Wanna Go Fishing?

MOSCOW, ID ? October 25, 2008 - Do You Wanna' Go Fishing? What if host Matt Eastman bumped into you and asked you that very question? What if he told you that you had two phone calls and five minutes to decide if you wanted to go to the end of the earth for the fishing experience of a lifetime? Whether it's black marlin off the coast of Panama, giant tuna in the Mexican Pacific, or trophy tarpon in the Florida Keys, “Wanna' Go Fishing,” a hit TV series on ESPN2, will make your dream come true if you've “Got the Guts to Go.”

“Wanna' Go Fishing? Presented by Toyota Tundra” is an innovative new ESPN television show that brings reality-based programming into the outdoor genre. Matt Eastman travels across the country searching for the ideal guest to join him for the most incredible saltwater fishing action in the world. It could be as far as the coast of Africa or as near as the Florida Keys... that's what makes the show so exciting... the guests never know their ultimate destination.

“We want to help people take the trip of a lifetime?something they couldn't necessarily do on their own,” said Chris Fischer, CEO/Founder of Fischer Productions. “These people have amazing stories and our audience becomes naturally connected to the show since anyone could potentially be chosen. Some of our guests are real fishermen, but we're mainly interested in people who are passionate outdoorsmen or who are at least adventurous enough to be willing to drop everything right now and go!”

The result is an intoxicating mix of hilarious interviews, phone calls to bosses and wives, mad dashes to pack belongings, and some of the most incredible fishing experiences imaginable. It's a new breed of outdoor television where boating and fishing becomes a backdrop for the real story, which is about the guests and their lives. “Wanna' Go Fishing? Presented by Toyota Tundra” airs every Sunday morning on ESPN2 from April through June of 2009.
