Young's versatility isn't confined the squared circle (or the 6-sided one), as in July of 2012 Animal Planet premiered a TV show called 'Off The Hook: Extreme Catches', that was hosted by none other than EY himself.

The show followed Young as he went out to fish with some of the most unusual and unorthodox fishermen he could find, with Young's enthusiasm and personality a big selling point for the show.

EY traversed the entire United States in search of these bonkers baiters, and insanity wasn't shy in chomping on the hook.

The show ran for two seasons, the first of which ended with an episode brilliantly named Carp-ocalypse Now'. Other doozies include 'Go Ahead, Mako My Day!' and 'Marlin: Impossible'. Brilliant.
