CLEARWATER, Fla. — A dream of starring in a television show chasing their passion has come true for a Clearwater man and his three friends.
- Charter fishing company owner lands Animal Planet series
- Brian Jill, buddies travel world looking for extreme fishing spots
- "You're going to laugh. I doubt you're going to cry," he says
Brian Jill owns a charter fishing company. On Sunday evening, he is being featured in a new show on Animal Planet called "Fish or Die" with his three best friends.
"We’ve been trying to get this style of show on a major network for the last six years," Jill said.
There are 10 episodes, each an hour long. The show documents the friends traveling around the world to find the wildest fishing spots.
"There’s so many elements about this show that are not about fishing that I think a lot of people are going to be entertained by it," Jill said.
He says the goal of each trip for the men is having an adventure and catching unique fish.
"(We want to) find the most remote and complicated places to access, because we’re hoping the fish are going to be easier to catch," Jill said.
Each episode takes place in a different location. Jill said the friends find themselves in some interesting situations.
"It’s going to be funny; it’s going to be entertaining. You’re going to laugh. I doubt you’re going to cry," Jill said.
The show premieres at 10 p.m. Sunday on Animal Planet.
