I must start off by saying that i do not get the Outdoor channel, so i have never seen any shows there. So my choices are limited to espn,vs, and fsn. It's so cold right now that i will watch ANY fishing show.My favorites: Bass Pros, Angling Edge,In-Fisherman,WGFS,Hunt For Big Fish. 2 shows make me feel like i'm a pretty good fisherman: Fishing University (has Charlie EVER caught a bass over 14"?)and Bassin Edge(makes Ingram look like a pro). Worst? i would have to say Beat ON Charlie Moore- that's the only show that i can turn off.

Anyway, I pretty much like all the shows. Hank Parker's show can be really informative, but it seemed like last season every other show was coverage of family picnics with a bunch of kids dunking bobbers from the bank.

I hear what you're saying, and maybe that's why a few others on this thread seemed to place him in the bad category, but of all the shows, it's perhaps the one that reminds us all of why we fish. No one seems to truly enjoy being on the water more than Hank, and for that, it's a fun show to watch.

I guess it just depends on what you're after and your mood that day. If I want to learn something, or check out new baits/techniques, I'll likely skip over it for something else. But if I just want to relax, Hank is hard to beat from an enjoyment angle.

Because when I watch a fishing show, i already know why I fish and the importance of passing it on, especially to kids. A lot of these shows are also passing on some kind of religous and or life style message, that if i wanted i can go to church and find ::)

I already posted on my favorite shows, but I have been watching alot of Larry Dahlberg's Show. I like this show for one reason, actually two, he fishes for exotic species. Even though you know he fishes with, and is sponsored by Shimano; he is not contantly talking about Shimano or suffix line or is other sponsors. He lets the action and the adeventure tell the story. Too many of these old guys like Bill Dance, Shaw Grigsby, and Roland Maarin are 30 minute infomercials for the sponors. I mean I fish with mainly Shimano reels, hwoever if Quantum or someelse gave me free top of the line stuff and loads of cash I would give their praises just the same. You never see Shaw or Bill fishing with that cheap made junk they sell at Dicks or BPS.

I agree.  The Hunt for Big Fish is an awesome show.

Why do they only put Lindner's angling Edge on at 4 in the morning? I think all fishign shows are good to watch because you will msot likely find that you learn something from each one. I like In-Fisherman because it's one of the shows that isn;t directly Bass oriented. I can;t think of a "bad" fishing shows.

Scott Martin challenge ,Day on the lake,Pro team jornal,the bass pros,worlds greatest fishing show.         Worst shows bill dance,roland martin,bass champs,bass bites.  my favorite alltime show was  bass tech and it is no longer on

One plug for Shaw Grigsby is that every now and then he does fish with some of the best baits I have ever seen. He is the first one to promote ao show the Rage Craw in action and that bait is a world class catchin machine.

Ultimate Match Fishing was good until Luke Clausen got on there.  By them allowing him to get an publicity for the stunts he pulled simply made me not want to watch it anymore.  I met him in person and he was just as cocky as he was on TV.

I love World Greatest Fishing show purely because I think Zona is hilarious.  He is just as cool in person also.  The boat I have, the guy I bought it from got it sold to him by Zona when he used to work as a salesman.

worst: one more cast with Shaw Grigsby (he's so annoying) :o

"Catch a big olllllllll' pig!!!!"  ::)

Depends for entertainment value or learning....??

I love Zona (Baby cub...baby cub....) who wouldn't want to fish with that guy!!?? C'mon!!!

A Day on the Lake by Quantum is a great show. I think it shows how some of the best fishermen in the world check out a body of water, lay out a game plan, and sometimes, strike out, just like us regular folks.

Charlie Moore is starting to get on my nerves, and I heard is a jerk to his crew...15 minutes of fame?????

Agreed!  the Zona-isms alone are (IMO) worth the 30 minutes spent watching the show...

"Can-Am Invitational" - fishing with VanDam on Lake Michigan (I think)

"Baby cub wanna go nightie nightie" - his crazy song about...uh...who the he** knows?

"Man bear pig" - he seems to say that a lot when he or his partner nails a big one

"Possum Kingdom Invitational" - fishing with Jeff Kriet on Choke Canyon

hilarious!

I'm a bass fishing kinda guy so I only watch the shows that really deal with Bass. My top 5 are...

1. Bass Pro's (KVD and Rick Clunn are the best)

2. Day on the Lake (a true challange for the pro's)

3. Lunkerville (keeping it real!!!)

4. WGF (new show, so far so good)

5. Hook'n Look (I like to see how the bait works in the water)

My least favorites...

1. One more cast (they need to dub over his voice)

2. Beat Charlie Moore (drown, please!)

3. Jimmy Houston (The fist guy to get an STD from a fish)

4. Rolland Martin (stop inviting your wife!)

5. Kieth Warren (fishing with a glove is just gay!)

...that made me choke on my coffee :D

Some guys are great in person but not-so-much on TV...Shaw being one of them. Met him at our winter expo in Raleigh and he talked to me like we were old fishing buddies. I don't care if Bill is fishing from a lunker-pit FL aquarium you can always learn something from his show.

My other fav's are Day on the Lake and In-Fisherman and Hank Parker when they are acutally bass fishing...cause BASS is all that matters! ;)

P.S. If you are looking for some get-through-the-winter vidoes check out Bigmouth and Bigmouth forever...true classics.
