Book ID/图书代码： 06580010B42873

English Summary/英文概要： The television show ‘River Monsters’ is the most successful series in Animal Planet’s history. Nearly 2 million people watched the season two debut episode in April 2010. Now, as the much-hyped third season begins in April 2011, host and extreme angler Jeremy Wade – a freshwater Indiana Jones – brings the adventure to life on the page, taking readers below the surface to explore one of the last frontiers. In addition to telling the stories behind the incredible episodes of the television show in which Wade has traveled around the world searching for—and catching—extreme fish (piranha, fresh-water sharks, man-eating catfish), the author will also tell the amazing, never-before heard stories of other expeditions in remote locations to find and catch the most intriguing game that inhabit the world’s waters, and the folklore and biology that make their stories come alive.

“Fishing may be a hobby to you, but for Jeremy Wade, host of Animal Planet’s River Monsters, it’s a way of life. Wade scours the rivers of the world for the stuff of legend, and we’re lucky enough to bear witness. Viewers have seen him catch a lot of big fish . . . but most of the thrill comes from watching the hunt.”
