lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 i have been watching wfn for a few years now and im getting sick of cronzie... he belittles nonstop the mnr and he does not support catch and release, i even remember one episode were he said ''theres nothing like a good muskie fillet'' give me a break! yea lets ecourage the novice angler to eat muskie... he would be so hard to fish with.. he gets soojelous when the guide gets fish..(i get a good laugh outta that!).. he is so sponor orientated that he wouldent dare name something that ise'nt his sponor. darryl its time to throw in the towel buddy.. retire and give the timeslot to dave mercer or the fishn canada guys. i know your replies are going to be: then dont watch it.. i think we can all relate to this though.. dave is way more deserving that darryl. heck mike miller can make his own show instead of this guy.
TJQ Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Personally, Im a bit tired of the fishing show / cronzie bashing
musky66 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Personally I don't care for any of the fishing shows on TV right now. Blatant advertising for lodges and tackle, not enough info or tips, etc. Pretty lame stuff.
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 making fun of chronz is too easy. i'm just glad that i'm not the only one who thinks the guy is COMPLETELY out of touch.
Roy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 This rant comes up quarterly. You can watch Dave Mercer on the Score or WFN as well as watch some great videos on his site.
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 he has nooooooo orientation in the fish.... walleye all the time! he hates on us ontarians for calling it pickeral! i dont know why he hates us on it! anyone can go on a guided trip in the middle of the bush and catch pickeral with a live minnow... it takes real skill to catch them with a crainkbait or grub on a pressured lake like what most other shows due
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 yea i talk to dave once in a while. good guy. add him on facebook or like roy said go on his site.. in my mind he is the future of tv shows.. he has a big veriaty of fish and a good sence of humor.
MCTFisher9120 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 i even remember one episode were he said ''theres nothing like a good muskie fillet'' give me a break! yea lets ecourage the novice angler to eat muskie... I also remember that he said this after saying that if a musky were badly hooked and bleeding the musky would most likely die anyway, further more why waste a musky. Whats better, one in your belly feeding you, or floating in the lake...feeding the gulls. It's important to make judgement calls to keep fish, some people(myself included) keep fish to have a fish fry/shore lunch thing. Others keep fish in order not to let them die. What he said there was not wrong in any way shape or form.
LeXXington Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Ahhh Fishing show bashing.. Right, host should not promote the sponsors,, go too lodges for fishing.. next you want them too start working for free cause they love the sport. How about you also stop watching all the movies and televison shows that have product placements,, After thats done stop listening to the radio for advertizement. Your next cable bill or Sat bill will be how much?? Darryl is not always correct but he tell's it like it is. He has done more for this province than most love him or hate him its a fishing show made in Canada, with an Ontario host. Dave, Bob, Darry and the rest should be promoted not bashed. And yes I agree they should show more how too's
MCTFisher9120 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Also, I wonder if you would be bashing him and his show if he were a member of OFC, like Dave.
danbo Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Hey Patty..besides your terrible grammar. Have YOU contributed anything to the fisheries or their care?
rickster Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Although I haven't seen every episode with Chronzy I can say I don't recall disagreeing with anything he has said on any the episodes I watched. You say you are getting sick of him. If you don't like the show why do you continue to watch it? Lot worse shows out there
Roy Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Also, I wonder if you would be bashing him and his show if he were a member of OFC, like Dave. His son is a member and I'm sure it doesn't make him feel too good.
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 actually yes ,i have bad grammar because i am very french and i dont care about typos. i am a member of ducks unlimited. ofah. muskeys canada. i helped raise walleye for local stocking( iwas responsible for 14000) and i could not give a flying hoot if he was a member of OFC.. infact i want him to see this. i gave 6000$ of my tournament winnings to invasive species research and for the re-introducking of atlantic salmon( wiich i regret)
Terry Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I don't always agree with him, but he says what he believes and most of what he says about the MNR has merit I am sure he follows the regs to the letter, so if he wants to eat fish, who am I to put him down now if he dresses in black and try's to act like a 15 year old talking smack and slapping the fish back into the water I will complain oh wait fishn canada already tried that and we know how well that went over
highdrifter Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) actually yes ,i have bad grammar because i am very french and i dont care about typos. i am a member of ducks unlimited. ofah. muskeys canada. i helped raise walleye for local stocking( iwas responsible for 14000)and i could not give a flying hoot if he was a member of OFC.. infact i want him to see this. i gave 6000$ of my tournament winnings to invasive species research and for the re-introducking of atlantic salmon( wiich i regret) Actually, I thought you did pretty good. Anybody who brings that up has poor use of their only language and couldn't sniff the sweat around your bollocks. I'm with you man. You couldn't pay me to whatch his show. I'd reck my tv with repeated remote beatings. Different strokes for different folks.. cheers HD Edited July 13, 2009 by Highdrifter
misfish Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I too did some Cron bashing way back.But after talking to his son,who does read this board,so Im sure you will get your wish to him.Cron is Cron.He speaks his mind. Just like we do here. Lets aggree to disaggree.
BillM Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Like people have said, atleast he speaks his mind. He is the biggest supporter for more CO's on the water, so I can't see this blanket hate he has for the MNR. Is he pissed with what they've done with the money that comes from our licenses and fee's? Hell yeah, and I'm sure if you knew what it went to, you'd be pissed to. I do think he needs to ease up on eating everything he catches and maybe practice a bit more catch and release, but there are far worse shows on OFC then the Cronz.
pike slayer Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 i wish i could get the fishing channel and your complaining, be happy you can watch something like this sure it needs to be ironed out but enjoy it
solopaddler Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 The Don Cherry of the fishing world, I like him.
misfish Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 The Don Cherry of the fishing world, I like him. EXACTLY. Nice call Solo
Guest gbfisher Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I eat fish............. I'd eat more if I could just catch em.
cuillerierk Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I personally like the show. Better than anything else on T.V Saturday morning (unfortunately I don't have WFN) Plus I love his Breading and Batter mix.
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 yea support to have more cos on the water and the field 100% yea he speaks his mind but sometimes we just dont want to hear it.... the time he spends complain he could be giving tips... you dont need much skill to catch walleye up north with live bait.... anyone could do that.
lovemyprovince Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 and another thing.. i eat fish too. but a ''pro angler'' like him should be promoting c&r regardless. his whole darn show is promoting lodges( witch is good for the economy but common!) and his sponsors. he has not givin tips i think... ever. also his batter is crap, it does not stick like fish crisp.
