How far would you go to land your dream fish? What sacrifices would you make? Before you answer, for a measure of perspective, consider the exploits of Jeremy Wade. The presenter of the hit TV show River Monsters has dedicated his life to the pursuit of the world’s most fearsome underwater inhabitants in some of its most inhospitable regions. He’s been accused of spying, contracted near-fatal malaria, crash-landed in the Amazon jungle and narrowly escaped death at the hands of bloodthirsty villagers in the Congo — all thanks to an all-consuming passion for what lurks beneath the surface of the world’s waters…
