The episode where the cat fish that kept growling when they had it in the boat sure creeped me out

What about the tiny snake like fish that swam up into some guys body as he was taking a leak. It was over 6 inchs long when they pulled it out. :P

I just finished watching the second season. It's a great show. I found the "Alaskan Horror" episode amusing - he catches his FIRST salmon. It's pretty hard to believe, but that's just how extreme of a fisherman Jeremy Wade is.

the show is pretty cool. there use to be another show with the same name...well along those lines. i think it was called monster fish. on monster fish i believe they came here and fished for some sturgeon. i find that the guy on river monsters isnt as informative as the guy on monster fish.

Love the show!!! Glad they repeat it through the week... sometimes hockey gets in the way... pretty much every episode my youngest boy (6) asks if we could go fishing for the same fish ;D... he didn't ask to try the goliath tigerfish tho....

I just wish he did more fishing on the show some episodes he does none till last 5 mins of the show.

It's a lot of hype for the housebound and naïve but whatever turns your crank.

wow some crazy creatures on here. dl them all now.

is there any actual fishing technique in this show?
Title: Re: Anyone been watching river monsters
Post by: Floater on January 04, 2011, 03:23:54 PM
He does cover some of the techniques but they all seem to be the same bottom fishing with an entire bait fish lol. The show is not very technique orientated sometimes no rods make it on camera till last few mins of the show.

I dont think that the main point of the show is "fishing' thats why he dosnt go into detail with techincues and stuff.

Yeah.... I saw the nile perch episode.
Huge. huge bass.
The guy was using the biggest spinning reel I have ever seen.
Havn't those guys heard of a bait caster? LOL
Yep.. not much on fishing technics there.

The mongolian trout episode was also cool.
More to the liking of salmon fisherman. LOL
