If there’s a fish that swims, Jay Siemens needs to catch it. In his new series, The Canadian Angle, Jay takes us along for the ride in search of walleye, bass, pike, musky, and everything in-between.
In episode 1, Jay Siemens takes a hands-on approach to find out where his bait comes from. Starting by netting some spring suckers, he then follows up by putting that sucker meat to use as bait and learning the art of trapping leeches with commercial trapper Scott Green. The whole process comes full circle by heading out on Lake of the Woods with Samantha Wallin in search of Lake of the Wood's prized possession, the golden Walleye.
The Canadian Shield is checkered with thousands of lakes, many of which rarely get fished. In this episode Jay Siemens is dropped off by float plane to one of these many remote gems. With no prior knowledge of the lake Jay must break down the lake in 24 hours and see what sort of fishing success he can find.
In this episode, Jay Siemens heads South of the border to meet up with Big Bass Guru Oliver Ngy. Together, they fish some small inland lakes in central Wisconsin and chat about everything big bass. They compare fishing tales from their home waters and try to put some big Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass in the boat.
Any avid angler has lost their fair share of fishing tackle to the bottom of the lake. In this episode Jay Siemens and Scott Green take a dive to the bottom of Lake Of The Woods in search of treasure - aka lost lures. Later Jay heads out on the lake to give these lures a second chance in search of Walleye, Bass, Pike, and Musky.

Eränkävijät is a TV series about hunting and fishing in modern-day Finland. The series follows the stories of the main characters, who are wilderness enthusiasts, as they hunt and fish. They are united by their love of Finnish nature, even though they come from different backgrounds and have different stories, and are from different parts of Finland. While the fells in the north are covered in snow and the lakes are frozen, in the south the ground is still thawed and people are fishing in flowing waters. And while large predators are hunted on the eastern border, further north people hunt waterfowl using traditional methods. The protection of game and fish stocks remains a vital part of the wilderness enthusiasts' hobby and way of life.
The long, cold winter has just hit New England, and while the bluefin tuna season has come to an end in Gloucester, Mass., it’s just getting started in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After a disappointing season, several of Gloucester’s top fishermen head south to try to salvage their finances by fishing for the elusive bluefin tuna in unfamiliar Carolina waters before the experienced locals beat them to the catch. It’s a whole new battlefield and the Northern captains must conquer new styles of fishing, treacherous waters and the wrath of the Outer Banks’ top fishermen. They’re gambling on what could be a massive payday … or a huge financial loss.
In the desolate outreaches of Bristol Bay, Alaska, the most competitive fishing season on Earth takes place throughout four short weeks. 1,800 captains and their crews draw the battle lines to help save Alaska's ecosystem by reeling in a massive sockeye salmon payday. With potential fortune swimming just below the surface, five captains prepare to battle the unforgiving bay, the battering ram of boats jockeying for position and the law, which strictly monitors the season with recon choppers and police squads. On the bay, fishing for the nearly 44 million salmon is necessary for the environment, and arm of the law is long, tempers are short and every single decision is the difference between drawing a huge income and settling for pennies.
Two close friends, globe-trotting angler Ali Hamidi and ex-pro footballer and avid fisherman Bobby Zamora (England, Spurs, West Ham, Fulham, QPR & Brighton), set off on a fishing bucket list tour around the British Isles. The boys visit some of Britain’s most iconic and beautiful angling venues while setting themselves tough angling missions along the way.
Fishing is a hard life, and harder with bluefin stocks depleted. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, there's a special breed of fishermen. For generations they've used rod and reel to catch the elusive bluefin tuna. They depend on these fish for their livelihood, and the competition is brutal. Over the next 10 weeks, the most skilled fishermen will set out in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic in hopes of catching the valuable bluefin tuna. When one bluefin can bring in as much as $20,000—they'll do whatever it takes to hook up.
