I sat and watched this programme yesterday evening (8th Sept) and was totally disgusted by it. I understand that fishing is a sport, but to deliberately leave everything they caught just chucked in a big bucket is so wrong. Couldn't they have been a little more humane. Towards the end of the programme they showed some arse hole of an American shooting a moorhen, which he missed 3 times. They all seemed totally unaware that this animal was left to suffer a long an miserable death. At least have the kindness in you to put the poor thing out of it's misery.
I really hope that there are other people that feel the same as I do

The worst, most poorly made and shockingly awful programme supposedly about angling I have ever seen.
Without doubt, nothing more than gratuitous cruelty to animals.
By the way, I am not a tree hugger, I am a passionate angler and fish eater.
Whoever allowed this to be made and then aired needs sacking.
Both the makers and Mr Green are a disgrace.

This program is a total disgrace. As a keen angler and conservationist I cannot identify at all with the sentiments and actions displayed, and I doubt any of the 3 million or so anglers in the UK would condone it either. This waste of TV time will only serve to cause harm to angling and is totally unrepresentative of the sport I, and many others, enjoy. I implore Channel 5 to take it off immediately, and instead spend the money on broadcasting some real angling programs - for example, that fine filmmaker Hugh Miles has spent several years on a follow-up to A Passion for Angling, the seminal 1990s series on fishing in the UK - see http://www.catchingtheimpossible.info/catching-the-impossible-films.html (I have no financial interest in this, in case you were wondering). That is the kind of program that should be seen widely, not this sensationalist, nasty tripe.
I agree that the programme is a total disgrace... I'm an ex angler but to be honest though, it does make me laugh when I hear active anglers talking selectively about welfare issues. All angling involves the concious choice to hook an animal which will always suffer to some degree even if using barbless hooks and putting them back etc. Robson is a guilty of selling his soul to the devil and participating in these 'extremes' of behaviour but ultimately he's no different to most other anglers. If an angler stopped to reflect for a moment, they too would be guilty of feeding their ego with tales of the catch, their personal best fish and showing off albums of trophy photos. Lots of anglers use live bait to catch other fish, lots don't humanely dispatch fish that they are keeping to eat but leave them to endure a slow suffocating death. Most fish when hooked are compromised, a lot, even when returned, don't survive due to hook injury, bad handling and secondary disease brought on by the catching experience. The next time you anglers are viewing an angling scenario that you personally find distasteful, don't forget that you are all, on a relative scale, tarred with same brush!
sir.re. the 'blue marlin'?? seen caught

would like to see robson going round britain fly fishing in lakes and resoviors that are not private to the public
Very sad.
The impression was of inadequate individuals - including Robson Green -
believing that in some mysterious way, they are enviable tough guys, molesting cruelly magnificent living creatures. A disgusting series of programmes.
the one where he was shooting the carp with a bowe and arrow was crule i am a very cean angler myself and fish most
weekends an school holidays
What about a really good fishing safari in India - for Catla, Ruhee, Mirgil, Kalbous, Silond & goonch ! Need indepth expertise ? Contact the Burra Muchlee Wallah - Kem Miln
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....
Robson Green caught a fish alive.....
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
In the bucket alive it goes again.....
THE PLACE WHERE THE CATFISH WERE CAUGHT WAS THE RIVER EBRO IN SPAIN. IF U ARE INTERESTED SEARCH THE NET FOR CATMASTER TOURS, THEY ARE THE ONE WHO RUN THE FISHING HOLIDAYS.
AS FOR U PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHOW, GET A LIFE. FISHING IS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND LIFESTYLES.
Why does Robson Green not come and fish with my company??? We operate large game freshwater fishing for nile perch, tiger fish, catfish and other species, we are an english owned company operating on wonderful lake nasser in egypt.... COME ON ROBSON, HERE IS YOUR OPEN INVITE.......
Yvonne Carter, Tom Bettle & Ian Harding; you all need to grow up! Yvonne, do you think it's any different when commercial fishing with nets, where the fish are all dumped into a freezer box en masse? Bet you still munch away on that fish without thought! Tom, the fact that you had to state that you are not a tree hugger shows that you realised that your comments are going to be viewed unfavourably. And Ian, Ian, oh dear Ian. Bet you have never even fished outside of the UK?! Please have a think next time and you wont make a fool of yourself by writing such drivel!
I can not stand fishing, and I dont like the 'F' word either, but Robson Green in Extreme fishing is one of the best programs I've seen in a long time Robson is so funny and yeah i know he uses the 'F' word a lot but he almost makes it sound funny, I watched the last in the second series last night, my Monday night is not gona be the same, I hope he is going to do more please let there be more of him and the show, oh and it's nice to see that he does'nt fish to kill most of the time most of the beautiful creatures are returned to the water.
Well done to Robson for make the show so great.
i love robson green (L)
but what film was he talking about in the blue marlin epsiode?
