Extreme Fishing with Robson Green - Extreme Fishing World Tour Episode 3

China is the world?s largest consumer of fish, with 11,000 miles of coastline, 3,000 lakes and 1,500 rivers at its disposal. The Chinese have devised all kinds of strange and ingenious fishing techniques, and Robson is about to experience one of the most extraordinary.

At Qiandao lake, he joins 100 locals who are after the most revered fish in China ? the stunning big-headed carp. Helping them to pull in a huge net containing thousands of jumping, thrashing carp, Robson then samples the catch ? including the delights of carp lips and eyeballs!

New gastronomic experiences also await Robson at his next stop. In Xiu Shan, to the south-east of Shanghai, Robson spends a day hunting octopus in the mud. After hours of futile digging, and a lot of help from local expert Zhang, Robson finally snags himself a tentacled catch.

Next, Robson arrives at the Longhu River for one of the world?s most iconic and ancient fishing methods: cormorant fishing.

Finally, Robson gets to use a traditional rod and reel ? in the prestigious Dongtou International Fishing tournament.
