ITM Fishing Show - Saturdays, 5:30pm.
The fishing show made by fishermen for fishermen!
When the show's creators Matt Watson and Kerren Packer first made the ITM Fishing Show in 2004, they were light on budget and TV-making experience, but what they lacked in experience they made up for with innovation and enthusiasm. Since then, their show has gained a firm following.
Battling huge marlin on a jet-ski and swimming with mako sharks with fish strapped to his body, were just a few of the more 'out there' fishing acts seen on the last series of the ITM Fishing Show. However even by his own admission Matt has pushed the envelope to the limits of sanity by hand lining in a giant blue fin tuna, 100 kilometres off the South Island's rugged West Coast – from a dinghy!
This season fans will get to see more full-on action, more extraordinary fishing feats, as well as the dazzling underwater footage which has become a hallmark of the show.
