coryn h. fishowl Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Mark Zona is an alumni of my high school. I juast found out one of our security guards is an angler who has fished with him occasionally. HHHMMMM... I woder if I could get a chance to meet a celebrity. BTW I know this is not a very productive discussion, but according to my girlfriend spending hours by the water with a stick in my hand has never been productive. 1 Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 One of my favorites, would love to fish with him for a day. Quote
TRYTOFISH Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Got a chance to spend a couple of hours with him 2 or3 years ago at downstream casino in Oklahoma. they were having a tournament called fish and chips I think where they fished one day on grand lake and played a poker tournament the next. I had no idea it was going on and I was sitting at the bar and he and skeet reece cam and sat down next to me. I introduced myself to him and told him I liked his show. they sat there and talked and included me in there conversations as if we had been friends for along time. kinda neat experience. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 Love his show. Would love a chance to fish with him. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 He's a smallmouth animal. I'd fish with him. Quote
mnbassman23 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I'm a fan of his show and would gladly spend a day in the boat with him. Some people don't like his personality, similar to Ike, but I do. I can be the same way at times so I can relate. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 He is one of the few guys who's schtick actually seems genuine and funny to me, not to mention the dude can lay the wood to the fish. So I like him. I also like how his shows will show you if things sucked and the train came off the track. 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 Big fan of his show. great energy. Quote
Trailer Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 From what I see on TV I like him. But then again, I like Ike and Ted Nugent... 1 Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 I dig his show. I agree that his persona seems genuine. If you are like that, be like that all the time. 1 Quote
GoneFishi'n Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I dig his show. I agree that his persona seems genuine. If you are like that, be like that all the time.x2 Quote
TrapperJ Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Agree Zona is the man, I crack up watching his show. My wife gets a kick out of him too. I know hes not for everyone but its good to have someone different out there doing what we all love here. Him and people like Mike Ike love them or hate them they have done good things for our sport.

Traveler2586 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 IMHO, I'll have to go the other way on this one; I really can't get into his show or his persona, so I'd put him on a boat with M.I. and send them off to fish the other end of the lake out of ear shot. As for M.I. as a good rep for the sport? I think not... IMHO Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Zona is a goof ball. He doesn't take him self seriously and laughs at himself as much as anyone. That I like. I watched his show when he took his boys out. I like what I saw as he was a dad. The man knows his smallmouth and gets as excited as anyone when he gets something going and catches them. How can you not appreciate that. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 My 2 favorite moments of all time ... Randy Moss = "I'm going to sign this fish ..." and the Strike King Sexy Dead Carp Head Makes me cry/laughing everytime I think of it. 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 The Randy Moss episode was full of one liners. That was a good one. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted March 20, 2013 Super User Posted March 20, 2013 I'd fish with him and Ike in the same boat it would be a blast Quote
CoBass Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I like Zona's show. It's one of the few shows that doesn't turn into a 30 minute infomercial for the bait of the day. He tells you what he is using but doesn't ram it down your throat like some other fishing shows. 3 Quote
shootermcbob Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I just like the fact that he just enjoys what he is doing...whether he is fishing, hosting his show, or hosting the bassmasters show. He just has fun, and I think that is great. I tend to be more serious, and wish oftentimes I was more "outgoing" and able to just have fun with different scenarios. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I dont like him but as for my son HMMMM you tell me LOL Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 and I dont like Elwood--Again my son??ask him Quote
Jell0b0y Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I would fish with Zona any day. I bet he would be a blast to fish with. Quote
MrPeanut Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I like some of his antics, adds some flavor to the show instead of being an infomercial for x product. Another vote too for the episode with Randy Moss lol Quote
Traveler2586 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 What shows & channels is he on other than Bassmasters? Maybe I haven't seen him at his best. But on Bassmasters, I just loose interest and start looking at my watch. 1 Quote
