I know that the fresh wave of "personalities" are more popular with the younger generation, but I just cannot stand the over the top pretentious attitudes that Ike and Ish have. I have always grown up being taught to be confident, but not cocky, and that is why both of these guys to me act like children.

Ish is a good guy, at the 2009 classic my (at the time) girlfriend had talked to him at one of the booths before the classic started and when he didn't make the cut, that afternoon her, her dad and Ish were all in the elevator of the hotel together and he gave her his jersey off his back and autographed it for her, definitely a nice guy

I doubt Charlie Moore Is a great fisherman or even a good fisherman . I could be wrong but I would bet In person he's completely different than on his show.

Ive read his book, called the mad fisherman I think. It gave me a diffrent insight into the guy. I figgure hes a decent fisherman, but his show is smart, I find it annoying, but I would guess he makes the most money fishing without being a pro. He figgured out how to market himself. That being said I don't like his show one bit.

I don't know the first thing about Charlie Moore, except he's on TV and I'm not..........he must be doing something right.

He will go away when the ratings fall, for now he must have a fan base or he'd be canceled.

im from mass and he used to have a fishing show on necn a channel in mass and whenever he was actually fishing he caught the smallest fish ever. When he wasnt fishing which was most of the time he was screaming about some boston team. I dont think anyone likes him and ever since he got a national tv show hes started dressing like a dipstick

When Charlie was fishing T's in NH, he was a darn good fisherman.

Charlie lives in the next town over from me, about 15 miles, and I know people that know him and have dealt with him, an ex of mine was friends with his wife as well. I gather from them that he has his over the top tv personality and his normal guy personality. I hear he's really just a farting, swearing guy that loves to fish, like us, but he makes money from being a loudmouth on tv, so he pushes that envelope to keep his career going.

I think he is a con man who would be more at home in a pool hall shooting for a buck a game than in a boat tryong to catch fish. He has conned people into watching his show so I guess he is good an what he does.

Anyone know if the guy is legit or just a loud mouth?

I'am up in Canada with a limited access to the web. Sort late to the party on this topic. Since Charlie is my friend I feel qualified to say that Charlie is both legit and loud. Which was the origional question.

I would say your pretty much right on. Just a normal guy.

Yeah, I never meant any offense toward Charlie at all, just never really have seen any serious fishing on his show......I lived in Manchester NH for a short while and I met several new englanders that were quite similar actually, very loud and pretty wild and crazy. I enjoyed my time there and found the folks there to be pretty darn cool to hang with. I'm sure Charlie is no exception.

The Madfisherman well, he is just that, he is a cool cat that flat out knows and love fishing just like the rest of us

Why hasn't the most important question been asked? I haven't seen his show, so is his Wife hot?

His show is not at the top of my list.

I would be curious how well his show actually does. I mean rating wise how does it stack up with the big boys like bill dance or hank parker?

^^It's better to let only him be the one concerned with that.

I actually enjoyed some of the episodes. He seems very light-hearted and charismatic. But I can see how some would get tired of his show after awhile.
