Plot Synopsis

Professional wrestler 'Showtime' Eric Young travels across America -- from New England to the beaches of North Carolina to the coast of Florida -- in search of the most outrageous fishing experiences. As Young criss-crosses the nation, he'll experience: paddleboard fishing for a lemon shark, blacktip shark or bull shark in Florida; white-water kayak bass fishing on the Devils River in Texas; balloon fishing for redfish in San Antonio; fishing off a jet ski, while venturing 30 miles off the coast of North Carolina in the Graveyard of the Atlantic; raft fishing for sailfish, using plywood and an inner tube off the coast of Miami; hunting flounder in the shallow waters of Cape Carteret; skishing in Jamestown, Rhode Island; nighttime squid jigging off Point Judith, Rhode Island; using pantyhose on a rod and reel to catch sharks in the Atlantic Ocean; fly fishing for Mako sharks in San Diego; urban fishing in New York; free dive underwater spear fishing in Long Island Sound; and many more angling adventures in America.
