flaming gorge macs on the outdoor channel

[DonInDenver]

I didn't see the program, but what you describe sounds like the unethical deliberate snagging that I have heard about when the fish are ganged up in Linwood Bay to spawn. It's disgusting. And, no, this is definitely not the sort of "jigging" that most folks do at the Gorge. The latter is a very focused, very deliberate, finesse presentation of the jig, and it's fairly rare to foul hook a fish.
