Animal Planet debuted its new reality competition series, "Top Hooker." The show is about finding the best fisherman out there, but we're pretty sure the contestants weren't prepared for the fishing technique they had to use in the premiere.

They had to get into a tank with 15,000 goldfish and catch as many as they could -- with their mouths!

“This challenge is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever done in fishing," one contestant, Patrick, said.

Another contestant, Greg, did develop a strategy. "I’m thinking like a Striped Bass," he said. Striped Bass have to inhale their fish so I’m gonna go and inhale these small fish.”

In the end, though, neither men won that battle. Melanie came out on top by catching 21 goldfish. Again, this was with her mouth while swimming in a tank filled with them. It certainly takes dedication to become "Top Hooker."

The search for the best hooker in America is coming to cable TV.

A major channel has ordered Top Hooker, an unscripted competition series that puts a diverse group of 10 competitors through a series of “mind-blowing” challenges to determine who is the best in the business — and only one can come out on top to collect a $30,000 prize.

At this point, we should probably mention Top Hooker is on Animal Planet. And it’s about fishing.

In the spirit of popular fishing reality shows Rivers Monsters and Hillbilly Handfishin’ comes Top Hooker, where the world’s best anglers (including contestant Larysa,...
