I also heard from a very respected person that he was sturgeon fishing on the columbia or snake and Larry and his crew was filming there and they did not hook any fish so they attached a 5 gallon bucket to oneof the rods and pretended to fight this monster until of course they lost it.
Pretty funny if you ask me.
Anyways we do have some great local shows that do not fake fishing. I have filmed one episode for the Hot Tamale outdoor shaow and two for the reel Deal fishing show. With scott and the hot tamale show I actually got the guide sweat having gone the first 3 1/2 hours of the day with no fish in the dirty water, when Bam I hooked one up ass fishing, then it was all down hill from there with us hooking a whole bunch more and I think landing 10 or 11 , which is enough to make a great show. Look for it soon on your Portland station.
With Andy and the reel deal it was the same thing nothing but straight up fishing!!!
Support your local shows.
