Just Wow The TV show River Monsters ended because Jeremy Wade caught every giant Freshwater Fish species on Earth, leaving no remaining content for the show

He should have transitioned to a show about people that pollute rivers. He could still use the same name.

Exactly why in Finding Bigfoot, they will never actually find Bigfoot. Or at least won't put out any clips of actually finding Bigfoot. Then they wouldn't have a show anymore. They'd have to go get real jobs now and where are you gonna work if you're only work history is Bigfoot searching?

Well I think the reason they’ll never find Bigfoot doesn’t have anything to do with extending the show…

National Park tour guide seems like a reasonable work transition from Bigfoot hunting

No one ever plans for when you inevitably catch them all

IIRC, a good portion of the final of the season of the show was Jeremy fishing in the ocean. Guess it just didn’t have the same pull as the rivers did

That's irrelevant , everything on TV is shit repeats so the show will live forever. ( I'm not a fisherman but it was excellent to watch ) .

He should make a new show about catching Redditors that post this same post every week.

He has done a million times more to help conserve these beautiful beasts than you’d do in a thousand lifetimes. Beyond the obvious of raising more awareness for large river fish species than anyone in history, he is also a zoologist and has dedicated his life to these animals, he’s contributed to science, provided priceless genetic samples and rare underwater footage for studying and has been a staunch advocate for cleaning rivers. Meanwhile the most you’ve done for them is talk shit about a guy that’s helping them on Reddit lol

I swear people don't understand jokes holy shit, article saying he'd caught almost every freshwater fish. I know that it doesn't mean literally every fish fuckin hell lol. That comment really shouldn't have needed an /s but I guess it did for you

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny? Maybe I just don’t understand the humour of saying the complete opposite of what’s happening with no punchline or anything? I guess at 24 I’m already getting too old to keep up with modern humour.

Or maybe you're just someone who takes everything they read literally and is unable to comprehend any kind of sarcasm or joke.

Well uh yeah that’s what I said, maybe I just don’t understand.
