Robson Green’s passion for angling has taken him across the globe—but now, he’s venturing beyond the familiar. In this daring new six-part series for Channel 5, he goes truly off-grid, casting his line in the world’s most remote, unforgiving corners.
Where Few Have Fished Before
From the isolated isle of Ascension deep in the Atlantic, to the frozen steppes of eastern Russia, and across the scorched deserts of Argentina, Robson plunges into places where survival is as extreme as the fishing.
Tradition, Danger and Discovery
Joining local fishermen who risk everything for their daily catch, Robson embraces time-honoured techniques passed down for generations—sometimes primitive, often perilous, always fascinating. The waters yield astonishing and fearsome creatures, while the cultures he encounters reveal stories as captivating as the fish themselves.
Robson Unleashed
With his boundless energy and irresistible enthusiasm, Robson brings each moment to life, making this his most rugged, revealing, and relentless fishing expedition yet.
