Oh my God.. I'm totally trapped in the wrong body..
Is it wrong that I'm now addicted to Extreme Fishing III on channel 5? I watched it over the weekend (a repeat, I gather) where the lucky viewer witnessed Robson Greene fish for Sable fish and nearly get swept out to sea and compete against a Canadian in some sort of line fishing thing.. Anyway, I take it that the footage has been heavily edited to fit into a nice 30 minute viewing time, but it's so exciting!! And I enjoyed seeing what all the fish actually look like.
Monday saw King Salmon fishing- they're beautiful fish!! I was a bit concerned when the head fisherman chap bonked the fish over the head with a metal pole (to kill it? or stun it?) but the fish carried on gulping...
THEN! Our intrepid Geordie went to Alaska to catch Pike (apparently delicious) by ice-fishing.. I never knew fishing was so exciting, I'm totally glued to this infernal programme now..

The Germans eat pike too. They have such a bad reputation in Ireland, no-one would ever consider eating them.
