After nine seasons, River Monsters was respectfully retired. This wasn't due to the fact that Wade and his crew were tired of filming and educating but rather was due to a lack of fish to catch. Interestingly enough, Wade had been able to catch every single fish that was on his bucket list throughout the entirety of the show. When they had moved onto folklore and legend, everyone knew that the end was in sight. This made for an incredibly successful run as well as a tremendous educational value on the end of the faithful viewers.
