Just saw this on the Chum and I had to shake my head.

The inaccuracies are numerous and some quite hilarious.  As Moldy Chum points out, “Bonefish in Alaska!”.  I especially like the source list at the bottom – “Hey, don’t blame us if it’s wrong.”

Just for fun I’d like to invite everyone to comment with any errors that stand out to them, I’ll start:

  • That’s the bassiest looking redfish I think I’ve ever seen
  • Missouri is a black hole for bluegill
  • No channel cats in Louisiana, could’ve fooled me
  • Redfish record is from NC – yet the map says otherwise
  • Isn’t casting and spinning gear kind of a toss up, guess fly gear is not up to snuff

This is the kind of thing ad that has the best of intentions, but if you’re not 100% certain that the information you’re trying to display is accurate, prepare to be hammered.

I’ve been really enjoying Drew’s web series, Hooked on Wild Waters, this year and wanted to share an episode I was able to help with that was filmed down here in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.  It went live on the Hooked on Wild Waters website this week.  I was only able to fish with Drew on the first day they were filming and I can tell you they did a great job with the edit because conditions were tough that day.  Big thanks to Casey Brunning for camera boat duty and helpful advice – couldn’t have done it without him.  I can’t embed the video here, so be sure to go to the Hooked on Wild Waters website and check it out and the rest of the great webisodes in the series.
