9Scapa Flow1 Nov 2016 · 25mThe lads hunt for fish from the legendary wrecks of Scapa Flow, but the ling that they are trying to catch will be hiding deep down in the ice cold water, leaving the fisherman having to work out how to get at them, and then how to catch them.
10Norway8 Nov 2016 · 25mThe team heads to Norway on a mission to catch a king crab.
