Amusing Monday: Score a few for the fish
June 15th, 2009 by cdunaganI was amused last week when PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) expressed concern that dead fish were not getting the respect they deserve. (See Water Ways, June 10.) I believe respect is a two-way street, and I’ve never seen a fish go out of its way to help anyone.
Bill Dance, 68, known as “professional bass fishing’s first superstar” (PDF 578 kb), was awarded more than 23 national bass-fishing titles before retiring at age 39. Since then, he has produced more than 2,000 television programs that show people how to catch fish.
Mr. Dance deserves some respect for his accomplishments. But if fish could watch a computer monitor, I think they would find some level of satisfaction in these videos. One video can be found in the player on this page. I’ve picked out the best of the rest and provided links below. (You may find it easier if you open these links in a new window.)

How much did the fish pay their body guard?
Trolling, trolling, trolling on the river
The key is getting the right camera angle
Sometimes a low camera angle is best
But high angles also have their place
