Rich Clemens Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Boy I hope he catches "CHAMP". I'd love to see a real-life dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Gar maybe??? Be interesting to watch the upcoming show! I'm sure he'll be fishing some other lakes nearby in the U.S. as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sorry but other than the Tiger Fish show I have been incredibly disappointed. His show is everything that is wrong with reality tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I don't hate the guy, and I have watched his show. Some of it is interesting. The Nile Perch show was pretty cool. I just don't see his methods and techniques as being "world class". I really liked the Nile Perch show too. I don't see him as world class either. No approach or technique I've seen him use has impressed me, nor made me believe hes a tactical skilled angler. His persistence may be world class though, I'll give him that. I think the "world class angler" really just comes from millions of fans of the show that really know nothing about angling, or little about it. Again, I tune in and watch, and enjoy the show, so he's doing something(s) right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I hope he catches champ, holds him up, and then it eats him! Edited May 25, 2012 by Richmond Hill fisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 It's not his fishing skill that makes me watch, that's for sure lol... but seeing exotic critters with huge teeth is certainly cool. I also get a laugh every time he loses a fish and the sad & dramatic music plays for the next 10 minutes as he stares at the broken line thinking "Why... WHY?? WHYYYYYYYY?????" The catfish episode from the states where he went noodling was funny as hell... he measures a 50lb catfish mouth, and says "This could fit a human head for sure... they could be killers..." OH THE TERROR, I WILL NEVER SWIM AGAIN!!! I still tune in as often as possible... lmao @ myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that same episode he mentioned that giant catfish could be positioned below the damn gorging on dead humans, or something like that anyhow. Made me laugh... My kids are all "catfish eat humans dad???" I generally just take his word on all these exotic fish, because, well I don't know any better, lol. That is until he started chasing a 10ft Pike, Edited May 25, 2012 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey buoy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The hunt for the mythical sea monster Champ, and his scientific sleuthing, pondering and wonderment as he one by one rules out all possibilities by catching other more known species like longnose gar, bowfin, carp, and muskie will be the focus of the show You're right. It's not his skill as an angler that keeps people watching. It's the way the show is edited purely for entertainment purposes. I agree,it's entertainment for sure.

Rizzo Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Used to watch until the episode he was chasing a 10 foot pike. I know its entertainment but he lost all credibility at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 What about the Alaskian monsters that ate people? (aka sturgeon, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Only show on tv where a host is actually more focused on catching a fish then promoting something. He is no world class but some of his shows are just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
