Local Fishing Shows From Long Ago

[geodebasser]

I remember The Harry Stressel Show from the seventies when I first got interested in bass fishing seriously.
,
He was a local that came up with a show catching bass in mill foil on Lake G with Cordell Spots and frogs. His show was a pioneer in ripping grass with blades on Lake Guntersville. He also did a lot on Tim’s Ford catching stripper. Tragically when its show had its run he hung out in local pool halls trying to hustle. Unfortunately he ended up homeless. Sadly I can’t find any old videos of his show to post . Only this sad obituary.

Joe Krieger, and his partner Wanda Scott. They never caught a fish that didn't go in the cooler.

Fishing with Brett Winkler. Not the greatest host but he fished all the local lakes which kept the show interesting. All small fish were "fun size".

[Charles Prestridge]

Poor Man’s Fishing out if Birmingham. Host fished for bream mostly. Was a good show.

Joe and Wanda fished for a lot of crappie and even some catfish.. They launched out of our marina many times.. Wanda caught the biggest LM I have seen personally out of this lake to date.. It weighed 9lb 9oz I believe, something like that, it was over 30 years ago and I've slept since then ,,, and oh yea, it went back in the water...

When I lived in CA, I remember Mike Reynolds had a tv show fishing the motherlode lakes. As a kid I thought it was cool seeing a show on the lakes I fished because at that time all the other shows were from back east. Don’t remember the name of his show.

They loved to catch sandies or stripers on a Bill Norman Pearl White with Red or Blues eyes.. and in the ice box they go..
