There is a new tackle shop in N. Falmouth formerly known as “Mad fish Outfitters”.

They were threatened with legal action because the shops name was too close to Charlie Moores lame tv show called “the mad fisherman”. So rather than spend $$$ to fight Mr. Moores attorney they simply changed their name.

From what I have read in my local paper the afore mentioned alleged TV fisherman could not be reached by the shop owners to talk this over. They, like I and the editorial staff of the paper are in agreement the name is not that close and they probably would have won in court but as a fledgling shop I understand why they chose not to pursue.

Shame on Moore.

Just one more reason to boycott that crappy show.

I'm not surprised, he seems like he thinks he's a big deal....He's not and I personally think his show is less than enjoyable.

Charlie Moore is a joke. He can't catch fish to save his life and makes him self out to be an idiot on TV. I met the owner of mad fish over the summer and he seemed like a really good guy who knew his stuff. Charlie moore makes me puke, he'd sell his kid if he got enough money

Just shows his true colors. He is an embarresment to the sport of fishing.

he's a dink

There is a restaurant in Scituate called the Mad Fish? Wonder if he sued them? What a tool!

:bshake::jester:

The mention of his name just made me throw up in my mouth

I was flipping through the channels on a weekend looking for some fishing shows to watch, and I briefly paused on his show (which i know sucks but I was jonesing for some tv fishing). It only took about 10 seconds before my wife says, "What the hell is wrong with this guy!" A friend of a friend actually went to high school with him and apparently he hasn't changed. This brings to light another thing that bothers me, a serious lack of decent fishing show. On the Water does an okay job but how many times can I watch them fish Nomans with eels? My buddy and I always joke about starting our own fishing show, but likewise, how many times do people want to see the "Sporadically Beating up on Schoolies" episode? All I know is that something needs to be done because football season is almost over and I need some quality fishing programming to fill the niche.:think:

Told by a friend who lives close to Charlie Moore up in New Hampshire,
Charlie's not exactly the greatest guy at home!
Treats the wife and kids like %$%$%$%$!

My guess is that they would have won a legal battle. Not that I'm an expert here, but considering how many other fishing businesses use a similar name, and how they are not in competition I just can't see it...

-spence

douche bag.

Once a wanker

Always a wanker

But if he's got it copyrighted he's perfectly within his rights to protect his rights...

And if the shop was called Charlie's Mad Fisherman he'd have every right. But just because someone CAN copyright a name or something doesn't make it right. It's just weak. It was pretty lame when the Planet Hollywood was suing anyone with Planet something in their name. Weak.

Got a link - that's worthy of the front page ;)

what a pussy :crying:.........Charlie Moore-on :yak:

This is absolutely MAD I tell you!:shocked: Kevin at $@#% Fish Outfitters is a good guy. I hope he does well with whatever new name he picks. How about Disturbed Fish Outfitters, ....um Very Upset Fish Outfitters,... PO'd Fish Outfitters? :smokin:

It is now called Bad Fish Outfitters.

I dont think they are online I did look. I do however have the paper if you want AND I believe they are printed in close quarters with a monthly fishing rag that was given some support by Harpoon. I wonder what if any stance they will take.

How about..."I like to toss my catch 6 feet in the air after I have had it out of the water for 20 minutes to release it Outfitters"?:jester:

I looked it up
they have a site but when I googled mad fish outfitters, their site came up Bad Fish Outfitters, which I think really sucks for them.
I would not have changed it.

He absolutely sux.I'd prefer to watch geriatric womens golf or tennis,than to sit in front of the tv pulling out my own hair watching this f-tard.His show makes my eyes bleed.I'd like to spend some time with his wife,though.

Who's Charlie Moore and what does his wife look like?

Who's Charlie Moore and what does his wife look like?

He's a Bahston Humjawb,with a wife who's hot,and probably wishing she hadn't signed a pre-nup.

i had a friend from NH that knows him.... he cant stand to be in a room with him for more than 5min he just drives him crazy

I drive by that place everyday but have never been in there, is it any good?

Are they somehow related to the Goose Hummock Shop?

CMoore is the poorest excuse for a fisherman I've ever seen.
If there was ever a time slot that needed improvement, or a niche that could do with one less assclown, then it would be the time slots that this tool is allowed to pollute our airwaves in.

Somebody with NESN seems to think he's funny. Prolly never feehsed a day in their pencil-pushing, numbers-crunching, pathetic, corporate life!!! I'd out-fish that BEETCH from the shores of our city ressies, and he can have a boat, a crew, and all of the teeny fish he wants ~~~while i'll land some reel monstahs and carefully release them to live to fight another day. What a maroon!!!!

