Got it dvr'd ready to watch it but 5yr old has the tv now.....

I watched it and Zona is a drama QUEEN. I can tolerate Ike but Zona was tough to watch!

Wife wants to go to Falcon now!

My TV guide says its on Lake Erie with James Overstreet.

Whats up with that?

Overstreet deserves all the success he is having, I remember when he first started taking pictures and he has become an amazing photographer! He's also one hell of a duck hunter and you can't find a better person to share a blind with

Zona is awesome, you kinda have to have a sense of humor to understand.

My TV guide says that too Snagalager. It was not going to record it because it was an old one. But I have restored it. Look forward to seeing it. Thanks for the heads up guys!

Watching Zona is like being in the boat with your best friend, to me. I think he's got the best show on TV. The guy is truly enjoying himself, and I think that's great TV. I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to hang/fish with that guy for anything!!!

What he said!! Best Show

Love me.some zona

Guess I will find out if its Falcon or Erie in the morning!

Zona is goofy! I can relate! He's very entertaining!

Yes. Zonas show is entertaining! Nothing wrong with having some fun

I know several of you said Zona is the best in a thread of mine asking for good show.....

As I watched, all I could think was drama queen and a little baggish like Ike. Thought to myself if this is the best, I am gonna have to watch on mute.

I'll admit he took some getting use to, but he flat out cracks me up now! On Bassmaster television, he can't hardly stand it when he's not talking, his expressions are priceless.

[quote his expressions are priceless. [/quote]

^ That's for sure....I thought it was a great show with good fish and some tasty lookin food too.

Guy would be Fun to fish with!!

Im about to watch it now.....Thanks for the reminder!

Zona is awesome! I asked KVD when I met him if Zona was the same way off camera and he said "he's worse". He's welcome in my boat any day.

Zona is the **IT !!

if you don't agree you can kiss my RedRanger!

When he said "YOU CAUGHT SHUGG KNIGHT" I almost pissed my pants !!!! Best show out there IMO

Zona cracks me up.

Watching it now,,,,

its getting me pumped for next week. when was this filmed?

That was an awesome show.

Very enjoyable show, it was great.

I loved James' hook set and then the fish saying it is my turn when it starts pulling back. HECK YEA!!!!! What do you think that beast weighted that Zona caught on the crankbait? Great show and I would love to fish with him! Yea he's a little crazy, but aren't we all or maybe just I am.

Looks like it`s on again at 7:30am on sunday morning !!!!

I think he might be a little Funny if you know what I mean !!!

I'll be there for 4 days next week. I don't know if the fishing will be good, but the Chicken Fried Steak,I know it will be good. I will have to forget the diet for awhile.

Great show

I don't like either one of them. If you're going to show a fishing show just show the fishing, you don't have to keep going back to show Zona so he can explain what he's doing!!

Exactly......DRAMA. The masses obviously like drama and overacting. An instructional show would be of much more interest to me.

I dont want to knock Zona............But I'm more interested in fishing than comic relief.

Fuddy Duddies! Some people must be really boring to fish with.

Fixing to re-air today again at 7:30 a.m

funny show.....Falcon kicked their arse for 7 hrs, but then the switch turned on. You notice that they had a rock pile that they fished and NEVER moved, not once. They waited for them to turn on and they did.

I am a little old school, so I never give Zona's show a look, that is until the other night on Falcon. Needless to say I will keep him on my watch list for the future. Man he caught som pigs.

If you are waiting on a fishing show to improve your fishing much you have a long wait. On the water with especially with those who are sticks is where it's at.

Being aware is the biggest key.

i dont mind zona on bassmasters, but his own show is unwatchable for me. he's just not funny. but he sure thinks he is.
the best show on tv is bass pros; good personalities and xlnt info...and no zona, ike, and whoever the donkey is on that other show...no pardons, no regrets, or something...cant watch it enuff to remember the name...all 3 are from the same mold...not funny...

How many shows am i missing having direct t.v?

Love him and his show.

Im going this weekend. Where's the chicken fried steak at?

Could be a bunch. I had Direct TV. Changed to Xfinity when I needed to make a wholesale change on all my cable, internet, home phone, cell phone.

