The Urban Fisherman Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Hey Gang! Some of the newer folks around here may not know me as my life has changed quite a bit since I started with OFC. Back before my oldest was born, nearly a decade ago, I was online constantly. Since then a lot has changed, 3 kids, several moves and 2 houses later I find myself a little overwhelmed and unable to get on here as much as I'd like! That said, I will always be thankful for the fishing advice, friends and in large part my current job that I acquired by meeting Dave through OFC.Every year I work with a solid group of guys, who together work hard to bring the best quality of production that we can to Facts of Fishing and I'd like to share a little teaser here if you haven't already seen it! Season 8 starts airing this weekend on Sportsnet 360 Saturday and Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. EST time! Hope you like it and thanks for the ongoing support!!! Cheers, Ryan FACTS OF FISHING 2015 - COMING SOON! from Facts of Fishing on Vimeo.
Christopheraaron Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Very cool video Ryan! Not kidding, last night I was just watching the show and saw your name pop up, had no idea! You're certainly doing a great job and I can't wait for the new episodes, it looks like you've got some pretty good guests coming on.
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 I will tune in for the trout shows for sure. I don't watch bass fishing however. Not a bass to be found anywhere near me.
xxgoaler Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 nice video , just wondering how many episodes you film per season , seems Im always watching rerun's. Maybe I watch to many fishing shows lol. Keep up the good work
Big Cliff Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 It is really nice when you see someone that has become successful to the degree you have remember their roots! Keep up the good work!
landry Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Great teaser video. Maybe the best Canadian Fishing show - there is so much crap on WFN, Daves show is one of the few gems. I hear he is a great guy. Hope u r enjoying what u do for a living:) sounds like fun. Landry
misfish Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Ryan that was a sweet video. Last time I seen Dave, was up here for the kids fishing day. He let my little Lilly sit on the boat. He looked great. I cant wait for the tube fishing show. I,ll bet he wouldnt of done that a few years back,at the end shot of him on the river is awesome. Looking forward to this season show.

Spiel Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 I knew you when, ah well let me just say you're a pretty awesome dude in all you do Ryan. I'm extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know you a little over the many years and to be able call you "friend." Happy Year to you and your family.
mistaredone Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Wow! Great camera work and editing! Fishing shows have really stepped it up. Maybe it's time to get a FWN subscription
Moosebunk Posted January 2, 2015 Report Posted January 2, 2015 Mad skillz! Dave's program is well put together and certainly has a little extra over some other shows. So are you in the boat on the camera, in the workshop editing and putting it all together, or both?
The Urban Fisherman Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Posted January 3, 2015 Very cool video Ryan! Not kidding, last night I was just watching the show and saw your name pop up, had no idea! You're certainly doing a great job and I can't wait for the new episodes, it looks like you've got some pretty good guests coming on.

Looking forward to seeing again soon.. preferably on the water! Lookin' good Ryan. Thanks for the heads up. Thanks Roy and no prob! I will tune in for the trout shows for sure. I don't watch bass fishing however. Not a bass to be found anywhere near me. lol Still nothing wrong with watching bass shows! There aren't any actic char around here but I'll watch a show about them any day! I'll dream of catching them you can dream about catching bass...deal? Wow, great camera work! Thank Pigoen - we have a top notch crew... Some of you may know Nick Pujic... he's a master behind the Red Cam and a good chunk of this footage is his. Cool video Ryan, you have skills. Thanks Bud - it's a group effort all around! nice video , just wondering how many episodes you film per season , seems Im always watching rerun's. Maybe I watch to many fishing shows lol. Keep up the good work We film 13 episodes per season so if you catch it every week that'll be a new episode every week for a little over 3 months.....which is typical of pretty well any show out there. Maybe you have a fishing show watching addiction? )

Get outta town.. you're making me turn all red over here brother... haha It's been far, far to long since we've shared a beer and I'm thinking Averie is getting old enough for her first custom rod so when things slow down in the office this spring I think a visit down your way is in order.... You're always welcome at our place as well! Wow! Great camera work and editing! Fishing shows have really stepped it up. Maybe it's time to get a FWN subscription Thanks! Like I said, it's a group effort all around! Awesome! Thank Bill! Mad skillz! Dave's program is well put together and certainly has a little extra over some other shows. So are you in the boat on the camera, in the workshop editing and putting it all together, or both? Thanks 'Bunk... the whole crew will appreciate the words.... I run the "A" cam along with a handful of GoPro's on the the boat with Dave and I'm also the lead editor on the show. That said, it's a huge group effort with ideas, the slow motion filming, aerials and support with editing as well.
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 lol Still nothing wrong with watching bass shows! There aren't any actic char around here but I'll watch a show about them any day! I'll dream of catching them you can dream about catching bass...deal? I just find bass fishing shows about as exciting as watching paint dry or grass grow Ryan!!!
MCTFisher9120 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Still haven't met ya in person Ryan but thanks for sharing that. You do a amazing job and I still remember the first time Facts Of Fishing THE SHOW hit the air. It was different than anything else, and look at the success now. You have brought cool camera work into the fishing show world. Can't wait to see what's filmed next year!
grizzlybri Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Great video, woke up to late to see the episode this morning, hopefully I'll catch it tomorrow. I'm one of Dave's/the show's twitter followers and always enjoy the tweets Edited January 3, 2015 by DynamicBear
manjo39 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Hi Ryan, a thought that dawned on my while watching last season, was that Facts of Fishing has the best cinematography of any fishing show. Its not even close. Really evident in that clip. Loved the back cast of the spinner bait right at the camera! Is that what you do for the show?
msp Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 Well done Ryan. You definitely have the passion for your fishing and family. Keep up the good work. One request though......... Can you please give my number to April Vokey, thanks I will be waiting by the phone
motv8tr Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Great clip Ryan, thanks for sharing it with us, but I didn't see one shot of Dave kissing the fish... Maureen
Old Ironmaker Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Very nice stuff there. Dave Mercer sure has lost quite a bit of weight. I haven't seen one of his shows for years. Any credence to the rumor his sponsorship from Subway was in jeopardy because of his weight? Regardless he's as trim as a noodle rod now and good for him. Someone said " Hey I hear Dave Mercer lost 100 pounds" other guy replies " Yea that's like throwing a deck chair off the Queen Mary to lighten the load ". You have some great skills on that camera and a great eye. Keep up the good work. Edited January 5, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
