Just curious, what everyone's favorite fishing show? BassPro sucks now
since ESPN took over, Bill Dance only fishes where he KNOWS he's going to
catch, mostly little ponds that are heavily stocked, Hank Parker, he lost
his edge I think, it just isn't as interesting now, unless you like fishing
for Brim or Crappies, and Rollin Martin, to commercialized I think, he tries
to push to much stuff as he fishes, (Speaking of biting on frogs, here's the
Fancy Frog Rain Gear!) it's annoying. Plus, wasn't it Rollin Martin that
got busted for the Illegal fenced deer hunt?

About the only one lately that I've found that's decent or half way, is
In-Fisherman.... I don't mind them fishing for stuff other than bass, but
give me something I can relate to, in my country at least!

So what have you all been watching during the hard water season? I"m about
to take up watching Bull Riding here if it doesn't get better soon! ;)

Doug

P.S.
I did just watch a show called BassEdge, it has potential.... We'll see how
that one goes in the next couple of episodes! *Tivo Click*

Doug,
You're right. Most of the fishing shows aren't like they used to
be. But, that's understandable since most of the hosts are either 60
or pushing it hard. They just don't have the energy they had when
they first came on. I have a Bass Pro Shop not too far away in
Jackson MS. I caught some of the Outdoor World Video Library Series
of DVD's on sale and have been watching them. Kevin Van Dam has a 3
DVD set on Pitchin', strategies for changing conditions and
spinnerbait techniques that is pretty good. I also just bought one on
Locating Spring Season Bass with Larry Nixon. Hopefully, it will
help me this spring on my new fishing home spot, the Tombigbee
Waterway in Northeastern Mississippi and Northwest Alabama.

I'm going to the Bassmasters Classic hopefully on Saturday. Plan on
spending all day at the expo and watch the weigh-ins on Saturday and
Sunday. I've never been to one, so that should be fun. Will let you
know what I think about it when I get back.

I don't watch much fishing on TV anymore, maybe I've lost interest after all
these years.

I don't know about Roland's hunting activities, but Jimmy Houston was
involved in an incident similar to the one you mentioned.

Any show where guys catch fish is good for me. BUT, Al Lindner is the man.
I also like The Next Bite. I keep going back to Al.

Oh yeah, Al rocks, no doubt about it! His brother, the little skinny guy,
he's pretty good too, but he's mostly muskie it seems, which is okay still.
Those things are HUGE! I remember back in the day when almost all the shows
were quality, but as another poster said, most of those guys are getting
older now, and when they did their shows, they were still competing, or had
just gotten out of it.
I did just watch another episode of BassEdge, and it's not the caliber of
In-Fishermen, but it's good too if you have that in your programming in your
neck of the woods!

Hopefully, I'll be able to get out and get some hands on here pretty soon!
It is getting warmer here, but will be a few weeks yet I'm afraid... :(

John W (a.k.a Tibbeecreekfish), yes, please do let me know how it goes at
the Classic, and how things went for you! Have a safe and fun trip more
importantly!

**I did misspell Roland before, I stand corrected too btw... I have no idea
what I was thinking?**

Anyway, tight lines everyone!

Al's brother is Ron, and he ain't a little skinny guy.

The skinny guy that's all about musky is Al's nephew, one of Ron's sons,
Jimmy Lindner. Bill and Dan are also Ron's sons. I believe Dan is full
time with the show, but mostly behind the camera. Bill is on frequently,
but runs his own photography house. Troy is Al's son, and appears
occasionally, but lives in CA, and doesn't work full time on the TV
show. (He is fishing the FLW tour in the west though)

All of them, along with Sura and Csanda are now on Lindner's Angling
Edge. For my money, they feature the BEST video and especially
underwater footage of any of the current crop of Fresh Water fishing shows.

I really like that show where they take the bikini models out to sea. It
gets interesting when they start reeling with enthusiasm.

Awesome Rich... I learnt something this morning! I never really paid that
much attention to who exactly as much as what they were doing. I know Al of
course, without a doubt and his dad, and just for some reason, I had it
locked in my head the little guy was his brother, I stand corrected. Thanks
for the info, now I know.

That would be awesome get paid for doing what they do so well!
