Sure like to know the average age of the guys who responded to this thread.

There was also a show out of Louisiana where the Dad fished Toledo Bend mainly and the son fished the La/Tex coast.
A couple of Cajuns. I think his name was Cajun Phil and still has a spot on Barry Stokes' show.

Cajun Phil and Kevin Broussard. They have a lodge and run trout and redfish trips on Lake Calcasieu and surrounding areas. Talked to Phil a couple months ago.

You would have to really be an old goat to remember that one from back in the 60's. Loved that show as a young boy ate up with fishing.

Fouz, its still on the air, not that I watch it.....

There was also a show in the early 80's that followed some of the bigger draw tournaments. Seems like it was called the Texas Tournament Trail or something similar. Another show about that same time
was Bass N More Outdoors. They were local to the DFW area and shot some shows at Lake Fork when it was only a few years old. I filmed with them twice and the lake was not even full yet.

The you tubers who get way more watches than any fishing show on TV?

Sounds like Charlie Moore was a pioneer.

42 for me.

Dan, you're California dreamin', now. Some of the weekend fishing shows draw 500,000 viewers for one episode on one day. Major League Fishing drew 1.1 million when the Summit Cup aired on CBS in early 2016, and it's gotten even more popular since.

I remember these, Keith and Allen right?

I think the guys name was Murtis Dryskell had a fishing show. You think that I would remember because I drove one of the camera boats while filming his show when he did a show on Fayette County Lake. We did the show about 2 weeks before it opened to the public. I remember that it looked a lot different back then than it does now and we caught so many fish it was ridiculous. I think it was Murtis Dryskell Outdoors that was the name of his show.

Phil seemed like a good egg. I spent a lot of time working in the Bossier City area and always had my tube float and tackle with me. Lakes Sibley, Black Bayou, Bistenau, etc... All good lakes. Loved them. Fished a top water through that duck weed that floated around the lakes, you could always see where your last cast was by looking at the trail it made. By the time I left that area, I was talking like a Broussard!

As a young man in Kansas it was the Harold Ensley Show. Couldn't get enough.

The Harley Berg Show. Had a 20+ year run on KWTX out of Waco.

The Lone Star Sportsman, the original from back in the 60's, sponsored by Lone Star Beer.

I remember going fishing in the morning, going home to watch Bill Dance and Roland Martin, and then getting back on my bike to fish some more.

I used to not like it when Al Lindner�s show came on because it seemed like he was always fishing for walleye and that didn�t interest a kid in south Louisiana at all.

I had years of issues of Sports Afield and Field & Stream that I would read and re-read.
