Good to see some heated discusion, nothing wrong with that.
Just for the record, watching the latest series of shows by Thomas & Sinclair, both show improvement. I Thought Geoffs shows on the Salmon run in Canterbury was good viewing. These guys have been going for a long time so hats off to both of them, cant be easy to find fresh subject matter year after year.
Matts show has some awesome production, camera work etc, I just find the yahoo element a little tiresome , but thats more a personal thing, and I do understand what he is trying to do by bringing the sport to a more general audience, by adding the entertainment factor.
At least we get 3 shows a week on free to air, so I'm not complaining. If I need more concise educational viewing I go to You Tube.
Regarding your comments towards Chad Hangler, I guess your snipe at the Far North locations could be seen as a shot at him, seeings he had a large part in putting one of those episodes together. For the record I dont care where they film, just seeing some of that action, really gives me the inspiration to get out there and do it.
Maybe in future choose your words a little more carefully as I am sure you will be aware that some members of the forum have a close relationship to some of the shows under discussion.
But at the end of the day its all good stuff, main thing is we all love to fish, so go hard!
