Hope Carlton and Harry Towles... I loved that show.
Sick, tired, hungry, broke, busted, disgusted, can't be trusted, been imposed on and won't fight
Before Jerry McKinnis did The Fishing Hole he did a show called The Falls City Fisherman. It was sponsored by Falls City Beer out of Louisville. He ran a Chrysler bass boat and motor at one point.
He fished the major impoundments of the Southeast with some legendary fishermen like Tom Mann.

When I was training at Tyndall AFB in Panama City, FL in 1989, I'd get up around 4-5 AM and turn on the TV to Red Holland Outdoors. Red loved fishing for bream and shellcrackers. Heard he sadly passed away a couple years ago. Still catch his old shows occasionally on YouTube.
Remember Harry well. You could occasionally find him hanging around in Jerry's Sportsworld on Oakwood Avenue.
Yes I remember Harry Stressel show. He hung out at busters bait and tackle. Gambled cards and parley football cards. Huntsville area also had Donny McCaroy outdoor show and Rocky Drake. Rocky does YouTube stuff now.
"Outdoors with Red", Red Holland when I was growing up in NW Florida.
Back in the 60s and 70s we had a local fishing show here in Hampton Roads called Fishing With Jeff Dane. Came on Friday nights. He would show pictures of viewers catches. I was so proud when I finally caught a bass nice enough to send my picture in.
This show went off the air 10 years ago maybe? Pre-FFS, aluminum boat, at least in this episode on Grand lake.
Which guy used to have a piece on the Friday evening news where he gave a lake report and always ended with a trademark noise he made smacking his gums?
Honey Hole Outdoors with Jerry Dean later taken over by Bill Wilcox when Jerry passed away. Still going today.
Barry Stokes still does a show as well.
Some more info. about Ky Afield since 1945. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Afield
What was the guy name who was from Texas and he had a John Denver haircut and glasses and fished out of a Skeeter in the early 80s

I know it isn't that long ago, but I liked Orlando Wilson. I just did one of his tricks last week, netted the fish, removed the lure and threw the pliers overboard.
Doug Marshall The Alabama Fisherman. He had a body shop on Washington st.
Delaware Valley Outdoors with Bob Murray. You can still find episodes on YouTube including one with Ike.

14' Mirrorcraft tin boat (ancient) with a 9.9 Mercury 4-stroke, no electronics; catches fish anyway
my grandfather was on the don wallace show years ago fishing Roman nose for trout!
And seems like most were caught on a pearl colored crank bait.
Gattabout Gaddis or whatever the spelling was when I was a kid. My dad called me Gattabout when I started fishing. If my memory is right he was a regional show. Lee Bailey jr did a local show when he was a touring pro years ago also that was played on free public television sites.
Best national show was Curt Gowdy American Sportsman
