fisherman7 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Overall, I'm just jealous he has a fishing show and goes to great lodges and fly-ins and I don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share 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. While almost all shows are blatent advertising including The Chronz Meister that is what they are there for, to promote and sell fishing related items and services. The hope is that there is some good fishing thrown into the 20 minutes of airtime to make it worth while watching. There are a couple of shows that aren't 20 minute long infomercials that are broken up with 10 minutes of more commercials but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozaibak1 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I don't mind the show at all, I like the guy, someone who seems very generous and kind, like the fishermen I encounter while fishing. What's wrong with that? I don't see how you can dislike the show so much as to put a post up on it... I also wanted to say to an early comment that I don't think many novices are going to be catching many Muskie in the first place, it's not like he's a major influence on how many muskies are going to end up as table fare, he's being honest at least.

holdfast Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Un-Like the Lemmings, i also agree. I like How and where he fishes, his Guests, His tricks, his Rants. As far as eating Fish, love his shore lunches, wish i was there. He doesn't wear billboards, talks about Flouracarbon and Okuma all day, AND, has these weird baits called Bubblegum and Yummy or whatever. Good show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basserone Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Like it has been mentioned before, it is not only Cronzie all the fishing shows are the same, indorsing their sponsors and provide little to no information to the viewing angler. I watched Mercer the other day on the Score, I had a hard time actually watching him, but he was bragging about the Mercer Magic crank bait. I do not have time for people who make a living from misinforming anglers into buying their products that might, and I mean might, have worked on that given day. The technology thay have today can allow them to chop, cut and edit the filming and the viewer has know way of knowing. Mercer might have caught one fish all day for all we know. I was a tournament angler for many years and saw a well know angler, using Diawa equipment on the water, but was indorsing Shimano rods and reels while on stage. What a joke, whatever happened to the In-fisherman, even at the end that became very commercialised, but at least they talked fish scense, without stating that you required a specific rod or reel to catch fish. The other day I watched a little girl fishing from a dock using a stick, string, and hook with a piece of red wool on the hook and she was catching panfish one after another. No special equipment there. If you must watch these shows, watch them for entertainment only and beleive half of what you see, and half of what they say. This is big business, these guys are not professional anglers, they are salespeople making a living off each and everone who supports them.

ricoboxing Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 i like his shore lunches, but seriously i'd rather be out fishing, or doing more important stuff on weekend mornings; rather than watching fishing shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beertech Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Chronzy is right about the mnr. Its run by polititions and snot nosed kids who have no real understanding of the fishery. The salmon stocking is a mess on lake ontario for one. There are some good conservations officers out there but they are too underfunded to do their jobs properly. I don;t mind him having a shore lunch. Don;t get why the scotty tournament doesn;t get more backlash. There is no way the boats are eating 25 fish plus they each kill in a weekend.

Greencoachdog Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also, I wonder if you would be bashing him and his show if he were a member of OFC, like Dave. Ditto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 His son is a member and I'm sure it doesn't make him feel too good. ... but what if he was a sponsor and advertised on this board??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdH20guy Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 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. free preview on now of WFN on cable anyway; used to subscribe to it but cancelled due to reruns and infomercials all the time...

love2fishhave2work Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Not a fan of any fishing show that requires spending tens of thousands of dollars to experience the same thing the host experiences. No way I have the time to go to any of those lodges. That said to each his own. Maybe that is part of his appeal. I am not sure I find the "He speaks his mind" arguement valid. So does my senile grandfather and the little dictator in N. Korea. Speaking one's mind is not a very good measurement of an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yeah, he's a loudmouth. Big Deal. So he likes to eat fish. I believe every angler should include a frying pan as an integral part of their fishing gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
