OH BOY, I had no idea that a question about steelhead videos would mutate into something mentioning 'Fisherman's Heaven'. But since Robbo brought it up I'll say that it's going to be a great show. Perhaps I'm biased because I'm featured in the 'Dingaling's corner'(or whatever they call it -- one minute home video contributions) in the 'Kings on the Icicle' segment. In the home video, I'm seen tackling a king in about a foot of water. My friend Thriller had been playing a 26lb king on 10lb line for 20 minutes and the sucker just wouldn't allow itself to be beached. Not being very patient to begin with, I got tired of it all and pounced on the fish. The camera gets me staggering to shore with the head and tail hanging out on either side. Touchdown Notre Dame!

Now, onto the real reason for the reply. I, too, have seen some of the FH tape with Robbo. Co-host Mike Wasch lands a 20+ native buck (great underwater shots of the battle, by the way) and then jumps for joy into Robbo's arms. I can understand a moment of shared joy between two grown men . . . but that male embrace seems to linger rather long . . . . Anyway, now that Robbo's married perhaps he's been working through this situation (or at least is off camera). No, seriously, it's worth watching the segment for the look on 6'8" Robbo's face when out of the blue this guy in waders (Mike) launches himself into Robbo's arms. I laughed myself silly.

I'm certain that everyone who's on this board is going to love the show -- great rivers, big fish, no b*ss and two nutcases for hosts (plus some great guides).

Bob probably doesn't need any more business (except for those days when he fakes the blown-out pictures so Fishgal and he can dynamite fish the on their own). But Bob, as public service to your fans who haven't yet fished with you why not guide on one of the episodes. (You could put a 'no hugging' clause into the contract.) Hollywood beckons!
