Concept
The show is about teaching the anglers the knowledge and techniques required to target trophy fish in shallow water. There is a strong focus on being respectful to sea life and its habitats.
Locations
The majority of season one took viewers to fishing locations around New Zealand, but two episodes are filmed at North America and Thailand. Season 2 included destinations to Panama and Australia, and season 3 was solely focused on New Zealand fishing destinations
Reception and other information
Big Angry Fish (and Fishing Edge) were praised for "consistent fishing action, laidback yet knowledgeable hosts and minimal product plugging".
In 2015, a kayak fisherman who regularly watched the show won a trip on the water with the programme's presenters.
