I remember him
I still have that awesome episode of the North river on VHS tape someplace, unless it got wrecked in the flood. Those were some cows during the day on eels
There was also another one where the guy was plug fishin along the north river slammin fish, just walkin the banks crushin nice fish. I remember it cause it was one of the reasons i started huntin big fish

I must have missed that one. Would be nice to get a hold of some of those full episodes
"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"
Yep. I watched that show every week. As soon as I saw the name I thought of the North River footage of him casting the eels. Great Show !
I remember this show as I was very young. It was pretty much the only show I knew of. I remember being AMAZED watching him catch big Bass on eels at night ( from a boat) I'm only 31 so do the math. I would stay up as a kid just to watch this show when the rest of the house was asleep. Awesome thread.
Watched the show years ago. One of the first shows for NE there was on TV. Remember he would always end the show with a "catch and release and God Bless America"
I know that spot in the N River well. There is a couple new McMansions and private docks on that bank now but the fish don't mind.
when I was 7 years old dad took me to the sportsmans show and he was there and said hi to me. I remember he was wearing a cowboy hat.
That was 50 years ago
I remember him too. My dad also used to take me to the sportsman's show.
Ya, Gadabout Gaddis,"The Flying Fisherman" wore a straw cowboy hat.
Times were much simpler then. . . .
I loved that show, too. Mike was a regular, local fisherman as a host. Something we can all relate to. I'm 40 and I still think about that North River striper episode. I lest a positive impression and changed how I fished for stripers.

Thanks Mike!
You're very welcome.
It's amazing how many people remember that episode.
It's also amazing that I didn't get Lyme disease from all the ticks that were feeding on me, even though I was wearing the waders.
It was so hot that day. it was like 85 degrees within a couple of hours after sunrise.
We were actually scheduled to do the shoot at another location, but I changed my mind at the last minute.
I'm glad I did.
