Watch The Big Fish Travel Channel online: Episode 13 The very best of

For Marc the best thing about Friday afternoons is that you can escape from the crowds and traffic of the city and “Go Fishing”. In this final episode, Marc is able to re-live that “get away’ feeling and reflect on the best moments from the series. The production team travelled throughout Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific in search of the ultimate fishing adventures and travelling to a fishing location is often as much of an adventure as the destination and fishing itself. The goal was always to catch a particular fish and Marc managed to hook a wide variety of target species from the exotic Mahi Mahi to the unique Doubleheader Wrasse of Lord Howe Island. There were many types of fishing that challenged Marc including fly fishing for Rainbow Trout, Helifishing and beach fishing. Boats play a huge part in any fishing adventure and Marc was out on the water in a wide variety of crafts. Nothing quite compared with “The True North” the luxury “live aboard” on the Kimberley Coast. Although the simple pleasures of fishing in aboriginal elder Les Gibson’s “tinnie” were hard to beat. The locations in which Marc fished ranged from tranquil mountain lakes to active volcanoes. For some reason fish seem to hang out in some of the most beautiful and spectacular places on earth. A highlight of “The Big Fish” was the fishermen who taught Marc how to fish and more than a bit about life as well. Who could forget “Hairy Dog”, the crusty Barramundi man from the Kimberley or the very Zen Kapena Nelson from Savu Savu in Fiji. The series title is “The Big Fish” and that is what Marc was always after. The series provided three outstanding examples of really “big fish” - The Great White Sharks off Port Lincoln, the Yellowtail Kingfish off White Island and the unforgettable Black Marlin on the Great Barrier Reef.
