My 10 Least favorite fishing shows all-time
10. In-fisherman - Overall its really a decent show and well produced. I had to stretch to get 10 shows. I still like to watch In-Fisherman, but its pretty low on my priority list. Main reason is too much multi-species and not enough bass. Its easier to handle now that I have DVR technology, I just fast forward through the non-bass segments
9. Fishing with Bob Dillow - The Buckeye Basser! The show had overall low production quality in early years. Not that informational, I guess I can take it or leave it.
8. One More Cast with Shaw Grigsby - Wasn't Shaw a bass pro once? I would never be able to tell with all the bonefish and redfish shows. Watching Saltwater fishing does nothing for me. Get back to your roots Mr. Grigsby.
7.
6. North American Fisherman - The
5. Jimmy Houston Outdoors - Outdoors is the problem, I do not care to watch Jimmy hunt pigs, turkeys and elk. Not too mention he rarely leaves his private pond when he fishes. Also there is a little too much crappie fishing with the wife. I do like that he kisses his fish. One more thing, do you think Jimmy will ever let his hair go natural?
4. Fishing with Roland Martin - The great American fisherman... What a lame theme song. Roland is guilty of too much saltwater fishing and does a fair amount of live shiner fishing, which does little for the imagination. Have you ever caught anything on the Helicopter lure?
3. Bill Dance Outdoors - Has he ever done a show not in his private pond? It is kinds of fun to watch the giant bass he catches, but my grandma could catch 8lb bass all day in that pond. It does very little for his credibility. Let also think back to the Dancin' Craw, Dancin' Eel, The Pork-O, do I need to continue will all the lousy products he has endorsed?
2. Beat Charlie Moore - Has there ever been a more annoying host in Bass Fishing Television history? I like the concept of the show, but it really seems like they pick some chumps for him to fish against. What is with the challenges at the end of the show? Why don't they just keep showing the fishing part? It gets great ratings for some reason and now we have lost quality shows like Schooled by Denny Brauer and Loudmouth Bass because people for some reason cannot take their eyes of the train wreck that is Beat Charlie Moore!
1. Fishing with Orlando Wilson - I am not sure why, but from my early years of watching fishing shows on TNN, I have always hast this show. I believe there was a annoying intro the show and he rarely had any good

Actually, I might change up the list a bit, but your list is pretty close to mine. I agree you're stretching it a bit with In-Fisherman, though.
The old smallmouth stuff with Jim Lindner is really good and the some of the videos taught me a heck of a lot when the fishing bug first bit me.
I'd probably put Bass Tech in at number 10, though I'm not sure it could really be considered a fishing show...

Good Points! I guess my problem with In-Fisherman is not enough bass. I am a bass guy, I do not care about carp, muskies, walleyes, crappies, catfish or anything else. So most weeks I only care to see one 8 min segment of the whole show. Its not near the problem it used to be, now that I have DVR and I can digitally fast forward and only watch the good stuff
Yeah, I am not sure BassTech is a fishing show, I am not sure I even recall seeing a bass on the show...... I have picked up a few good ideas and tips.

Loved the website, first time visitor. I will put it on my Bookmark,very interesting.
Could anyone help me, I'm about to purchase a new trolling motor.
I am looking where to purchase a Minn Kota "Genesis".
I saw it featured on one of Charlie Ingram's "Fishing University" shows.
It featured;
1. A telescopic shaft that can be raised or lowered by a foot pedal.
2. A digital read out of, the number of hours left on the battery.
3. An auto pilot (that will hold it's line along a shore or weed bed).
If you can help me in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Barry

Barry,
Glad you like the site. Email Subscrition is an option as well, you get an email whenever there is a new post. Your email is secure and I cannot even see it.
In general, I really like Minn-Kota products and I have always had a Minn-Kota on my bow. I have never seen or used the "Genesis", other then the Sega Game Counsel when I was younger, J/K
The power lift and digital readouts sound like great features.
I have never liked the auto-pilot/power drive systems as a bass fisherman, two main reasons:
1. The steering is slower than the mechanical cable drive, which is critcal in windy situations around cover.
2. You do not get feedback though the foot pedal, with my cable drive, I can feel what my trolling motor is doing and I never have to look down when I am fishing.
On the other hand, some guys love the auto-pilot/power drive systems, just my preference. You could think about posting this question on my forum as well. http://richlindgren.proboards46.com
Hope this helps & Welcome!
Rich
