For those of you saying "too much drama," that's the only way a kayak fishing show would ever make it to prime time TV like Discovery Channel. Discovery isn't a fishing channel; its audience doesn't want to watch a fishing show. "Real" fishing shows are on WFN or Outdoor Channel, like Hoover's or Sammons' shows. Hell, even River Monsters over-dramatizes a lot of these "freshwater killers" (and I love that show).
I've enjoyed it for what it is. But regardless of everyone's stance on the validity or reality of the show... the reality is: this is HUGE for our sport. Millions of people will be introduced to kayak fishing through this. Our sport will benefit, and a rising tide raises all ships. More companies will begin looking to kayak fishing, and the great companies already in it like Mariner Sails will benefit as well.
Personally, I'm STOKED that those guys made this happen. Kudos to them.
My only gripe with the show is no PFDs. And I think that blame lies with the producers; they should have required them IMO.
