Watch Olympic decathlete, Dean Macey, attempt to catch a selection of Britain's finest freshwater fish and beat a few of his personal bests along the way.
Roach Andy Little, top all-rounder, joins Dean at the picturesque Sway Lakes in Hampshire as he attempts to catch a 3lb Roach. Settling down in a perfect location surrounded by lilly-pads, Dean baits his swim with maggots, casts out his line with a double-caster hook bait and, three casts later, lands a cracker.
Catfish For Dean's grand finale he joins ace predator fisherman, Nige Williams, to attempt to snare the rarest and most mysterious fish of them all, the Catfish. Lakemore Fisheries in Cheshire is the venue and, armed with his 12 foot, 3 pounders with 15 pound main-line reels, they attempt to catch 35lb + catfish. Dean takes the number one swim on the lake then prepares for an all day and all night Catfish challenge.
