About this programme

6/8. The actor travels to the east coast of America, where he fishes for bluefin tuna in the shadow of New York's Statue of Liberty, before heading to Montauk, the scene of events that inspired Peter Benchley's novel Jaws. His next stop is Long Island, where he tries his hand at the perilous sport of skishing, in which participants fish while swimming in a wetsuit, and takes part in a lobster-catching contest in Maine. He ends his journey fishing for cod and haddock in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
