Extreme Fishing with Robson Green

While touring the eastern seaboard of the United States, the actor pursues shark and bluefin tuna in the coastal waters during the same trip. He then boards a local fisherman’s trawler to hunt for Massachusetts lobster along the New England coastline.

The programme documents a short journey along the eastern seaboard of the United States, with the focus on a single actor who sets out to experience the region’s marine life first‑hand. It frames the trip as a blend of adventure and coastal tradition, positioning the visitor’s perspective against the backdrop of the Atlantic shoreline. During the visit, the actor spends part of his time hunting for both shark and bluefin tuna, engaging directly with these prized species. After that pursuit, he teams up with a local fisherman, boarding the fisherman’s trawler to embark on a search for the famed Massachusetts lobster. The sequence moves from the open‑water chase for large fish to a more targeted, shore‑based quest for crustaceans. The episode’s structure highlights the contrast between two very different forms of sea‑based activity. First, the solitary, high‑energy hunt for shark and tuna showcases the challenges of targeting fast, powerful fish. Then, the collaborative effort aboard a working trawler underscores the communal, methodical nature of lobster fishing in New England waters. By juxtaposing these experiences, the programme offers a concise look at the varied ways people interact with the Atlantic’s bounty.
