Extreme Fishing With Robson Green - Season 4 Episode 5 New Caledonia

This time Robson’s way past Australia and out into the Pacific, where he finds a fishing paradise waiting. New Caledonia is a sun-kissed island, home to the world’s largest lagoon and a place where new fish species are still being discovered. Robson’s aiming to travel to the outer reaches, where westerners rarely venture, and learn the fishing ways of the tribes people who live there. Today, Robson’s hunting for a New Caledonia speciality; the Flame Snapper. It’s a fish he’s never seen before, but one he’ll not forget quickly. Father and son team, Yann and Joelle, are amongst the best fishermen on the island and today Robson’s their apprentice, and he’ll need to impress as he quickly learns Yann doesn’t suffer fools. It’s not long before Robson’s fighting to bring in a one-metre long Spanish Mackerel. To the north of the island lie the territories of the island’s native population, the Kanak. These lads know how to fish and they give Robson a warm welcome, but the fish aren’t so accommodating, as Robson is singled out for a jellyfish attack. New Caledonia is the destination for one fish; the Giant Trevally, and Robson has permission to fish the Kanak waters for them. When he gets it on the hook and feels the fight on the end of his line, he realises he’s not going to be disappointed. Now all he has to do is land it.
