After great action with Yellowtail Snapper on shrimp baits, the boys Jump at the chance to up the ante when Shawn spots some Dorado and Tuna feeding in the distance. Finally, it’s back to shore where, given Cameron’s surprise Tuna catch, Chef Antonio teaches the boys how to carve up the world’s freshest sushi.

Hosts Antonio ‘smash’ Meleca and Shawn ‘fish on’ DeGagne visit Bear Creek in Calender Bay of Ontario, Canada in this episode of Celebrity Fish and Fire, this time joining NHL hockey stars Darren Turcotte and Scott Wray in pursuit of freshwater predators. Tough guys Darren and Scott already have fishing experience, so the competitive tension is high. After a bumper morning jigging worm baits for Bass, Perch and Walleye, Chef Antonio takes the haul back to shore to cook up some incredible beer battered Perch tacos. After a dangerous afternoon of Pike fishing, it’s Scott and Darren’s turn on the grill, where if anything the competition only gets more heated.

Chef Antonio Meleca and Shawn DeGagne are pulling NHL hockey stars Jesse Winchester and Erik Gudbranson off the Ice and into the water in this episode of Celebrity Fish and Fire, as the show heads for the sport fishing capital of the world; the Florida Keys! Jesse and Erik aren’t just star athletes, they’re avid fisherman. Jesse starts off with the ultimate thrill when he hooks perhaps the best sport fish in the world, a silver tarpon by the underpass. But it’s Erik that has the real shock of the trip, when he does battle with a gigantic Stingray! In an effort to catch something a little more edible, the crew head far offshore where massive schools of predators like Dorado, Triggerfish and Yellowtail are feeding beneath some driftwood. As always, Chef Antonio come up with the goods, as he serves up some Keys inspired rainbow sushi.

NFL stars Mike Mauti and Michael Zordich join hosts Shawn DeGagne and Antonio Meleca for this episode of Celebrity Fish and Fire, as they fish for a variety of species on Lake St. Catherine, Vermont. College buddies Mike of the New Orleans Saints and Michael of the Carolina Panthers are no stranger to friendly competition, so the day’s wager is who can catch the most fish and who can cook the best dish. Mike Mauti’s a self-proclaimed local fishing hero, so he joins up with Antonio on Lake St. Catherine fishing along the edges for Redfish and Speckled Sea Trout. Close to the structures, the boat quickly starts filling up with Needlefish, Sheepshead, Redfish, Trout and Flounder. Back on Shore, Chef Antonio puts the Sheepshead to use cooking up a Louisiana style Jumbalaya, while the boys return with their prizes. To settle the score, Mike and Michael go head-to-head once again, frying up some Louisiana style fish and chips.

MLB pitcher Chris Tillman of the Baltimore Orioles joins our hosts Shawn DeGagne and Antonio Meleca for this episode of Celebrity Fish and Fire, as the crew hit Isla Morada in the Florida Keys for all manner of massive sport fish. Biggest fish is the competition of the day, which shouldn’t be a problem when Grouper, Tripletail, Dorado, Tuna, Amberjack, Barracuda and King Mackerel are on the menu. Chris’s father-in-law Greg Hellman, his competitor for the day, has a big task ahead of him. When he’s not pitching in the offseason, Chris like to hit up the Bass tournaments, so he’s not stranger to the water, but the Keys are different! Hooking the fish is rarely the issue in the sport fishing capital of the world, but Chris quickly finds out he’s not the only one hunting Grouper, when a monster Shark steals his first catch. It’s Greg gets on the scoreboard first when he lands the biggest Dorado his partner Antonio’s ever seen. When a tropical storm front moves in, Chef Antonio heads back to shore for a masterclass in leaf wrapped Salmon fillets, before the boys finally settle the score with a King Mackerel grill challenge.

UFC martial arts stars Jim Miller and Dan Miller go for the knockout in this episode of Celebrity Fish and Fire, as they compete to see who can catch the most fish and who can cook the best dish in Ontario, Canada. It’s a long way from the usual sport fishing trip in the sunny Florida Keys, so hosts Antonio Meleca and Shawn DeGagne opt for a more civilised approach in the freezing north and build a fishing lodge on the water. Jigging lures through holes in the Ice, the boys put their competitive nature to work catching Walleye and Perch. After Chef Antonio shows of his incredible Tuna Ceviche, Jim and Dan get to work on their own signature Perch Chowders. But who will take home the belt?
