The Truth About Sharks and TV

[eppefour]

I don't blame the participants. I think they made some mistakes but they didn't edit the tape. I think the East Coast participants were used by OLN for ratings etc. The west coast guys may have had some idea of how it would play out because they were involved before. The editing took most of the fishing out . I'm sure that most of the bashing clips came as answers to direct questions posed by OLN people designed to get the type answers they wanted. OLN really made our sport look bad. I was always leary about talking to reporters and most big companies do not allow employees to talk to the press about the company. Reporters always seem to angle things to make the point they want. A lot of good fishing footage got dropped to make a point. I'm just not sure what they were trying to say. If the point is sport fishermen are a bunch of loud mouth drunks, they are dissing the bulk of their audience. If it was just for ratings they deserve to lose their ratings

Can anybody supply us an email for this new Versus channel (old OLN)?


I think I might champion an email campaign.

You could explain it to us. While I think the crew from Olivia G acted poorly, I don't think the rest of you did. I do feel that VS used editing to get the end result they wanted. I would have fished the tournament if I had been invited But I'm not sure I would have liked the show that resulted

DURING LIFE WE ALL MAKE MARKS ON OURSELF THAT WE WISH WE COULD TAKE BACK. SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM MISTAKES.

There were a lot of mistakes in this production. I think everyone has agreed on that. There are some people who have been impacted for life, their life was changed. People involved with the tournament now have issues with each other. But they are a small percentage of the fishing world.

This SHOW had an effect on their lives and friendships. Probably less than 150 fishermen were involved in this event. The issues should be between them.
NOT 10,000 or 1,000,000 of us here on the web. Specifically the greatest site on the web Sportfishermen.com.

Question of the Day: Should I be angry at a friend because he supports OG? My friend and I were not even involved in the event. Should I have issues with a friend who supports the other side? Remember I wasn't there.

Thanks to all who care about this industry.

FRIENDS ARE HARD TO COME BY. I APPRECIATE THOSE I HAVE. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE SO ANGRY.

It's very hard to find anything worthwhile to watch on so called "Outdoor
Telavision". Some Phlip Pallot reruns and the Super Retriever series is about all I can take anymore.
