| If anyone should get ticketed for over-playing fish, it's Joe Bucher. I won't watch him anymore because I am sick of watching underwater footage of smallies that should have been lifted into the boat long before they were made to fight some more so they could net them and get that on film too. And what's with the dog licking the fish? Is that supposed to be cute? It's been done a million times Joe. Catch the fish, lift them in and let them go. You could get more fish on film if you didn't take 5 minutes with every 15 incher you catch. |

Location: Fishing the weeds | I saw the show, and it was entertaining. There are quite a few shows that I watch with the host either overplaying or, holding the fish out of the water for extended periods of time while he gives his dissertation on how, what & when of the catch. That drives me "Batty". I did notice that Mr Dahlberg needs to work on his figure 8's however. But overall a decent show. |

I agree, even my wife made a comment saying " why does'nt he just bring it in the boat, that fish is'nt that big"
One episode I saw he was hunting ski's and was saying how hot it was with some spots on the lake at 80 degrees. Then when he catches a fish he's got it in front of the camera saying how he caught it and what not for a good couple minutes after finally putting it back in the water. That spot might not have been at 80, but it sure did seem like it was harmful to the fish.

| I hear ya! Cliff Pallet? Now the only salt-water shows all seem to be on big trolling yachts. I always enjoyed watching him stalking Bonefish on gin-clear shallow flats. I think that I would like to do that some time. Funny you should mention that. I was thinking of him today when I was watching Shaw Grigsby catching Snook around different kinds of cover. I thought that Cliff would be able to cast a fly way back under that crap and make it look easy. |

| I thought it was a good show. Not the most entertaining hunt for big fish though, I wish he'd get back on the golden dorado again. Those are some awesome looking fish!! I also wish he would go back after the nile perch, but with 2lb magnum dawgs. That would be great.
But this last weeks show on lure making was great, and he's the only guy out there doing shows like that. Definitely made me turn the tv off and head to the workroom to make some more lures. I like Larry and definitely appreciate his unique shows. |

| I could watch him fish prop baits for Peacock Bass every week. Maybe before I die.......Peacock Bass and Caribou with a bow. Then a Viking funeral, and scuba divers and beach combers all over the next day  |

Location: madison wisconsin | Saw this weeks episode. Great! He has alot of toys to play with. Loved it when he showed the rod and the weight balance. Makes a big difference. I'm not any kind of lure maker, but I could watch people make them all day long. Interesting. |

Couldnt agree more. Total classic, especially when Jose Wejebe was on the push pole. Headed down to Pine Island in 5 days! Hope it warms up down there!!!

I only caught the last 10 minutes of that show but Shaw was stomping on some of my brothers and I turf down in Captiva. He was even anchored on the exact spots that we fish! They even showed/talked about South Seas where our brother was married last September!
Edit: It's Flip by the way.

Location: Ames, Iowa | If you can get through some of the ego and the criticism of others that comes out through his comments, Tred Barta has a great philosophy. No 300 yard shots with a .400 Weatherby on something as big and slow as a bull moose. No getting out of the SUV, walking 30 yards and jacking a mountain goat from 700 yards. Even if he doesn't bag something the fair chase was worth it. Same for his fishing shows.
He appreciates more than just taking something home. He has fun and you know it. Being a muskie fisherman I understand all of that. I enjoyed his recent Colorado public land elk hunt video.

| I loved walkers cay too...awesome show. I loved the one where they went canoeing in an unknown location in the everglades, flyfishing for enormous bass. And the dog went in the water for the first time ever when it got excited about the bass on the line. That was a great one. |