Get WFN, Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel with Xfinity. There are probably 5X as many fishing shows on as I used to be able to watch.

Saved a bunch of money monthly as a new customer. Like any of the others you have to raise heck when you renew or they will stick it to you.

CFS is at The Steakhouse. Mostly a Mexican food place. Food is OK.

Fish Spanker moved to a new subdivision and my only choice was direct t.v or time warner cable really pisses me off that i don't have many choices

Zona does give instruction- the lesson is how to have fun and not take yourself or the 'sport' of fishing too seriously!

Man, some of yall really get upset if someone doesn't like Zona. Is it now a requirement to like Zona and think he is funny or be prepared to be chastised on the forum???

If you like his show and find him funny, good for you. Some folks just don't think the same way but that doesn't make them wrong.

Zona is absolutely obnoxious. To most old school fisherman he represents the change in bass fishing from a leisure pastime into a NACSAR/WWF "sport". Sad indeed.......

Cmack.....totally agree.

I did watch Bill Wilcox and really enjoyed his show!!

I don't think anyone is upset...I'm not. I was just stating why I like him. Certainly to each his own. I know I tend to get a little too serious especially when I'm not getting fish in the boat. Watching that goofy guy reminds me to keep my perspective.

More like a circus act than a fishing show....just like a couple on tour to get attention.

If thats what folks like to watch have at it....just not for me.

A few that are on Outdoor Network. You can call and get it for 3 bucks a month though. That's what I did. Everything else is on VS (NBC Sports Channel now) and Sportsmans channel.

Love Zona by the way. I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea.

He showed what he was seeing on his side imaging, his depth finder with the depths, he showed what lures and colors he was fishing, and did an animation of their jig retrieve. I guess having the exact coordinates would of been even more helpful for those that need more instuctions.

He's guy simply likes to have fun bass fishing but he has made some serious money in the FLW doing it as well(some of yall probably didn't even know that). He drove all the way to Falcon from Michigan to film and enjoy some time on a phenomenal fishery. I admire the fact that he wanted James Overstreet to get a chance to catch a fish of a lifetime and that was what this particular show was really all about.

Mark Zonas FLW career http://www.flwoutdoors.com/ap/bio.cfm?mid=173011

Is there anywhere to watch this episode online?

I cannot believe that nobody is pissed off that he was keeping the big fish. I dont have a problem with someone keeping some smaller fish, but the big females need to go back in. Great show but you dont see him doing that in his northern waters.

RL

He kept them for photos, and he let them go. I do not believe he killed them.

You mean one like Bill Dance's?

I love Zonas Awesome Fishing show. Its great entertainment, even people who arent hardcore fishermen also enjoy watching. I hope he never changes it!

What Buda said. My favorite fishing show on TV. The wife and kids watch it with me. We all have a good laugh.

I totally agree. My twin brother who hates when I watch fishing shows will watch this one with me if its on. It is just good entertainment. Zona seems like a really good guy and I think this show is great for the sport. As for him being high strung all the time...He admits often to pounding 5HR Energies. Hes not putting on an act. It is just his personality.

Watched it off the DVR yesterday. Great show. He is too funny.

man I want to go to Falcon.

I dont see why you guys say there is too much acting going on in Zona's show. The guy is being himself. There is no doubt the guy is nutty but everyone in the boat with him seems to have the time of their life.

IMHO, watching Wilcox is like watching paint dry.

Never saw him, don't get cable. Did a search, found his website and found some clips so I could get a taste and decide for myself. He was not 'over the top' to me, but then again, I'm as goofy as they get in excitement over bass fishing, so don't go by me. I enjoyed the tips on what they used and how they used it, never saw that on any other show.

Link to clips follow on my next post...

Here is a clip on that Falcon show, wish I could see the whole thing.

Zona's Awesome Fishing is the best show on TV. His made up words and sayings are great. Zona and Ike are my favorite TV Fisherman. I read Ike's book "Fishing on the Edge". It explains why he is that way. He is trying to sell himself. And being "over the top" helps him stand out from others. Zona and Ike no how to sell themselves and it got the their own TV shows. Like them or not, They get paid to Fish everday. Just my thoughts.