The worst is how he almost jumps out of the boat when he hooks into an avg smallie or largie. And his wife is STELLAR, prolly very high maintenance and the only TROPHY he'll ever catch! :usd: :usd:?

Look out. He is getting his own sitcom on one of the networks. Think Home Improvement but with a guy who has his own fishing show instead.

That last statement was unnescesary, even for the likes of Charlie Moore. When I think it has gone over the line you know it's bad but that was really bad. Leave the man's wife out of it.

the best thing to do

is to see him as a blank piece of paper




and well spoken Flap

I could easily join in the Charlie-bashing and while I agree his show is a real joke that few real fishermen waste their time watching- I must ask- Who here would not like to have that gig? The guy gets to fish and entertain for a living and often ith local sports celebs. I think I am more envious than anything else...

:hidin:

His NESN contract is for $600,000 a year.....

His NESN contract is for $600,000 a year.....

wow, someone must like him......... maybe the rednecks? :hidin:

He comes across like an A1 arse, and the show does suck - it's ALL about him and not fishing or the sport of fishing.

BUT, reality TV is the gig - how many reality show's are really any "good"? Millions of people want to watch shows like the Mad Fisherman, so advertisers will pay the $$$$$, and he will get the $$$$. ( but, as said above, it is one of those where you might wish it was you!!!)

My kids enjoy watching him. They think he's crazy.

He needs to stop making shows of him just reeling in fish and talking like he injected a gallon of espresso like Clemens with B-12. He offers little advice about equipment, how to use it and where. Just him y#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it up with Lenny Clarke, or towing Mitt Romney on skis.

I wish I were as successful as him though. What a gig! I don't think I could fish with him for any length of time before wanting to throw him over board though.

he and rich johnson should do a show together. :hihi: :buds:

luds 48 said it in his post.his show is terrible.

If you look at him from the perspective of a sportsman, he's annoying as hell. But if look at him from the perspective of "let's make a successful fishing show," the guy's brilliant.

I didn't know he was still on television. I wish I could get paid half of what he does for being a "professional goof". I'm not as good as he is at it, but I could practice acting like an idiot and get better if the money was right.

He's the typical guy you'd see hanging out in a Somerville Sports Bar.....They're pretty annoying too. :hihi:

Who's Charlie Moore and what does his wife look like?

Absolutely. I wish I could do what he does and get paid 600k for it. Do I detect a little jealousy here?

It's entertainment people. If you want to see some really bad outdoors programing watch the Sportsman's Channel. Some of those programs are atrocious.

I would rather watch Mr. Moore than "Crappie Masters".

It sucks about Mad Fish b ut itsn't that his production companies name?

It's business, nothing personal. Kinda like the Mafia whacking someone.

He sucks but he is entertaining to a lot of people.

Charlie Moore is one guy that can turn a person OFF of fishing!!!!

How about..."I like to toss my catch 6 feet in the air after I have had it out of the water for 20 minutes to release it Outfitters"?


Now THAT's funny :rotf2:

if you were to pay me 600 large a year to make a show about catching 2 lb. fish. i'll take it. the man came up with a idea and is making it pay off for him big time. i'm jealous

Is she the one on the left or the right?

:whackin: :nopain: It's not bad enough that the rest of the country hates us 'cause our teams are so good but we also have a regional guy who gives them a legitimate reason to despise us for being the home of the most obnoxius, self absorbed, untalented a$$hole on earth and the biggest obsenity in the whole fishing community:hang:

He bought the wife some bolt-on accessories though:jump:

I always miss the juicy stuff. And if you don't like the racy stuff it was Charlie Moore who hooked and yanked off his wife's bikini top in thier pool, during a commercial for the show. He is a putz, but he is a clever putz.

Luds48 concluded:
He is an embarresment to the sport of fishing.

Luds:
You are correct. Best just to ignore the guy.

He also has a show on ESPN2. Where a regular "amatuer" fisherman challenges him. So figure in that salary too. Guy is making some bank. He's annoying but I bet his bank account isn't.

His NESN contract is for $600,000 a year.....

I was at a restaurant that Charlie Moore was dining in a couple of years ago. The manager comped the meal for him and his guests and then he left without leaving a tip for the server. A perfect example of his character. F Charlie Moore!:fishslap:

He's the type of guy you just want to punch in the face.....Hate Charlie Moore and his show is lame....

can't believe someone is paying him $600,000 for that rubbish.alot of us here could do a better job for less $$$$$$$$.

