Thank god, now I finally have an address to send that box of live grenades to!

He's just going to trade them... save the postage, ask Danbo what he wants and post 'em in the classifieds!

 

 

Back to the show....

Completely different! Not just the FoF format but Gar? I remember a long while back seeing a fishing show about peacock bass. It rocked. And then everybody did a show on peacock bass! Dave is the 'gator gar trailblazer!

Review of Dave Mercer's Facts of Fishing: The Show; Season 2, Episode 1:

 

The introduction was funny as always, I liked the way you spliced in some new clips, but I found the old music a little bit more effective, but not that big of an issue. I still like the format, one day on the water. I liked how the show started off with a bang, in Texas for huge Aligator Gar. The enthusiasm was great, you could truely feel the fact that Dave was having the time of his life out there catching monster Gar. Funny and interesting as always. All in all, a very good first episode of the second season, which I know a lot of us have been waiting for. I like the new 'comic book' style of recapping you do in this season, it's visually unique and engaging I would say. I like the fact that you still keep with the ending, where you do the "facts" recap, this concept works well. All in all, I felt it was a good episode, it kept me interested the whole way through, and I look forward to more shows, wether they are shot in Canada, or abroad.

 

Thanks,

Cool saw the FOF truck heading north on Yonge Street at Wellesley around 8:30 a.m. this morning. Nice rig.

 

You may want to brush the snow off the rear license plate so the Cops don't stop you.....

WOW that was a great show. The aligator gar were huge, and looked like a tough fight. I wonder what the differences are from a aligator gar to a gar pike... Nice show Dave!!!

Just watched it this morning.

 

Great start to the new season.

 

Looked liked the alligator gar were a blast to catch!

 

If you liked still fishing then you should go out to the Fraser river to catch some of these:

Dave your show was great as always as a musky nut I again am thinking of them big gators what a blast to see that show you sure do know how to have fun on the water you would fit in with the crowd down here on LSC chasing musky.

[Cudz]

Very good show.

Very cool fish.

I really enjoy your report card format of the show.

My favourite is the beginning of the show when you are making that first cast aftern ensuring that everything is just perfect. Bam! Birdsnest!. lol. I can so relate to that.

Just one question about the show and the editing. When you are about to set hook on that big gar (the one that you lose), You show the line being run off of a calcutta. When you are fighting the fish you have a more saltwater style reel. What gives? (I may have to re-watch that because it is possible that I am wrong)

Keep up the good work.

Can't wait until the next episode.

Also congrats at all the face time in the BPS northern catalogue. Good to see you and Deforge in there as much you are. Cool to see Pete in there a bunch as well.

Great show ...Its always nice to see someone fishing for something different

[Handlebarz]

Yeah Thanks a lot Dave this show has me so hooked today I was just watching it again for the fourth time (I did not get to watch the whole thing each time) when I missed what sounds like a great Bills drive (I am not a bills fan but like to watch Farve) But it was worth it as That first one you boat is a beast. I just wish you were able to boat that monster that broke off at the boat.

Congrat's to you SLOWPOKE.

 

I swear the fishing god's are not happy with me no matter how often I say the Rapala prayer they just don't listen...

 

“Oh Lord…There he is…It feels like a big one…Please don’t let me lose him…I’ve never caught one this big before. I’ll try not to horse him, and if I land him, I promise to release him…and make a graphite replica if my wife says it’s ok. Thank you for the Rapalas…Amen.”
