Extreme Fishing Series 2

Right from the beginning of series 1, this program has been lambasted by anglers everywhere on just about all levels. Series 2 is certainly a massive improvement, though by no means is it an out and out anglers program.

So you may ask, why is their a series 2 and where is the demand coming from? Personally, I doubt Extreme Fishing was ever conceived as an out and out fishing program. If you take your anglers hat off and view it through the eyes of non angling jo public, it takes on a whole new angle.

For example, ask a number of non anglers, what first comes to mind when describing fishing. You get; boring, bloke sitting on a box under a brolly in the rain, etc. The last thing Extreme Fishing portrays are the above thoughts!

Further evidence of this came in the form of several non angling friends contacting me to say how entertaining the program is. These are all people who are well aware of what I do, generally with the view I'm a little strange to say the least. Here It has really generated interest in some cases in people who had never considered having a go at fishing. This has to be good for the sport, even if as anglers we don't agree with everything that is portrayed and in some cases can shoot holes a mile wide in facts stated. It sure as hell generates some buzz!

Lets here your thoughts, add them to the comments section.

like you said.the program seams to be getting bad press on some fishing forums.
I dont see any problems with it apart from Robson can be a bit over the top sometimes when he hooks into something.
apart from that i still think its a really good entertaining and informative program!

Having heard the Robson Green interview on breakfast TV, it seems he's really gone and undone the good work.

Comments like 9 out 10 fish released die, are so crazy it's beyond comprehension he actually said it!
