The Toad seemed like a cool dude though.

I missed the first 10 minutes so I missed the Toad.

I watched the next show which was Bone fishing with Tom Brokaw, the late great Lefty Kreh, Yvon Chouinard, (the owner of Patagonia), Michael Keaton the actor and some author. Very Very rich guy fly fishing stuff but absolutely beautiful photography and really classy. I understand bonefishing is a huge industry.

What a contrast to that guy how did not even know how to cast in Hilton Head. Lefty could cast.

They had to know what they were in store for, Ed. It didn't look like they stayed more than a day shooting that. I was kinda bummed that it ended up being about 10 minutes of Montauk.

Saw the show. Doesn't matter what he caught in Montauk or not. It's Montauk and if you've ever been there you know how it is.

Liked the show

I've never met that "Toad" guy but I really thought his love of fishing and his fanaticism came out and it was genuine. I also like that when the host made some comment about how great he(the toad) was that he basically said whatever. That's refreshing in the striped bass fishing scene when it comes to guys that get on TV or get other publicity. I saw more true love of fishing than ego. I also thought that it was great that they showed the host and the toad get beat up pretty good for a small bass and a bluefish. There are plenty of days like that that come along with the few really good days/nights for me. Pretty good use of 10 minutes if you ask me.

The main thing I took away was that I need a multicolored Van Staal. I'm not talking about just switching out a handle an/or spool. Those things had black bodies with gold side plates etc. Very fashionable IMO
