G.L.O.W. was always my grandfather's favorite....  |

Quite a few WWWF guys were locals.
Walter "Killer" Kowalski came from north of Boston (maybe Reading?) and was a seasonal camper at Bourne Scenic Park, and a sometimes Canal fisherman.
Professor Turo Tanaka used to own a bar called T-San's in Fall River, which I believe is now called the Depot.
Chief Jay Strongbow was from Providence, legend had it. He had a brother there who owned a business and had pictures of Strongbow all over the walls. |

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

I just watched that whole video and it brought me back to being a kid watching and reinacting the bouts with my Dad. Something about wrestling these days i can't watch one second of it but i could watch the old ones forever. The Gorilla's commentary was flawless and not over the top, it makes you think it's real. He was great. RIP Capt Lou.

Even see an Indian with a bald spot before? 
We used to call him Chief Jay Stromboli |
