For Immediate Release

Heliconia to Produce Kayak Fishing Series for NBC Sports

The Heliconia Press is excited to announce it has begun production of a kayak fishing mini-series, which will be broadcast into 76 million households through NBC Sports. Seaguar's Extreme Kayak Fishing Challenge will air throughout the 1st quarter of 2012, beginning December 26th, 2011.

The mini-series follows Ocean Kayak's Kayak Fishing Show host, Jim Sammons, on some of his most daring kayak fishing adventures. Watch Jim catch marlin from his kayak in Baja, battle tuna in Panama's Hannibal Banks, and survive a deadly experience fishing for monster pike on the whitewater rivers of Canada.

The series was made possible in part by Seaguar, with their involvement as Title Sponsor of the series. "I couldn't be more excited to have Seaguar involved as the Title Sponsor of the series" says Jim Sammons, "I've been a dedicated Seaguar fluorocarbon user for as long as I can remember, and now that they've released a world class braid and mono, Seaguar has everything that I both want and need."

Stay tuned for more information and for specific show times.

Yes I am super excited.

Congrats Jim! I remember the days of yore when I'd only see you and maybe 6-7 other yakers fishing Punta La Jolla! Now you're BIG TIME!

Don't forget the lil people.

Handymansd · 08-18-2011, 03:11 PM

Congrats on the new show Jim!

of all the people I have ever dealt with in my yakking, you would be the top of the list of people that have done more to advance the sport of kayak fishing than any other. I hope that you have time to enjoy your "success" and not be overwhelmed by the work!
If you ever decide that the success is overrated give me a call and I will fish with ya at pond LJ! Although I might have to fight Matt for the opportunity!

I look forward to watching the new gig!
