonderland that is Cuba. Legendary novelist Ernest Hemingway set his famous fishing novel The Old Man and the Sea here and Robson wastes no time exploring the culture and clichés of capital Havana.

No world tour would be complete without visiting a country where they're just as fanatical about fish as Robson is - Japan. More than 10% of the entire planet's fishing catch ends up there. And Robson starts at Tsukiji market, which sells more than a million quid's worth of fish daily. Here he gets his first glimpse of a Japanese delicacy that has killed over 200 people in recent years.

This week Robson's off to the Republic of Panama, the tiny s-shaped country linking Central and South America. Nowhere else in the world can you fish both the Atlantic and the Pacific in less than 2 hours. And more International Game Fish world records have been broken here than anywhere else in the world. Robson can't wait to get stuck in.

This week Robson heads for exotic, colourful India. It's a feast for the senses and an amazing country for adventure - and it's also home to some of the world's biggest fish. He starts in Kochi, a fishing Mecca on India's south west coast. Kochi features some giant fishing nets called Cheenavala, invented hundreds of years ago and still in constant use today.

This week Robson hits Florida. This tropical fishy wonderland is visited by millions of anglers, who come for the famous golden coastline - and the thousands of miles of fish filled seas. But Robson's in for a nasty surprise. It's the coldest it's been in Florida for 85 years!

After several months on the road, Robson's finally reached the last destination on his world tour - California, USA. With 800 miles of breath-taking Pacific coastline and stunning desert-fringed lakes, this is a place he's always dreamed of casting a line! And where better to start than every actor's spiritual home - Hollywood!
