With Shark Week finding its way on everyone's DVR this week, and a heated discussion about ESPN cutting its outdoor programming (and possibly selling B.A.S.S.), we decided to conduct a little informal survey over on Facebook this weekend about your favorite fishing shows.
Well, we had 130 people chime in on their favorite fishing shows, and the results were pretty interesting.
River Monsters on Animal Planet took a whopping 20 percent of the vote.
In second place was Bill Dance's shows (on Versus and Outdoor Channel), which took 12 percent of the vote.
There were five shows that tied at 5 to 6 percent:
Deadliest Catch on Discovery
In Fisherman on Sportsman Channel
Hank Parker on Versus
Hunt for Big Fish with Larry Dahlberg on Versus
Fishing with Roland Martin on Versus
Honorable Mention:
City Limits Fishing with Mike Iaconelli on Versus
GillznFinz on Versus, WFN and others
Jimmy Houston on Versus
There were also a couple of foreign mentions:
From Australia: iFish, Fishing Australia, and Hook, Line, and Sinker
From Norway: På fisketur med Bård og Lars
