Cool. I see they even exaggerated the weight back then. Some things never change :slight_smile:

Yep! The last fish looked like a 20, but the narrator called it 45 pounds:) Still, the video is a nice historical piece. Thanks for sharing Crabjack!

Thanks for the video. I liked it. Seeing an old black & white like that reminds me of being a kid, watching the news reels at the movie theater.

20 or 45lbs., still a nice fish. I might start tying my bandanna around my neck, just to see if it brings me any luck.:wink:

sweet find. I enjoy watching old black and white sport fishing movies, but they’re few and far between.

I also like how they somehow managed to catch stripers without spending thousands of dollars on gear, electronics and fancy boats. - LOL

They still make bandannas for fishing. The only difference is now they call them “Buffs” and they cost you $25.00 :smiley:

I am fairly certain that the equipment seen in the video was advanced for the day and age … I mean, look, the ol’ guy had a phone on his boat!!! I didn’t get one in my car until the late 80’s … :smiley: :smiley:

… it’s my Wife’s fault we HAVE to fish !!!
