jack1 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I've been watching the fishing shows today and I guess it must be because I've seen these show one too many times that I've began picking things out in particular shows that are annoyingto me, of course. So, here's my rant on the following shows Fishing University I am no fashion icon, but d**n those Diamond Gusset Jeans are ugly. The poor guest get's put on the spot when asked about the jean he's wearing. Oh they are great and very comfortable yeahuh-huhwhat's he suppose to say? Fishing With Roland Martin every five minutes, he'll be trying to sell you somethingOh SON! Quest For The One I understand that the point of the show is to catch the one, but damnthe guys on the show sounds like a badly scratched CDrepeating the one over and over. OkayI get it alreadyit's THE ONE! Bill Dance Outdoors Fishing the same type of lakes & 98% of the bass he catches looks just like the one he just released. Strike King Pro Team Journal fishing info is okay, but it's more like go out and buy our hot lure. City Limits I haven't seen any new shows, so it's getting boring watching the same shows, so I just turn the channel now. Larry Dahlberg's The Hunt For Big Fish seems very bland. One More Cast With Shaw Grigsby I have never seen anybody get more excited than Shaw when a fish is hookedwell okay, next to Ike of course. Fish TV their musiceh! Some may agree with me, others not so much, but damnI just need to get out of the house! Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 7, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted March 7, 2009 Seems these days it's just too darn easy to pick out what we don't like. So... what do you like about them? Quote
Other. Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 City Limits - Mike Ike is a great fisherman, but he can be annoying some times. It's fun watching someone have fun fishing but when he yells at the top of his lungs screaming for 5 minutes straight is an overkill... gets annoying after a while. Quote
seyone Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I agree with a lot of what your saying. The most annoying thing for me is how these shows are just big comercials. I do Enjoy city limits and facts of fishing with dave mercer. Shows with some energy are nice. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted March 7, 2009 Super User Posted March 7, 2009 So... what do you like about them? NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! They are boring. 20 minutes of flippin and 10 minutes of commercials ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Only ones I watch are shows where the host will fish for a variety of species, especially the inshore saltwater guys. I watch Jose Wejebe "Spanish Fly" Lary Dahlberg Lindner's........but I gotta turn off the epilogue, I appreciate the fact he's a religious guy, but I don't want to be prostylized. I get a bit of an education from the above. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 7, 2009 Super User Posted March 7, 2009 I like them all. I learn somethng from each one. I can't stand Charlie Moore. I want him to fall out of the boat. Usless show. Quote
Culln5 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The number one thing I hate about ALL fishing shows, is that....... I'M NOT FISHING WHEN THEY ARE! Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 City Limits - Mike Ike is a great fisherman, but he can be annoying some times. It's fun watching someone have fun fishing but when he yells at the top of his lungs screaming for 5 minutes straight is an overkill... gets annoying after a while. 2x - I agree. I like Mike, really do, but the screaming is, well, rather embarrassing.... :-[ Quote
guitarkid Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The fact that they are always trying to sell stuff, but hey they got to eat too. The boring shows- the ones that don't have any good tips. Favorites Hunt for big fish- Good bait making tips Bill Dance- Good tips Strike King pro journal- once again, the tips -gk Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 7, 2009 Super User Posted March 7, 2009 While I agree, alot of these shows are nothing more then half hour infomercials. there are alot of shows that are fun and informative. My favorites are: Worlds Greatest fishing show. (Fun) Bass Pros. (Informative) Al Lindner's Angling Edge. (Very informative) Kim Stricker's Hook-n-Look. (Fun and informative) Falcon Quote
Triton21 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I like them all. I learn somethng from each one. I can't stand Charlie Moore. I want him to fall out of the boat. Usless show. I too like all the fishing shows. Can't stand some of the hosts, ie Charlie Moore & Roland Martin. Quote
jack1 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Top three shows on my list: Lindner's Fishing Edge In-Fisherman North American Fisherman I'm a multispecies fisherman, so I benefit most from these three shows. Great cast members who presents great information. They get to the point and do a great job at walking you through their presentation. Quote
jdw174 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I don't watch that many fishing shows anymore, but the two that I really like are The Bass Pros and Classic Patterns. Used to watch Day On A Lake, but this year they're all fishing the same water. As for City Limits, I refuse to watch anything with Ike. Can't stand the screaming, and if I hear him scream "IT'S A GIANT" while winching in a 2-3 pounder one more time....I'LL SCREAM! If I'm watching BassMasters and he comes on the screen, I hit the skip button on the DVR. If he's still there....I hit it again. He might be great in person, but on TV?,........not a chance. Quote
JiggaMan512 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Seems these days it's just too darn easy to pick out what we don't like. So... what do you like about them? ...What HE said... Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted March 8, 2009 Super User Posted March 8, 2009 I'm waiting for Shaw Grigsby to start endorsing adult diapers... Judging by the sounds he makes, he soils himself at least twice per show ;D Quote
