Robson Green is in Iceland, a country with thousands of miles of uninhabited coastline and rivers, and where fishing accounts for a whopping 70 per cent of the national income. There he joins a group of ice fishermen and takes on the local champion anglers.

Robson Green visits South Africa, where he goes in pursuit of yellowfish in the company of two yellowfish specialists and his uncle Matheson. He also tries fishing from a ski boat in the country's tempestuous waters and gets up close and personal with a great white shark off Cape Town. Finally, Robson enters South Africa's most prestigious sports fishing contest, The Richards Bay Billfish Tournament.
