Episode Description[]
Wade has heard tales of a body-snatching spirit that locals call the Water Mama. Now, people are disappearing from these waters and Jeremy is convinced there's a real flesh and blood River Monster lurking behind the legend.
Episode Summary[]
Wade learns of a water-dwelling killer in the remote jungles of Guyana that is blamed for the disappearances of many victims. The creature, nicknamed the "water mama" by locals, is described as a real-life mermaid. Setting off deep into the jungle to find out what could possibly have inspired such a legend, Wade finds himself once again doing battle with his greatest adversary, the arapaima. Not only are the arapaima in the area far bigger and more aggressive than those he has ever battled before, they are illegal to fish for. Through contact with a local chief, Wade manages to secure permission to fish for arapaima, but must do so in a way he has never done before – by fly fishing. Feeling outgunned due to this handicap, Wade soon finds himself locked in combat with the largest arapaima he has ever caught.
