Whoa whoa whoa, JW is a legend!!! IMO he is one of the best anglers out there. I love his shows. No advertising, no trying to sell products, etc. He has caught some true giant monsters on hand held rod and reel. Hours and days on end in the water catching and waiting to catch. Ripped out treble hooks from under his thumb nail, survived plane crash, heart bruised from a tarpon, countless injuries from fighting hand verses fin with huge fish. Yeah, he's legit.
