The Fish Warrior features lifelong adventure angler and world record-holding fisherman Jakub Vágner as he embarks on extreme fishing expeditions to the most remote regions of the world.

In search for a 9ft specimen the team travels to the rarely accessed Fraser River Canyon. Only accessible by navigating through the unforgiving Hells Gate section of the river, where depths can get less than 12 inches and the rapids would make your average boater turn back, Great River Fishing Adventures is the only operator that has trained guides that can make this treacherous journey.
