Robson's Extreme Fishing Challenge

Robson heads for the other side of the globe and the fishing challenge of his dreams – New Zealand. The flight from Newcastle to New Zealand takes 32 hours, but for any angler the trip is worthwhile. New Zealand is one of the most hostile sporting environments on earth, and Robson knows that he is in for a battle. His first challenge takes him to the waters off the port of Nelson on the north coast of New Zealand's South Island. After being dropped in by helicopter, he faces an extreme challenge that requires an extreme form of angler, such as his opponent. Toby Reid is a man who specialises in fishing the places other fishermen cannot reach. The target for the day is the New Zealand Blue Cod, a sports fish Robson has never caught before. Robson then heads for the mouth of the Hurunui River on the South Island's east coast, where he goes after Kawahai or the Salmon of the Sea.
