[quote TubeDude][#0000ff]You are not alone in your dislike of (the host) and his portrayal of Utah fishing. I keep hoping to see something informative or stimulating on his shows but usually turn them off in disgust after only a few minutes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff] [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Among his many gaffes on the program has been referring to the chubs in Huntington North as "suckers", keeping a fin-snagged mack pup from Flaming Gorge as being a "good smoker" anyway, tossing released trout several feet out into the water instead of a gentle release, and adding pounds to small fish.
[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Probably one of my biggest "eye-rollers" is his limited vocabulary...particularly his overuse of the word "awesome". How awesome is that? He asks that question multiple times on every show.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff] [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]He doubtless has friends and followers. Can't count me among either.

[#0000ff]I miss Doug Miller and Reese Stein. Adam Eakle does a pretty fair job though. At least he spends time with DWR folks and emphasizes the legalities.

You hit the nail on the head, I couldn't agree more of what you said. If I watch the show I hit the 'MUTE' button so I don't have to hear 'AWESOME' every other word. Or hear him yell out 'fish on' like he's having a contest with who ever is on the boat with him.
Doug Miller was a nice guy. He was in the same Duck Club that I was in. Always very personable to talk with and I enjoyed his show and I also like Adam Eakle shows too.
