From the astonishing to the weird to the simply unfathomable, National Geographic brings you face to face with the enormous and bizarre fish that roam our waters and showcases the men and women who pursue these monster fish for food, sport and scientific discovery.
See a catfish the size of a black bear, a thousand-pound marlin with a deadly sharp bill, and the fanatic men and women who use their own arms for bait. Although battered and bitten, for these fishers, catching fish bare-handed is an obsession worth the risk. Each encounter with monster fish brings us closer to understanding them. Witness the most extreme situations and see the latest techniques used to achieve the ultimate goal of catching the largest fish of all. Features three full programs: Hooked: Monster Fish, Hooked: Caught Bare-handed, and the bonus program Hooked Again: Monster Fish.
