I think it originated back at the turn of the 20th century in Montana where the states lone surf caster would stand for hours casting into what he thought was the ocean?? Reel upside down, running start to the waters edge the whole nine yards.....his name??? Chuck Googan!! Thats where the term "Googan" comes from!! Chuck moved to North Dakota sometime in the 1920's to start up the nations first surfcasting school........................but it was not to be and after 3 weeks he went out of business! It is said that he moved to Rhode Island and took up Buffalo hunting...............Chuck Googan was his name. At least thats how I heard it?
