1 - Atlantic Blue Marlin 4/3
Guy Harvey visits three locations; Venezuela, Ghana and the Virgin Islands to follow scientists in their quest to learn more about migrations and habitat use by one of the world’s most powerful fish, featuring great underwater footage.
2 – Pacific Sailfish of Costa Rica 4/10
Set in the fabulous resort of Los Suenos, Guy Harvey and his family fish for large Pacific sailfish helping Dr. Mike Domeier test a new type of pop-up satellite tag. Great underwater encounters.
3 - Pacific Blue Marlin 4/17
The Pacific coast of Central America is good area for blue marlin generally, and Guy Harvey visits Panama and Costa Rica, as the top blue marlin scientists, gather further data on these huge game fish.
4 - White Marlin 4/24
Venezuela and the Caribbean coast of Mexico are the areas visited by Guy Harvey and his team of scientists and artists which include Kent Ullberg, America’s most famous wildlife sculptor. Dr. John Graves leads the research work in post-release survival of white marlin caught on a variety of hook types.
5 - Striped Marlin of the Galapagos 5/1
Guy Harvey gets close and personal with big striped marlin in the remote Galapagos Islands. Guy follows the efforts of Tim Choate in pioneering a fledgling recreational fishery in the face of opposition from other user groups. Great underwater action.
6 - Atlantic Sailfish 5/8
The Caribbean coast of Mexico is Guy Harvey’s coice for sailfish action, and he accompanies fellow artist Kent Ullberg, on a research trip with Dr. John Graves of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. Great underwater encounters.
7 - Eastern Pacific Black Marlin 5/17
Guy Harvey joins Paxson Offield and Dr. Mike Domeier as they work to learn more about the migrations of black marlin in the tropical Eastern Pacific. Set in the beautiful location of Tropic Star Lodge, there is tremendous black marlin action and great underwater footage.
8 – Yellowfin Tuna 5/26
Wherever Guy Harvey travels to encounter billfish there are yellow fin tuna as they are a prime food source for big marlin.

9 - Western Pacific Black Marlin 5/31
Guy Harvey visits the Great Barrier Reef in search of that BIG fish accompanied by Bill Boyce, Dr. Julian Pepperell and Dr. Mike Domeier, where tagging big sharks is just as important as tagging black marlin that gather annually to spawn.
10 - Pacific Sailfish, Panama 6/14
Guy Harvey fishes with son, Alexander and Dr. Eric Prince who enjoys a tremendous sailfish bite off Tropic Star Lodge. Dr. Prince is the leading scientist in research on sailfish and explains the results of several tagging expeditions to learn more about habitat compression and horizontal migration.
11 - Striped Marlin (Composite) 6/16
Guy Harvey travels all over the eastern Pacific in search of striped marlin encountering some large aggregations of Baja Mexico. Amazing underwater feeding sequences. Tagging efforts by the Offield Centre for Billfish Studies in southern California and Hawaii give some idea of the distance traveled by these amazing animals.
12 – Billfish Feeding Behavior 6/19
The most exciting episode, where Guy Harvey encounters feeding schools of striped marlin and sailfish and gets up really close filming cooperative feeding efforts on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Mexico. Stunning underwater footage.
13 – Best Of PFTD 6/21
