Watch The Big Fish Travel Channel online: Episode 2 Hunt for the Great White Shark

We venture to Port Lincoln in South Australia in search of the world’s most feared predator – the Great White Shark. Marc Vincent meets Rolf Czabayaski at the Hotel Boston (a classic Aussie pub). Rolf is one of Australia’s leading Great White Shark experts. He was once a shark hunter, but such is his fascination with these creatures that he now works with conservationists tagging and tracking them. Fours hours steaming due South on Rolf’s magnificent boat, the Calypso Star, Marc arrives at North Neptune Island. The colonies of seals are a good indication that there will be Great Whites as they love to “snack” on the pups. Rolf soon has a blood and burley trail from the boat. Not surprisingly Marc is a little nervous about getting into the flimsy aluminium cage with the sharks. The scene inside the cage is very surreal as the clouds of blood envelope Marc. The sharks don’t arrive. Over dinner Rolf promises an increasingly confident Marc that they will come tomorrow. Marc wakes to a stunning sunrise over North Neptune Island. He decides to explore the island. As soon as Marc leaves the Calypso Star the Great Whites arrive. They rip clean through the rope attaching the Tuna bait to a buoy. Marc returns to the boat and slips into the shark cage. A huge Great White appears and glides within inches of Marc in a chilling close encounter. For a while it’s uncertain as to whether the shark wants the tuna carcasses or Marc inside the cage! Then the shark makes it very clear as it tries to get at Marc in a memorable shark meets man sequence. Back at Port Lincoln Marc is still trying to come to terms with this remarkable experience when the publican at the Boston Hotel puts it all into perspective -“Don’t forget there’s more sharks on the land than there are in the sea”
