Stihl's Reel in the Outdoors

Reel in the Outdoors actually started as an idea several years ago. While there are plenty of great fishing shows on the tube, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to see why Americans absolutely and undeniably love fishing.

So I set out, camera, microphone and a rough idea in hand, to find out what makes America so interested and intent on angling. What we found not only surprised us, it entertained us, too. Not only did we get a chance to spend time with some of the top anglers in the country on their favorite body of water, but we also got to meet people who are passionate about not only fishing, but their unique style of fishing.

This season on Stihl's Reel in the Outdoors, I'll travel from Mexico to Alaska, fish farm ponds and streams, chase bass, king salmon, muskie, catfish and whatever else will bite, and try to pass along tips, hints and secrets I've learned from over 25 years on the pro tournament trail to help you enjoy angling more than ever before.

And now you’re wondering…why is a chainsaw company sponsoring a fishing show? Well, I’ve been fortunate enough to be associated with Stihl and Bryan Equipment Company, the Stihl distributor in my home region, for many years. The folks at Stihl get it. They understand that the same passion and desire that attracts people to angling also attracts them to the do-it-yourself spirit that Stihl embodies. Stihl didn’t become the number one chainsaw manufacturer in the world by accident. It’s hard work, dedication and a commitment to excellence that drives the Stihl brand. So visit your local Stihl dealer or their website. Let them know you support a company that support your passion and the great outdoors.

The Catch: Costa Rica

The Catch: Costa Rica is a high octane reality competition series that takes the contestants on a fishing adventure like you’ve never seen before. Twelve men and women with limited fishing experience travel to Costa Rica where they must live with one another, hone their angling skills and out-fish the competition to earn the title of Ultimate Fisherman and win a prize of $50,000. In thirteen half-hour episodes, the contestants will experience all the thrills and heartbreak of coastal fishing in Costa Rica and will hold the fate of their fellow contestants in their hands as they must choose who to vote off at the conclusion of each round.

These twelve strangers all bring something different to the table. A school teacher, a used car salesman, a retired grandfather, a boat captain, a student, a traveler, a model, and a computer technician are among the distinct personalities that experience all the most exciting and the most challenging fishing that Costa Rica has to offer.

Hostess Aurelia Riley guides these twelve contestants through their adventures with the help of three fishing experts, one in each of the coveted, diverse fishing spots all across the country. Some of the big game fish hauled in by the anglers include tarpon, tuna, dorado, sailfish and the biggest of them all, marlin. For one determined contestant, it will take perseverance, the ability to learn the art of fishing and the skill to win the battle with these graceful monsters of the sea to become the Ultimate Fisherman.

Aurelia Rose Riley was born and raised in Rockledge, FL. where she developed her passion for both performance and the outdoors. From there she ventured off to St. Andrews Presbyterian College to study Equine Business for a year, competing at the collegiate level in hunter/jumpers, before catching the performance bug and transferred to Savannah College of Art and Design. After graduating from SCAD with a B.F.A in Media and Performing Arts, she was offered a role in Dreamland Drive-In, a stage production at the fabulous Dollywood themepark in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. While in TN she enjoyed her time working for Mrs. Dolly Parton not only at Dollywood but also at Dolly's Dixie Stampede. There she was offered the role as dance captain and loved her line of work dancing in the dirt, riding ostriches, and getting buck wild! Yeehaw!! Then the title role in a little show called "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" brought her across the country to Los Angeles where it ran for a month at the Key Club on the Sunset Strip. Residing now in LA she is working on upcoming projects and is assistant to the head trainer of D&D Stables, a hunter/jumper show farm. She is currently the hostess of the new television series The Catch: Costa Rica.

Half way around the world, twelve competitors meet for the first time. As the group gets to know each other, basic fishing skills are forged on the waters of the Rio Colorado. With new teams forming and rivalries starting up, who will emerge as pack leader?

Episode 2
Beneath the murky flow of the Rio Colorado lies a giant. Having cut their teeth on the exotic species of the Rio Colorado back waters, twelve challengers go head to head with one of the legends of sport fishing, the tarpon. As frustrations mount and threaten the very core of these novices, find out who strikes first in round one of this exciting two-part episode.

Episode 3
The Battle Royal continues. With an elimination on the horizon, and no clear winner in sight, this 'rumble in the jungle' blazes on. Will the decisions of episode two spell victory or defeat, and when push comes to shove, will the teams fall victim to the 'Silver King', or demonstrate the skills they need to keep their heads above water?