He is probably one of the most obnoxious individuals I have ever had the misfortune of being exposed to. I plan to continue ignoring his show as I have been doing from day one and hopefully his viewers will come to their senses.

he and rich johnson should do a show together. :hihi: :buds:

There isn't a boat this side of the QE 2 that's big enough :hihi:

Charlie has to be the luckiest bastard alive!
He got to fish for stripers with Bobby Orr !

I dont watch him for all the above reasons, but did anyone see the show he did on sawdy pond last year? I saw his buggy on my way home from work one day.

Why not bombard his website with emails and let him know how you feel about the whole thing...:angel:

I'd like to spend some time with his wife,though.

Can anyone here substantiate the original post in this thread?I sure as hell can't.

What paper printed the article?The paper has not been mentioned so far.No mention of it on his site.No mention of this anywhere on Earth but right here.

The guy might be an annoying %$%$%$%$%$%$%$ but all I see here is bunch of unsubstantiated crap so far.Prove me wrong and I'll jump on this wagon like a "new" Pats fan.

his wife is hot! that was a good laugh bob! she's only there for the money.... !

Watched his show once and it was bad.I beleive he was golfing with Cam Neely and fishing in the golf course ponds for some bass.I enjoy fishing and watching fishing shows .This guy is someone I would never associate with.If he came up to me to talk I would most likely ignore him and walk away.Guy sucks!Show sucks!I will never watch it again and I would have never changed the name of the shop unless it was $ettled outside of court.I would flip the channel even if he was in the bay catching big bass.1 guy said it right in here "he's the kind of guy you just want to punch in the face".Maybe even twice.

I like Charlie Moore's show. I guess I am the minority. Funny bastard. I certainly don't watch that show to see fishing during the offseason, Versus has that covered. Prefer seeing the old Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics players give interviews and talk about their time in Boston. Look forward to visiting the new shop this season. In the end the shop will drag in customers from good service and product, not a name. But I must admit it's a great name, because New England is Mad fishing...look at some of the threads here in the last week!

It baffles me at times how anglers can have success and other anglers find reasons to dislike em and then dip into personal life stuff......Hang em high from the gallows! lol

I walk away from anything and anyone that threatens my peace and joy on the water, hey I already did that. It's all about the fish for me, period. That's why I'm happy! lol

I saw it on three other locations when digging in a bit.

I put him and George Bush in the same catagory for 2 reasons:

1. They BOTH suck

2 . Look at all the money they're making off of us.

Sorry someone had to drag GW in on this ... :rotflmao:

My brother enjoys his show.Since I found this out I've disinherited him. Says something about his knowledge of the sport. He ended up on a flight back from Florida with him and was totally blown off when he approached him. May have offended his only fan. Some people think they have a monopoly on the language i.e. Spike Lee vs. the Spike network. A little common sense would be nice. Moore Fish Outfitters?

As we all know, fishing can be boring!!!
He brings entertainment to the show!!!

why dosen't he sue the MBTA the ''charlie pass'' hens the name charlie,take that one to your lawyers and tell them that!!!!!!:smash:

douche bag.

hit the nail on the head

I was at a restaurant that Charlie Moore was dining in a couple of years ago. The manager comped the meal for him and his guests and then he left without leaving a tip for the server. A perfect example of his character. F Charlie Moore!:fishslap:

He gets comped and you had to pay. I wouldn't eat at that restaurant anymore for sure.

If you see him at the fishing shows, he really doesn't talk to anyone. He just goofs around with his cronies.
From his perspective, we are all just jealous.
The name of the shop should be " Bet you a quarter My Bait is bigger than Charlie's_____ ."

at first I thought his show was funny, but then it got kind of annoying after a while, I guess he's okay in small doses, like 5 minutes, but that's enough because his show is all commercials anyway, and he is in every single one of them!! gotta admit, the guy has a good racket going. He's laughing all the way to the bank!

I hope the band "Sublime" doesn't sue "Bad Fish Outfitters"

"Bad fish" is a song of theirs, the lead singer/writer is dead so it prob doens't matter anyway!

I want to see them put somebody on the show that has the same type of personality. Where they battle for the spotlight. Then fight to the death.

I say replace CM with "Flava Flave" (Noone will notice difference) and put CM onboard the Cornelia Marie next crab season on "The Deadliest Catch". Then we'll see how long he stay out of a pot.

