Off the Hook: Extreme Catches

Off the Hook: Extreme Catches

Professional wrestler "Showtime" Eric Young, a novice outdoorsman, hosts this series in which he travels across the country to learn about some of the most extreme fishing techniques some people have come up with to try to catch the big one, including using pantyhose to catch sharks in the Atlantic Ocean and launching live bait with fire extinguishers on Lake Michigan. But Young doesn't just learn about these MacGyver-esque fishing techniques, he also tries his hand at each one. As Young puts it, he's "setting out to do some of the world's wildest, craziest fishing techniques." Crazy is definitely a good word to describe some of the methods.
