Who is or was your favorite TV Fishing Show Host?</p>

 

[Nickajack Angler]

Uh...we just did this about a week or so ago....Look back a couple of pages and you should see it! Sorry.... I think we actually put down Show... But mine, even though he has gone south as far as challenging himself has always been TN's own Bill Dance, but Hank Parker, Jimmy Houston, and a few others. Most on the CFF actually chose Benny Hull! Due to the fact that he fishes local waters and many have met or know him from what I could tell.

  Well for me it was Jimmy Houston because my wife would not make me change the channel like she did when I tried to watch some of the serious idiots!  We really liked Jimmy's outrageous laugh. Bill Dance bloopers was good for a laugh and I think that is what fishing is about have fun and - yes - catching at least one nice fresh fish to eat.  Mike Ike is not a guy a give a rats ... about and the whole bass tournament thing is for birds. It is always sponsored by BASS BOAT, TRUCK and BOAT MOTOR manufactures.  I'd rather see MikI and KVD racing side by side in bellyboats fighting for position to make a cast!  That would be real fishing and entertainment!  It is too bad that big money runs TV and common sense never prevails.  I mean, why not have tournaments from canoes or kayaks. You don't need a bass boat or a big gas guzzling truck to enjoy fishing!  Motors and fish really don't mix except in the Bass-O-matic 2000 blender!</p>

Bulbob, I share many of your sentiments especially concerning the BASS craze. I can picture a TX on Lake Junior that has been stocked with about 100 of Bill Dance's private lake lunkers with Mike "I can yell I" and about 7 of the other top bassers in belly boats in a true bass classic. Weighins at the Trade Center. emoTongue What a show that would be! emoBigsmile emoGeezer

We had a thread like this a little while back and all the usual suspects were mentioned Bill, Jimmy, Hank, Benny and Roland. Several guys mentioned the Scott Martin Challenge show. I watched it for the first time last weekend. What a great show! Lots of good info and how to, in a mini tournament format. Actually saw some things I can use.

[bassncorey]

Bill Dance is probably the best host. I also enjoy watching Benny Hull. You know, I cant think of a fishing show I dont like. I just love fishing. I do enjoy watching Bass fishing the most though.
