Wish we could get Jeremy to do a "Puddle Monsters" episode involving big bluegill! :-)

I had to laugh at the episode that was about the possibility of a 14 foot long lake trout. Did anybody see that one?

Yes, fantastic stuff.  And there's always a "local", who had a brother in law, who had a friend, who had a housekeeper that witnessed the 11 foot long northern pike back in '35.  But Jeremy never says he actually believes it.  He just states that it can't be completely disregarded.  Best show ever.

Jim, I saw the episode regarding the Lake trout.  I couldn't get over the size of that crankbait they had made!

Several episodes come to mind...

The little fish that bore into their victims, eating them from the inside out. That one comes to mind.

And the guy that had a tiny catfish swim into his urethra...well, that  just makes me shudder.

I liked the ones about the silver carp, too, and the big gar down in Texas. I've seen those suckers myself!

I'd like to see him do an episode on the freshwater eel - now there is a fascinating fish.

The "ball cutter" episode was frightening!

Love those Amazon river episodes too!

Oops... it just occured to me that the episode I saw regarding the monster Lake Trout was on an episode of "Monsterquest", devoted to giant fish.... sorry!

What about the "Monsterfish series" on National Geographic, with Zeb Hogan? Watching him use a rod and reel almost seems painful, sometimes.

And we musn't forget the "Fish Warrior" series, also on Nat Geo, with Jakub Vagner, I like that guy. 140lbs of get-in-the-water-and-get-it-done attitude. He kisses em', too.

Extreme Angler. I like the sound of that.........

Leo, snakeheads taste great!  That episode made me want to go down to Florida to catch some :-) I remember one time when I was googling fly fishing in Viet Nam and I came across a web page of some VK guy who'd gone out to the countryside with a local guide (not necessarily a fishing guide; I think it was one of those scooter taxi guys) and caught a snakehead on a flyrod in a farm pond. Pretty awesome!

He needs to do a show on the big catfish of Ky dam. Everyone knows someone,who knows someone, who knows someone, that saw one while they where building it as big a car!(haha)

Snakeheads for eating. How about that. Id eat 'em.

Dwayne, you crack me up.  You are so right.  I've heard that story a million times.  It was always a "reliable" source.  LOL

I was just thinking, what would actually freak me out in Florida isn't snakeheads in the water, it's that they've got some pretty good-sized pythons down there, more than large enough to be a danger to people. Gators remain more of a threat, it's true, but putting pythons into the mix doesn't help. Go fishing with a shotgun in case you see one :p

I've spear fished in my lifetime, but I don't think I would pursue the Giant Snakehead in the murky waters without a rod n' reel.....I'm just saying!

Could you just imagine if a Bluegill would get this big......It would kinda be like a Chihuahua the size of a St. Bernard.......And all the time you're trying to land them the crocidiles are trying to steal them right off your line...........That adds some chaos!

Hey Jeff - I'd be more worried about gators coming after me!

Giant Goonch catfish.....Whatever gets in that mouth probably isn't going anywhere.....

Really....caught on fishing tackle.......

This is a much younger Jeremy Wade with some of his toys, but I bet we have some members that have mounds of fishing gear and accessories...it just gets in your blood and we rarely throw anything away when we purchase new items....I'm guilty, anyone else care to admit it...I won't tell anyone!

not me jeff, I have one pole and one hook.(haha) Mr. Wade gets made fun of by a lot of others on other fishing sites. Seems to me he knows his stuff. I have nothing but respect for him.

I don't watch much TV because I'm an avid outdoorsman....but I lean towards these type of shows when I do just to see what the rest of the world has for fishing....The average person isn't going to relate to these guys but people that think fishing 365 like many of us respect his efforts......

I'm as much interested in his background as anything. He didn't spring up with all that gear in hand. How did he start?

Really good stuff....

Holding up a large Arapaima in this photo...While filming in the Amazon in 2002, Jeremy was struck in the chest by a 170 pound Arapaima and still has a permanent heart defect from this encounter. These fish are often kept in holding pens on the Amazon river and often take flight when they feel trapped or threatened and this is how we was hit by the fish while helping natives try to net some in an existing pen.......

Jeremy was born in Suffolk, England in 1960 and studied and became a biology major....He continued his studies and began teaching at a British university and also had a fascination with journalism...He began his international travels as a reporter in 1982 with a trip to India after studying Portuguese for three years....He is passionate about freshwater and was intrigued by  stories around the world and this led to his discovery by Animal Planet......

I'll get in a pool full of bluegills but I'm skipping the Piranhas........remember they poured some blood in the pool before Jeremy got in...........

Does anyone know when the new shows come on?

Not for another 8 months or so. New episodes were filmed, and being edited for the new fall season grand entrance. I'm salivating for the new proposed 8 episodes that will be aired then. One of which will be aired segment about the far reach of the Yukon? Monstrous salmons like species up there in those pristine lakes..

Thanks Leo, Love show, but I know the reruns word for word. I was up till 4am the other day watching them for the 1000th time. They need to show new ones, while we have cabin fever.

LOL don't remind me. I have all his episodes on HD, downloaded a while ago. I think my wife got sick and tired of hearing him say, "Wooahhhh..was that?!..Hmm.." My kids would say, "Fish! Fish! Where's your fishing pole?!" Then they run into their room, grab some toys to imagine that those are poles, point at the TV, and try to make the fish bite. I would crack up so hard.

I think he has a book out, guess I can read that.

He's rubbed off on my two boys, also. They used to say "got one!", whenever they would hook up, now it's "Fish on!"

"Fish On ,Fish on ,Fish on !!"

John, I was thinking the same thing

Don't try this at home!

Jeremy goes fishing in Texas!

Big Longfin eel from New Zealand

Jeremy with a big Northern up in Alaska...

I also,like Dwayne want to see new episodes!

Oh Leo-Thanks!So  there were 8 new episodes filmed .Great !!

Red-tailed Catfish...

This guy won't let a meal get by him!

Jeremy with a giant Wels Catfish he caught during a trip to Spain.....

What a mouth....this river monster is a Paraya.

Great photos Jeffrey !!Thanks Love that Wels Catfish!!!

This is an endangered species that Jeremy had to get special permission to target.....the Giant Sawfish...

Prior to Alligator Gar fishing in Texas for the show, Jeremy visited the taxidermy shop in Mississippi where the world record alligator gar caught on rod n' reel is being mounted......
