Tonight’s episode of Hook, Line & Dinner really tested me. Though it lacked the barracuda danger I encountered during my last trip to the Bahamas, this time around, the Caribbean definitely felt a lot more challenging. When I heard that a local diver would be taking me on a hunt for spiny lobsters, I thought [...]
This week on Hook, Line & Dinner, I head to the Big Apple to prove that New York City is really just one giant fishing village. One key person in tonight’s episode is my good buddy Pastor Phil. To help you appreciate him, here’s a little background. One day while I was fishing from the [...]
It’s safe to say I can get a little carried away on Hook, Line & Dinner, a little overly involved. Well, tonight is a prime example. I decided I was going to catch a snakehead fish, no matter what. My relationship with the snakehead fish started a long time ago when I worked for the [...]

The key to cooking your fresh-out-of-the-water fish is to keep it light, simple and whatever you do, don’t [...]
On this week’s Hook, Line & Dinner, I head to Canada on a quest to hook my first Tyee. Tyee, the Canadian Aboriginal peoples’ original word for “chief” or “big one,” now refers to chinook salmon, which are plentiful in the Campbell River near Vancouver Island. If I can snag a 30-pounder, I’ll become a [...]
