There are probably hundreds of fishing shows on TV. Most are pretty much the same. I have started watching one recently that is a little different and I wanted to tell you all about it.
Hook n' Look is a new series on Versus. What makes it different is that they actually get in the water and film the fish in their natural environment. You get to see how they are related to cover as well as how they react to the baits. In the first episode I watched, they caught and filmed bedding Smallmouth. After releasing the fish they would follow the fish right back to the bed. It only took a minute for the fish to setup on the bed again.
They frequently have fisheries biologists on to discuss the science of the fish and their prey. Most fishing shows will heavily promote a lodge or bait in each episode. Hook n' Look so far has not been so obvious. Sure they mention what they are using and obviously they have to mention the sponsors, but it doesn't dominate the show. I like this aspect. We will see if that changes in future episodes.

Here is a link to the show schedule. http://www.versus.com/nw/article/view/62500/?UserDef=true&catID=78

Lots of Smallmouth episodes are coming up but there are a few Largemouth episodes as well as a Peacock show.
Setup your DVR and let me know what you think.
