Other than Jaws and instructional videos or documentaries are there any good movies that having fishing in the plot? Oh yea, the Perfect Storm, great movie! Any others?
"The Old Man and the Sea", Spencer Tracy. He was great in "Captains Couragous", too.

Perfect Storm was the first on my mind since I watch it pretty much every time it's on - I can do the dialogue in perfect synch now
Captains Courageous with Spencer Tracy is a great one I haven't seen in years - keep hoping to catch it on TCM - the only movie I can think of with a Portuguese leading man...I don't know if anyone has ever made a film about Prince Henry the Navigator or not
That might be a good project to develop
"Hey, bahhhddy, where the hella you goin' - you lost, godthamma, we got troublesh ovah heah..."
.........
Geez, might not qualify as a fishing movie - I don't know if Price Henry fished or not...
Nah, must have - he was a Portugaluppa for chrissakes...
"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.
