Top Hooker is a reality competition television series that aired on Animal Planet in 2013. The show was hosted by Reno Collier and judged by fishing experts Patrick Crawford and Larysa Switlyk. The premise of the show was to find the best fishing expert in America. Each week, ten contestants competed in various challenges to prove their skills and knowledge of the sport. The challenges included catching specific fish, using specific equipment or techniques, and completing obstacle courses while fishing.

The contestants were divided into two teams, and each week one person from the losing team was eliminated. The winner of the competition received a cash prize of $30,000, a trophy, and the title of Top Hooker.

The show was filmed on location at a fishing resort in California. The set was designed to give viewers the feeling that they were watching a live fishing tournament, and the hosts provided commentary and analysis throughout the competition.

One of the unique aspects of Top Hooker was the diversity of the contestants. The show featured both men and women from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Some contestants had years of experience as professional anglers, while others were amateurs with a passion for fishing.

Another key aspect of the show was the emphasis on conservation and sustainable fishing practices. The judges regularly evaluated the contestants on their knowledge of fish species, their ability to release fish safely back into the water, and their adherence to local fishing regulations.

Overall, Top Hooker was a fun and exciting show for fishing enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys reality competition shows. The challenges were creatively designed, and the contestants were engaging and entertaining to watch. The show's emphasis on conservation and sustainable fishing practices also made it a refreshing addition to the reality TV landscape.

Top Hooker is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (8 episodes). The series first aired on June 2, 2013.
