FNC, Real Fishing, Fishful, Hooked, Canadian Sportfishing... man, even the Dimestore... these shows and more helped with the long northern winters and some certainly planted a little knowledge into the noggin'. Don't watch fishing shows or TV much anymore.
Charlie though... I'd fish with that guy. In fact, would fish with any of them. It's easy to judge from the couch, and even easier to change the channel if it's not for you.
