Pat Spain is used to doing things that he acknowledges are not normal --
such as lying in a pit of 200,000 snakes or having a pygmy village take
excessive interest in his bathroom habits. /Sea Serpents: On the Hunt in
British Columbia/ chronicles the coolest thing this host of multiple
wildlife-adventure TV series has done yet -- traveling 1,000 feet
underwater in a three-man sub. Follow Spain, and the National Geographic
film crew that went with him, as he sets sail on a commercial fishing
boat with a dozen angry men; plays a dangerous, absolutely bonkers
sport; almost falls off a mountain while drunkenly hiking; and then
some. Spain puts his marine biology degree to good use by getting drunk
off the fumes of a pickled specimen of the largest bony fish on Earth,
all in an effort to track down the truth behind stories of a giant
Canadian sea serpent. The answer to the mystery probably isn't what
you're thinking.
