Vampire fish
A giant sabre toothed vampire fish drags Steve’s boat downriver. They hit a submerged rock, throwing the hapless presenter into the powerful current. Fortunately the cameraman stays on board and the whole sequence is caught on camera, with Steve bringing to the boat this most impressive and intimidating of Amazon predatory fish.

WHAT THE VIEWERS SAY..
SERIES 2
The high-octane follow up series, filmed in Guyana South America, steps up the adventure even further! The series is now enjoying global distribution with sales to date in New Zealand and France.
Record breaker
After a gruelling two hour boat journey upriver Steve and his guide Lawrence explore a hidden backwater known to the local tribes people for its enormous arapaima. Steve defies the odds and smashes his freshwater record, catching the fish of a lifetime, an immense arapaima of three metres in length and weighing over 250 pounds.
The jungle kitchen
Supplies run low in Steve’s basic jungle camp and the crew is forced to eat what they can catch. A very welcome addition to the menu is a snake that the locals hunt down with bow and arrows and is expertly prepared ‘jungle style’ by the camp chef.

Hook in Leg
Hooked in the leg
To add to the team's woes one of the crew snags his leg on a large treble fishing hook. Many hundreds of miles from medical assistance, Steve has no option but to remove the hook himself using a primitive and risky technique.
