Marc Thorpe Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) How many times has he been suspended from OFC ??????? Not counting other sites wow ,from internet troll to TV Star Hope they are gonna use your handle "Jamie Rhomo Pistilli" Very cool,now I can pick on you We need Hawgwobbler back on OFC congrats man Edited September 13, 2009 by marc thorpe
Weeds Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Congrats. Sounds like it would be interesting but I'd hate to see my favourite Musky from shore spots on TV. We're all pretty tight lipped around here (on the internet at least) about revealing any of our honey holes for fear of them being swamped by lurkers. I can only imagine the increased fishing pressure profiling exact locations on TV would bring. I know Fishing Canada gives GPS points but most of their destinations are remote and/or you'd need a boat to get to them. The more I think about it the less I like the idea really; I'd probably watch the show but it seems potentially damaging to the resource. Just my 2.
mrdylan Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Congrats. Sounds like I will be watching this for sure.
bigfish1965 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 If Jamie is half as entertaining on TV as he is here, he will do very well.
TJQ Posted September 12, 2009 Report Posted September 12, 2009 Congrats!! That an accomplishment for sure!
Marc Thorpe Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Whats the matter Jamie wont reply ,you to Politically correct now that your a TV star I'd be scared also Edited September 13, 2009 by marc thorpe
scuro2 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 So Jamie, are you quitting your day job?
ChrisK Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 Congrads Jamie !!! I'm sure you'll do well.....Looking forward to seeing your first show

Crazyhook Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks Everyone! I am very excited about the show. We start filming this week. Weeds, I will make sure to stay out of your honey holes! Marc, you need to work on those photoshop skills!
Dusky Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Congrats Jamie! Looking forward to see the show, would be interesting to explore what treasure we can can explore close to us!
Guest gbfisher Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 New Shows are good. Nice catch the Jamie.
fishingisliving Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 You should showcase your talent for embedding fishing hooks in your skin. Every episode, you should embed a hook in a different part of your body and show viewers how to remove it. :-) I wish I had the time to "properly" photoshop some pictures of you... maybe a little later. I've already told you, but Congrats again bud!!! cheesy pistachio pictures with gay overtones, coming soon!
Harrison Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Great to hear, good luck with it!
ehg Posted September 15, 2009 Report Posted September 15, 2009 Congratulations to Crazyhook! I am sure this will be a funny and interesting urban angling show. After seeing this which he posted shows some toughness as well. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...c=31247&hl= You should showcase your talent for embedding fishing hooks in your skin.Every episode, you should embed a hook in a different part of your body and show viewers how to remove it. :-) Jamie has come a long way from posting photoshopped pictures of ChrisS. That was pretty funny stuff.
