I miss the Orlando Wilson Fishing Show!

This is an interesting discussion and I'm not trying to be flip here but managing a TV show involves a network, sponsors, talent, production team, weather, the fish and on and on. It is an expensive endeavor that is constantly in a state of flux. Not to mention in most cases the fish don't cooperate. There's a template of course and most producers follow the same process and methodology for delivery. The guys on here acting like it's such a simple process make me laugh. When your TV show airs please let me know so I can watch...

With that being said. Every producer wants teaching moments, they want authentic ways to integrate their sponsors into a show and above all else they want the content to be compelling. It all starts there. However, getting that to play out in every show is difficult to say the least.

Major League Fishing is an enormous and expensive production so comparing another show to that is ridiculous. You're seeing the result of a partnership between professional anglers and the Outdoor Channel and they've done a great job. You're watching something from last year that had countless productions hours and a major budget behind it.

It's easy to sit behind your keyboard and say I want an exciting real time fishing show, with no commercials, tons of education and lot's of hook sets... run out and make that happen and let me know how profitable and easy it is for you. I'm all ears.

Good dialogue regardless. We've tried to implement a lot of this with Honey Hole where possible. Thanks to those who've said kind words about the show. We're grinding to make it better.

They do it with all other sports - rodeo, tennis, golf, bowling, volleyball, pool, etc without cheesy brand promotions. It can be done with fishing...the general consensus here is we like the shows. We would just like a little more education rather than catching...and a lot less plugging of lures & equipment within the show. That is unnecessary. No other industry has such blatant ads embedded within the show content.

What do they do in "all" other sports?

Other sports can get past having to plug sponsor products because they usually also have a load of non endemic sponsors that simply want their brand seen. More people recognize UA, Nike, Reebok etc without having a need for them to be verbally mentioned. Most know the logos. Those products also appeal to people outside the spoirt.
In fishing related shows most outside of fishing don't know the difference between Strike King or Yamaha. Fishing is a niche sport. Most other sports are not.
