Any of you old guys (Bill) out there are surely going to love this. I just watched a new show on Versus (NBC Sports) called Fish the Baja. Haven't seen any fly fishing yet but this centers all around Baja and fishing mainly off the beaches. If you go to the show's website scroll down, turn up the volumne, and click on "Fish From Hell".
This video was first filmed in 1945 and the narration is to die for. Remember this IS 1945 and you've GOT to laugh at some of the practices and references back then. " Dolphins are only good for their leather and oil", spearing manta rays, shooting sharks and saying that "the China boys like the fins for soup".
I remember going to the shows on Del Paso Blvd. for a quarter and seeing news clips like this in B+W with the same kind of emotional narration. If we were lucky we'd even get a cartoon too.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did, TONY
