Andrews is one of the world\u2019s foremost fishing experts, having spent over three decades crafting a resume that includes building fishing lodges, training guides and leading exploratory fishing expeditions in over 20 countries. He has also won global competitions like Jackson Hole One Fly, The ESPN MadFin and The ESPN Great Outdoor Games, among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an avid fisherman myself, working with the likes of a word class angler and person like Carter Andrews has been a dream project,\u201d said McDermott. \u201cThis series is a continuation of Blackfin&#8217;s quest into adventure programming coupled with the company&#8217;s ability to track an investigation as Carter searches for fish of legend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Andrews added, \u201cFishing isn\u2019t a pastime or a hobby for me, it\u2019s a way of life. It has led me around the world in pursuit of some of the greatest game fish known to man and on adventures to some of the most remote places on our planet both in saltwater and in freshwater. Come join me as I share with you the people, the places and the legends of these great fish.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Geographic has ordered Legendary Catch, a six-episode Blackfin production that explores the planet\u2019s most storied fish with world-renowned angler Carter \u201cBig Boy\u201d Andrews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":12374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1401,3525,3526,1009],"class_list":["post-12373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-blackfin","tag-carter-andrews","tag-legendary-catch","tag-national-geographic","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nat Geo Orders Legendary Catch from Blackfin - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nat Geo Orders Legendary Catch from Blackfin - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"National Geographic has ordered Legendary Catch, a six-episode Blackfin production that explores the planet\u2019s most storied fish with world-renowned angler Carter \u201cBig Boy\u201d Andrews.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-12T15:33:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Carter-Andrews-Legendary-Catch-0319.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/\",\"name\":\"Nat Geo Orders Legendary Catch from Blackfin - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-03-12T15:33:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-03-12T15:33:43+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/nat-geo-orders-legendary-catch-from-blackfin\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Nat Geo Orders Legendary Catch from Blackfin\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
