Have you watched river monsters with Jeremy Wade? If you don't, you never have.

We're still friends, but things are a little bit tense

between us right now.

You need to check this show out.

It is phenomenal.

The concept is very simple.

You got this guy who's old-time fisherman.

He's been doing this forever.

He's doing this kind of investigative journalism thing

where he looks into reports about incidents in fresh water and then he goes there to figure out what

kind of fish might have attacked the person.

And in doing so, we see how he interacts with the brotherhood and or sisterhood of Fisher people

all over the world and there's this mutual respect that they all have for each other

and they all fish in these different ways and you get to see Jeremy Wade try out all these different techniques, you know, depending on what makes the most sense for where he's trying to catch fish.

And so you'll see him from time to time do what I do. That's fly fishing. That's kind of a hunting fish art form with lightweight clever gear.

And other times you'll see him do like the spinner fishing thing like for bass trying to get something to chase your shiny lure at other times

You'll see him working with like a hand line which I don't really understand with like chunks of cut up meat on there trying to get

gigantic carnivorous fish. Other times you'll see him trying to use a net like there's this

this one technique like it's a throw net people People walk out into the shallow water.

It looks like they got almost nothing in their hand

and they do this move, like a video game character

or a superhero, and this net just explodes out of their hand
