I gave it a "2".
Comment:
Sea fishing and rock music appeals to non-anglers.
Every boring video I ever saw had rock music dubbed over to cover the deficiencies in viewer interest and "add action".
What's wrong with a quiet contemplative fishing scene where the fish takes and disturbs the silence? That's what most of us regard as exciting. This might entice the non anglers, but are they the target market? If so it does it's job. OTOH If the market is freshwater anglers well this spot probably appeals to the kids sub-market within the freshwater anglers as a whole, and leaves the rest untouched. That's because many anglers go fishing to get away from "action pumping music type society" among other things. Chris Yates's video series "A Passion for Angling" captures the spirit of angling better than andrenalin rocker stuff.
It'll work being a first, but would a different approach work better?
