Mad Man of the Sea

Mad Man of the Sea is the fishing adventure series from Animal Planet where Matt Watson viewers through his extreme fishing trips. Would you jump from a helicopter to take on a huge marlin? How does feeding a 300-pound tuna by hand sound? To Matt Watson, this is his daily life. At 25 Matt left his roofing business to chase his dream of going pro at fishing. He moved to a sport-fishing mecca, the Bay of Islands, and quickly became known as an outstanding captain and extraordinary fisherman. That wasn't enough, and he decided that people needed to see what he sees on the deep seas, so he wrangled up a camera crew to come with him on his adventures. The daredevil fisherman from New Zealand takes us along as he searches for the toughest fish in the world. Looking for creatures of the sea with flesh-ripping teeth and skull-crushing jaws, Matt heads out to fish from vehicles of all kinds, dinghies, jet-skis, even a helicopter! From shark attacks to fish so strong they break the rod, you never know what Matt and his crew will encounter. The show follows Matt on his fishing adventures back to 2005, and he is accompanied by his underwater cameraman Graham and his mates Leigh and Kerren.
