OTW Fishing New England

[MotoXcowboy]

I've seen that re-run about 5times! Yeah I thought the same thing when they where tossing fish into the rocky/shallow water..I think they didnt have waders or something, and didnt wanna get their feet wet! The whole time im thinking wtf, why is being showed on OTW?

Atleast the guy who gets the big one towards the end released his properly..

[tper]

Did anyone tape the show on stripers at Cutty? I would really like to get a copy of it -- Please PM me if you can make a copy - I will pay shipping and for the CD or VHS -- thanks

I was thinking the same thing, the water they were throwing them into looked really shallow, and you're right most of them had jeans on, not waders. My wife was watching it with me (she knows very little about fishing) and she saw that and said "doesn't that hurt the fish!!"
Even so, one of the things I like about the OTW show is that they sometimes recognize that not everybody fishes from a boat....

I would like to see that episode ... but as for television fishiing shows abusing fish or not fishing properly, it drives me crazy. Even Mark Sosin when he had a saltwater show on ESPN, he'd keep the fish out of the water way too long in my opinion ...

... as this sets the tone for many newbie fishermen who may not give much thought to proper handling of fish and proper c-n-r techniques ...

... I will say that George Poveromo is always on target with his shows, he does an excellent job, as does Jose Wejebe.

... but if we want it done properly, we need to do our own show
