did anyone else see the "fishing accross america" tonight on the outdoor channel? they were jigging on flaming gorge for macs. they had a guide take them out.
i was a little shocked to see the erratic, tall swinging, jigging they were doing. they showed 3 fish get boated. the first they took the hook out before i could see, and the second was guthooked, and the third was hooked in the tail. despicable! i dont know what time of year they were fishing, but those fish sure didnt look too healthy as they were sinking to the bottom.
i had considered trying to learn how to jig- is this standard practice? or is this just a coincidence that at least 2 out of three were foul hooked? ive seen other shows where they jigged slower and hooked fish in the mouth.
did anyone else see this and find it disgusting?
