These types of shows are certainly geared toward the less experienced anglers, since there are a whole lot more of them than the expert anglers. I consider my self a decent angler, and enjoy watching various types of outdoors shows or reading articles. If nothing else, I can get a little nugget of information, or an idea to try on the waters I do fish.
A couple weeks back, I heard a bunch of whooping and hollering down at UL by some anglers. " look at the size of that fish, that is a monster" were a few things spit out of their mouths along with some expletives.
As I wondered over to see the big catch, there it was a 16 inch channel. They enjoyed it and had a good time with it. I let them have there fun, and I continued to catch several fish all significantly larger than theirs.
They had fun, I had fun, and no need to put a damper on it.
But he should have correctly identified a chub, and could have then talked about how to use it for bait, why some species are introduced into lakes with chubs etc.
