The deadline to apply was last August, Mike....

But I found a few of the video submissions. (which I would never be able to bring myself to do...shameless self promotion) But here is one that I did choose to watch. We'll have to see if she makes it.

I had 2 interviews and submitted a vid but didn't make the third cut... Like Andy said, I have a face for radio anyhow.. and I'm not sure I would have liked being away from my boys without any contact for a month.

Just curious what you guys thought of the show.

Personally I thought it started a bit slow but the second half picked up. I liked watching the competitive side of the fishing personality's. Im sure a lot of guy's here would be up for that kind of challenge. Hope they come up with some creative saltwater challenges.

Yes John,
Sunday nights on Animal Planet

also on on demand if you have comcast

I thought about the same goose

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'm not watching. After they told me I made the second cut they didn't have the decency to let me know I didn't make it. I just got an email to apply for the second season. $^&^$%@ THEM!

I tried watching it, but it just made me think of "Survivor" or "Fear Factor" or any number of tv shows where the only reality is that IT'S A GAME SHOW!

Sorry, but if I wanted to watch that kind of fishing, I'd have been a Chucky Moore fan and spend my free time dreaming of someday actually catching a real fish.
Instead, I'll stick with real fishing shows that show me how to fish, what the new lures are that are coming out and the latest advances in
fishing line and gear! If I wanted to watch yahoos fishing, I'd hit the canal any day of the week and watch the bucket brigade battle royal.

I am a legend in my own mind!

I'm watching it because you are on the show

and you are still on by the skin of your teeth
that was close

I did not understand why in that team challenge, why didn't you guys try to get a few fish first before going to the basket? was that only allowed if you got a double or triple hookup?
seemed like a waste of time all that paddling for one fish at a time

I am happy you are still watching. Thank you...and yes that was close and very nerve racking for me.

Many anglers may have had the expectation that the show was designed specifically for the angler when in fact the show was designed to appeal to a general audience...Y? Ratings. Advertising. MONEY. Numbers man. Simple as that. AP is a big money making network and reality TV is a huge part of that.
This is not a show you will see on WFN. This is not a show that true anglers should benefit from or learn from. It's sole purpose is to entertain. Epitome of Hollywood. If you look at it in that light it may have more appeal. It may not.
With that said I will say the challenges continue to get better.... More fishing, less BS. I knew that the goldfish challenge would have most angler's saying WTF is this #^&#^&#^&#^&? In fact...thats what I said when they told us we had to do it. But I think that should be part of the appeal, though. Rest assured that no one on this show is a "yahoo". All (with the exception of me) are incredible anglers within their subspecialties. The appeal for the true angler watching Top Hooker should be our reactions and commentary to the crazy #^&#^&#^&#^& Hollywood threw at us. Again just for entertainment.

As far as the team challenge in ep 2, we were not allowed to keep the fish in the boat. When a fish was caught it had to be put in the live well. The live well was placed over prime grounds so we didn't have to stray far. The only way more than one fish could be brought to the live well was if two or more fish were hooked up at the same time. When a fish was hooked, all lines came in so we could row to the live well.


I just want to mention that I do behind the scenes write ups for the animal planet website. This may answer some questions about the challenges. So much is edited out and so much occurs behind the scenes that is just lost. Here is my facebook page that has the write ups, link and photos from behind the scenes. Please "like" for updates.

Cool! thanks for the links! I personally think the show is entertaining and I thought the challenges in last night's episode really did test an angler's skills, so in that sense I think the show is pretty legit!

Sorry to see the cute blond leave though!
