Agree that the whole re-enactment thing was almost funny. Guy is a far better fisherman than he is an actor. The dead fish he was "wrestling" with was about a third of the size of the 48 incher the pics showed him with after the "scene". Too bad a show like that can't have more actually filmed action. Best thing was the underwater shots of bass- Thanx Mike! |

the show is sometimes entertaining. interesting stories anyway.
it definately looks like the production guys have no knowlege or interest in fishing, which is kind of strange. their reenactments are always cheesey and inconsistant. you'd think they'd put alittle more into them. I saw one where the guy was fighting a giant catfish (or should i say "whopper") and they kept showing him with different reels during the fight (spinning, conventional, different brands, mono, braid, etc.). last night, the guy flyfishing for GTs, was wearing sandles at the beginning, barefeet while swimming, and flats booties while wading and landing the fish. stuff like that bugs me.

Another one I picked out too! I laughed when I seen the guy standing on the rock in sandals. Makes the show kinda corny when you see staged stuff like that.

I think they also gear this show to non-fishers. Stuff we're more likely to see and pick apart is not what they are concerned with.
Nice footage Mike

LOL my son and I got a chuckle out of that too. Guy needs his head examined for sure.
