    LOL…!!!

    You just described about half the shows running on TV. My absolute least favorite is likely one of the most well known so I’ll not directly put the name here but that guy fishes the same stupid private (stocked heavily!) lake for bass and each week he plugs spinnerbaits and cranks made by one of his sponsors. Big time GROAN@@! It amazes me that this show makes it another week yet its been around for years. Mass appeal I guess.

    Very few shows are “real” but they can still help us have a good time! I think I know the show you’re referring to, but I haven’t bought a single lure he’s pushed! If we got the same guy…………………

    That’s who I was thinking of! However, he’s not that only one that has me lifting an eyebrow from time to time.

    Walleyefshr can’t spell none but he writes us this week from Braindirt, MN. Why he don’t just go knock on Lindner’s door, I don’t know! But he went to the trouble of licking the stamp so I might as well answer him!

    He writes, Now-a-vet, wuzzin ol’ hand, Stillapup2, what kind of twine should I be using with the new All Purpose Browning Semi-Automatic Pole-Verizer?

    Well son, that all depends on the cover you’re fishin’ in and how much of it too. For just pads and reeds, I think any ol’ 20+lb. test will do but for flooded timbers and brushy piles, I’d recommend using nothing less than 100 strand cable! It’ll cut through any obstructions before your trophy gets to it, has zero stretch properties for maximum sensitivity and hooks sets, and pulls like a puppy on a kids pair of scivies! I don’t know about this 80/170 crud you mentioned but I’d go with the cable. You know, in this application, your boat winch would make an excellent spare reel! Sure, it costs a little more but with a little care, it can last a lifetime!

    Son, good luck fishin’ in your favorite aquarium. Send us a pic of your big catch………………………as long as it’s a fish!

    See Ya Nex’ Week!

    Um ok now that the cats out of the bag, I cant believe you guys dont fall for that little scene of him banging his knee against the trailer hitch at the end of every show. Or when he drives the 4 wheeler into his artificial pond because of those pesky bees!

    I have to admit when I lived in Memphis, and Iowa there was many a day that those shows kept me alive. BUT now that I am up in Gods Country I will have to ask,” How do many of these shows make it?” Billy D, Hanky P, Fishin Canada, even Midwest indoors, I mean really a few whoa sons and shots of them pullin them in makes a show. My guess is that many of you out there have better verbal skills and fishing ability. I will say that I am partial to our home grown boyz from Brain-land. At least there is an attempt to teach.

    Still-a-Kid, I think you got the right stuff so GO FOR IT! I would be watch’in you every saturday AM.

    Good luck, Keep me in mind I could net’um or hold the camera for you!

    geeeeee now jus whuy amm eye reedin a suthin accent into all these heyah posts?? I can almost HEAR that guy saying these words… what a hoot……

    you know I think maybe you are onto something when you said you watched a lot of this stuff in Iowa….. and memphis…. dang I lived in Iowa for 35 years….. let me tell you one thing… if you LOVE to fish…. then kind of like the clampits… you gotta load up that pickup and move to Minnesoty….. or some sech place….. I could not BELIEVE the difference in my fishing when I moved up here…. oh dont get me wrong there are fish to be caught in Iowa… if you know when and where.. but its NOT easy…. if you can get them there.. you can be successful anywhere……. the guys working for fish down there have their work cut out for them…. except if they live in a few rare spots…. say along the mighty Miss…. or the Iowa great lakes… or maybe Rathbun Reservoir…..

    *sigh*…

    well let the show go ON….. geeeeeeeee StillaPup…. now your NOT “casting” ME for the part of Jethro R U?? and now dont you go saying… “NO… cuz you aint smat enuf!!” LOL
