Charlie Moore

[Jackbass]

I am not a huge fan of the show but people are. As long as he has an audience he will get paid to fish! He lives a dream many of us have how he got there or how he does it works for a large enough fan base that he remains on the air oh well good for him. Not everyone can be Larry dahlberg.

You bet. Dave you put the "po" in Lyposuction. If for that only you should be emulated, or is that emasculated, or elevated to an exhalted position amongst the plug making lords!

Tight lines.

I believe after sports, it's the #1 show on NESN. The last figure I heard was 6 mil a season.
One has to consider that other fishing hosts have zero personality. He has a personality, and it fits, because it's an obnoxious one. Who is Charlie Moore? He's the personification of every loud mouth, sports-obsessed, ex-high school jock, Massolio, that bumps into you in a sports bar in Scituate and puts on a bad-ass act over the non-event.
There are plenty of middle aged fat Irish bastids that identify with him, they'll be tailgating you on the Mass Pike and 128 Monday morning and spouting off by the water cooler about how great the Sawx were when they were mostly white guys.

I was going to close the thread to stop giving the guy attention until this post - too funny.

I always thought the (self proclaimed) internet hero on the Charlie Moore joint would be a great episode. Never quite sure how it might have ended though, but figured it would be highly entertaining none the less.

Exactly how much "sports" does NESN actually show nowadays????
I mean, after all the infomercials and sports TALK shows, what's left?

Besides Charlie Moron's show, what other fishing shows are there, or "outdoors" shows for that matter?

It makes me wonder that maybe the Mad Fish powers may have forced NESN to get rid of any competition to corner the market.

I get to see more fishing action on CSN abd ESPN than NESN.

Maybe NESN is hooking their wagon to the Charlie Moore popularity train and hope to ride it to the top.
Top of what, I couldn't say, nor would I want to waste my time even trying.

My favorite Mooron episode was when he "tried" cod fishing, and while holding the rod UPSIDE DOWN, lost the rod and reel because he was holding it like he was holding a limp willy.

Give me Larry Dahlberg (or even Larry Szonka for that matter) and I'll enjoy some real fishing.

[LINESIDES]

The way I see it allot better shows are off the air.
I don't know what keeps this show going other than the possibility that the hate mail to the TV station may be the thing that keeps him alive.
They think that if folks are talking about him it sells products.
Notice when he fishes alone he catches things that our kids don't want to keep. He has no personal fishing skills! He is a charter boat Captains worst customer. I know real deals that would refuse to take him on a charter.The other thing is from the beginning of his early shows to this day HE STILL DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO HOLD A FISHING ROD AND HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIGHT A FISH.
HE IS NO JOSE WEJEBE / ROLAND MARTIN!!!!
He is the classic person who tells you about the one that got away!!!
God lord just kill me!

I remember when Pumpsie Green played for the Sawx.

But if he's got it copyrighted he's perfectly within his rights to protect his rights...

And if the shop was called Charlie's Mad Fisherman he'd have every right. But just because someone CAN copyright a name or something doesn't make it right. It's just weak. It was pretty lame when the Planet Hollywood was suing anyone with Planet something in their name. Weak.

Shame on Moore.

Got a link - that's worthy of the front page

[Slingah]

what a pussy .........Charlie Moore-on

[Pt.JudeJoe]

This is absolutely MAD I tell you! Kevin at $@#% Fish Outfitters is a good guy. I hope he does well with whatever new name he picks. How about Disturbed Fish Outfitters, ....um Very Upset Fish Outfitters,... PO'd Fish Outfitters?

[keeperreaper]

It is now called Bad Fish Outfitters.

I dont think they are online I did look. I do however have the paper if you want AND I believe they are printed in close quarters with a monthly fishing rag that was given some support by Harpoon. I wonder what if any stance they will take.

[BigFish]

How about..."I like to toss my catch 6 feet in the air after I have had it out of the water for 20 minutes to release it Outfitters"?

[Slipknot]

I looked it up
they have a site but when I googled mad fish outfitters, their site came up Bad Fish Outfitters, which I think really sucks for them.
I would not have changed it.

If you look at him from the perspective of a sportsman, he's annoying as hell. But if look at him from the perspective of "let's make a successful fishing show," the guy's brilliant.

Absolutely. I wish I could do what he does and get paid 600k for it. Do I detect a little jealousy here?

It's entertainment people. If you want to see some really bad outdoors programing watch the Sportsman's Channel. Some of those programs are atrocious.

I would rather watch Mr. Moore than "Crappie Masters".

It sucks about Mad Fish b ut itsn't that his production companies name?

It's business, nothing personal. Kinda like the Mafia whacking someone.

He sucks but he is entertaining to a lot of people.
