Fishpart, I am not that photogenic, but maybe if I get a hair transplant, loose 50# and nose job I'd have a shot?!?

Can you imagine have a job like that guy who takes them to these places?....:smash: I can't believe I didn't seek something like this out when I was single!

CM is the worst fishing show in history. Its only Jan and I am fed up with FW bass fishing. I find him very annoying. I am sure he knows how to fish but his voice it obnoxious.
I can only watch SW shows now or peacock bass fishing in the amazon...that is it.

My favorite is offshore adventures at the moment but I have not seen hotlines yet...I think it is a spinoff from fishon!...remember that?

Looks like the same logo from Fish On too...

Its funny how you see women often on fishing shows and magazine covers, but rarely when you're fishing....

Its pretty clear that TV execs view the fishing public on par with the WWF audiance.

Then again , I should'nt talk. Heck, I watch Baywatch re-runs with the sound off.

hmmmmmm.......Im thinking we should all email that show and tell them how they need to do say a MV Derby episode, or something in New England....

Charlie Moore is aggravating, for me its more his overall manner than the actual sound of his voice, he's always so hyped up, cant imagine sharing a beach with him in the Am's on a nice summers night. He has managed to get himself one great job I admit.

good call about Fishon Joe and Sand, a google search turned this up right away:
'Fish On' creators angling for $10M from ESPN
The creators of the short-lived fishing show "Fish On" have hit ESPN with a $10 million lawsuit, claiming that the network canceled their program after one season only to introduce a suspiciously similar one shortly afterward. Scott Gurney, Deirdre Delaney and Flying Mallard Productions are alleging breach of contract and copyright infringement in the suit, filed Friday in a Los Angeles federal court. They claim that ESPN went back on its agreement to credit them as producers in creators of "Fish On." After dropping the series, which aired on ESPN2, the network launched a new fishing program called "Totally Hooked." The new show incorporated several elements intended to make viewers see it as a continuation of "Fish On," according to the suit. The complaint also includes allegations of unfair competition, unfair business practices and interference with contractual relations.

I've seen photos of your boat. You've got a shot. We won't be looking at you anyway. ;)

If you read the bio's, it seems that Deirdre was the brains behind FishOn.

Sandman, in certain situations you could be considered virtually invisible...