I want to see them put somebody on the show that has the same type of personality. Where they battle for the spotlight. Then fight to the death.

its been done.. kevin millar was on there.. but they went duck hunting. i gotta say i did get a good chuckle out of that episode. something about those two popping up from a blind and firing off every shot in the guns in about three seconds was amusing. that and watching charlie try to field baseballs. let's just say he fielded like... like every kid that grows up with dreams of being in nsync.

gotta say that episode wasn't as amusing the second time.

I never watch this clowns show. Not once has anyone said to me "Did you see Charlie Moore's show the other day?" Get rid of him.

Get the DVR ready, he's on in 10 minutes...

Friggin tool bag.... he only got the show because hid father in law is loaded....

but he was on with Bobby Orr!!!!

I often wonder why some of guests actually agree to be his "guest". I couldn't do it. I don't enjoy his type of satire, don't like listening and definitely couldn't participate in it if invited

Portrays himself as a moron, a rich moron :wall:

I think he is the Steve Martin of fishing shows, after 5 min you want to puke but I have to admit, I have watched a few of his shows and one that I did see, was the one he did with the Space Man, Bill Lee was soo funny, I could watch that show every week.

:deadhorse:This horse has been beaten to death :deadhorse:Many times let it go:deadhorse:

I don't know if this is true or not but I was told that his Mother In law owns Aubuchon Hardware which sponsors the show. I have always thought that there had to be some credibility to that story, otherwise there is no way I could think of for the show to last this long.

If that is not true then I would have to question what makes the people tick who keep him on the air.

I went back through the posts and saw yj1990's post and I guess he confirms at least in my mind anyway the family connection to the show.

(Sorry Gene Barry)

Why don't all you idiots get your own show? Dogging a guy for having fun catching small fish is just telling me that some are very jealous. Just send your letter to the network on how you are a REAL fisherman that is 100% SERIOUS 100% of the time and only catch BIG fish. It's a no brainer.

I am not a huge fan of the show but people are. As long as he has an audience he will get paid to fish! He lives a dream many of us have how he got there or how he does it works for a large enough fan base that he remains on the air oh well good for him. Not everyone can be Larry dahlberg.

Tight lines.

I believe after sports, it's the #1 show on NESN. The last figure I heard was 6 mil a season.
One has to consider that other fishing hosts have zero personality. He has a personality, and it fits, because it's an obnoxious one. Who is Charlie Moore? He's the personification of every loud mouth, sports-obsessed, ex-high school jock, Massolio, that bumps into you in a sports bar in Scituate and puts on a bad-ass act over the non-event.
There are plenty of middle aged fat Irish bastids that identify with him, they'll be tailgating you on the Mass Pike and 128 Monday morning and spouting off by the water cooler about how great the Sawx were when they were mostly white guys.

I always thought the (self proclaimed) internet hero on the Charlie Moore joint would be a great episode. Never quite sure how it might have ended though, but figured it would be highly entertaining none the less.

Exactly how much "sports" does NESN actually show nowadays????
I mean, after all the infomercials and sports TALK shows, what's left?

Besides Charlie Moron's show, what other fishing shows are there, or "outdoors" shows for that matter?

It makes me wonder that maybe the Mad Fish powers may have forced NESN to get rid of any competition to corner the market.

I get to see more fishing action on CSN abd ESPN than NESN.

Maybe NESN is hooking their wagon to the Charlie Moore popularity train and hope to ride it to the top.
Top of what, I couldn't say, nor would I want to waste my time even trying.

My favorite Mooron episode was when he "tried" cod fishing, and while holding the rod UPSIDE DOWN, lost the rod and reel because he was holding it like he was holding a limp willy.

Give me Larry Dahlberg (or even Larry Szonka for that matter) and I'll enjoy some real fishing.

The way I see it allot better shows are off the air.
I don't know what keeps this show going other than the possibility that the hate mail to the TV station may be the thing that keeps him alive.
They think that if folks are talking about him it sells products.
Notice when he fishes alone he catches things that our kids don't want to keep. He has no personal fishing skills! He is a charter boat Captains worst customer. I know real deals that would refuse to take him on a charter.The other thing is from the beginning of his early shows to this day HE STILL DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO HOLD A FISHING ROD AND HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIGHT A FISH.
HE IS NO JOSE WEJEBE / ROLAND MARTIN!!!!
He is the classic person who tells you about the one that got away!!!
God lord just kill me!:smash:
