Jim Sammons, host of The Kayak Fishing Show, is known worldwide for pushing the limits of kayak fishing. During the shooting of an episode of The Kayak Fishing Show, Jim hooked up with world champion whitewater kayaker's Ken Whiting and Brendan Mark on Canada's Ottawa River. The goal was to paddle through the river's rapids to access remote and otherwise inaccessible bays.
