Premise
"Showtime" Eric Young, an avid yet novice outdoorsman and professional wrestler, is getting out of the ring and turning in his tights for some tackle. He's on the adventure of a lifetime to hear, smell and taste big and small stories of the one that got away. All across America, some fishermen go to extremes to haul in their catch - from using pantyhose on a rod and reel to catch sharks in the Atlantic Ocean to launching live bait with fire extinguishers on Lake Michigan. Young will try his hand at all of them. Using all sorts of unique bait, tackle, poles and transportation (and a little SPF), he is aiming to be the makeshift MacGyver of fishing while learning the best and most unusual techniques this country has to offer! Showtime Eric Young is about to embark on the ultimate amateur angling road trip and quench his thirst for adventure. From New England shores to the California coast, Young seeks out the experts in extreme fishing styles that utilize nontraditional equipment like paddleboards, jet skis, fire extinguishers, kites, and even pantyhose. The experiences push him to his physical and mental limits as he faces off with sailfish, sharks, and other ultimate catches of the country's waterways.
