Chefs a' field. Kids on the farm. Rockfish round-up. Season 3

Description

The rockfish, known by most as the striped bass, was virtually extinct 15 years ago, when many felt the Chesapeake Bay could no longer sustain its ecosystem. But as we learn on this fishing voyage with one of Washington, D.C.'s most acclaimed chefs, the rockfish has become an environmental success story, and the bay is in recovery. Chef Wiedmaier, his two sons, Beck, age 3, and Marcel, age 7, along with their 7-year-old friend Lars, haul in a healthy catch as the boys spend the day on this beautiful bay. As they catch and release the bass, marine biologist Jim Chambers is on hand to explain the bay's ecosystem and describe what makes the rockfish recovery so special. And of course, no "story" is complete without a few big ones, caught by the young fishermen to take home for dinner.
