3. In Fisherman- they think Carp is a game fish.

4. Roland Martin- another infomercial

5. Bass Champs TV- the host is a complete jack_ss! Fishing action is actually pretty good.

Dishonorable mention- Shaw Grigsby- acts way too goofy when he hooks a fish- "oh man is ths awesome or what ?"; Bass Edge- host squeels like a little girl when he gets one on :-* .

WOW: The best show I ever watched was IN FISHERMAN, AL Linder is a great teacher!

Also Bill Dance; He covered rgging. depths etc., It may have been all his promo stuff( TV SHOWS ARE A BUSINESS) but he covered each class of baits, Who cares if they are private lakes, this guy showed me how toTrig!

Whoa, hold on.

In Fisherman is a GREAT fishing show.

My favorite by a long shot is In-Fisherman, I wouldn't mourn the loss of any other show (save Lindner's Angling Edge)

The In-Fisherman is extremely informative, and they employ the latest techniques and state-of-the-art photography.

I appreciate the fact that they're not stuck in a rut but cover all worthy fish including sturgeon, giant catfish and carp.

Once you've tangled with a 35-lb carp you gain a whole new respect.

Incidentally, if I'm not mistaken (may T-rig correct me if I'm wrong), I believe that the carp

was rated the number-one game fish in parts of Europe.

Since you made the thread I put my opinion into your post...

Beat Charlie Moore what in my opinion, that is a better show then some listed...

Unlike many shows this show does not have 10-20min of video recorder over a day to two days of fishing.

How could you put down a show/guy who takes challenges to air on TV without an enormous amounts of editing retakes and all of the other things that are in just about all fishing shows.

They even air episodes where he doesn't catch a lot of fish...

my top 5

#1 Scott Martin Challenge

#2 Bassmaster's Elite

#3 The Bass Pro's

#4 Ultimate Match Fishing

#5 Hank Parker (hasn't sold out just yet)

I really don't enjoy watching fishing on TV that much, I enjoy informative stuff and tournament's alot more that I do just watching people reel fish in.  

Most hated

#1 One more cast with Shaw Grisby (SUFFIX, SUFFIX, SUFFIX)

#2 Roland Martin (oh look there I caught him right under the Mercury 225 Optimax)

#3 Bill Dance (hey folks we are here in my aquarium, hey camera man stick another 4 pounder clone of the last fish on my hook)

#4 Al Linder (don't know what it is about this guy, maybe his accent, haven't liked him since I was a kid)

#5 Allen Warren Outdoors (pansy with a glove)

Charlie Moore is a waste of good air time.

You do not learn anything other than watching a very acerbic individual who talks funny do some fishing.

Other shows are acceptable.

I would rather watch my Kevin VanDam, Woo Daves and other's DVDs and videos over and over than watch Charie Moore.

Roland Martin is my hero.

I just wish Ono made sunglasses for those without a need for bifocals.  

1- On the water with Frogtog. ;D

Never get to watch any, I'm always fishing when they come on. :

To clarify my choices, let me just say that for a fishing program to get and hold my attention, it has to at least demonstrate something that is useful to me,  I.E. technique, lure choices, color selection, use of sonar, etc.

That being said, here are my choices for best/worst fishing programs. (Some are no longer being made..  )

Best:

1.  Schooled With Denny Brauer

2.  Fishing With Larry Nixon

3.  The Bass Pros

4.  Bass Pro Shops Fishing (usually a good segment there about bassin)

5.  In-Fisherman/Lindner's Angling Edge (Bass fishing segments only)

6. Scott Martin Challenge

7.  Ultimate Match Fishing

8.  Bassmaster Series

9. Day on the Lake

Honorable Mention:  World's Greatest Fishing Show

Worst: (In no particular order)

Roland Martin - (I'd only spend time in a boat with him if I could tape his mouth shut)

One More Cast - (Like RM, a half hour infomercial interlaced with shots of the host giggling like a girl everytime he hooks a fish)

Bill Dance - (I cut my bass fishing teeth watching his show, back when he actually traveled to different lakes/rivers and hardly ever pushed his sponsors so blatantly as he does now.  And those "captive" fish in those phosphate pits in Florida are getting a bit old....)

Bass Edge - (promises much and delivers little)

Bass Champs- (The show is 30 minutes long.  Actual fishing time on air is probably 10 minutes.  The rest is interviews.)

FLW Outdoors - (This show is a joke.  Way too much time spent on interviews, personal items, local sites, and when you finally get on the water you have to set through the same fish being caught from four different camera views!  BOOORING!!)

Fishing University- Another half hour infomercial.

Does "A day on the Lake" still come on?

Does "A day on the Lake" still come on?

Except up here, during these months it's called   A DAY ICE SKATING

Roland Martin is my hero.

I just wish Ono made sunglasses for those without a need for bifocals.  

your an ageist pig.

keep it up smartass and i'll beat you to death with my walker.  

My favorite by a long shot is In-Fisherman, I wouldn't mourn the loss of any other show (save Lindner's Angling Edge)

was rated the number-one game fish in parts of Europe.

No other show comes close to the hands-on informational content of this show. Al Linder or the Linder brothers, are my favorite fishermen of all time. Next on my list would be Bill Dance. I find his show entertaining and enjoy his wit and charm. I have met Bill on numerous occasions and he seems as genuine in person as he appears on his show.

8-)

Hey, I'll take any of them.  I don't get any American bass fishing shows over here.  I do have"The Fishing Channel" on Korean Cable, but it consists of about 10 hours a day of carp fishing shows, 10 hours of ocean fishing and the other four hours are random fishing shows...a couple of which might be a bass show each week.  (Right now they are ice fishing for carp...woo hoo...I'm on the edge of my seat.)

So go ahead, pick your worst bass fishing TV show and send it on over here...I'll gladly take it.

"Next on my list would be Bill Dance. I find his show entertaining and enjoy his wit and charm. I have met Bill on numerous occasions and he seems as genuine in person as he appears on his show."

Don't get me wrong, I like Bill Dance as a person. I have also met him, and he is a good man, and a great fisherman.

Just IMHO, his show is a joke now, b/c all he fishes is private strip pits in FL where you and I can't fish. He catches 3-7 lb fish one after another (fish see no pressure), and he has turned the show into a Booyah infomercial.

If he fished public water and caught an occasional dink like the rest of us do, his show would have a lot more credibility.

That said, his bloopers are hilarious.

I like The Bass Pros, In-Fisherman, Lindlers Angling Edge, and Worlds Greatest Fishing Show.  While WGFS is not the most informative, at times, it is the most entertaining.  

The worst, would have to be Roland Martin, especially the episodes that have his wife in them.  

Personally I like The Bass Pros, Bass Edge, In-Fisherman, and Lindler's Angling Edge (my favorite). I seldom watch any of the others that have been mentioned:o(

The worst, would have to be Roland Martin, especially the episodes that have his wife in them.

OH. MY. GOD. his wife is absolutely intolerable.
