Joe: Alaskan SalmonI don’t think there is a fisherman alive that has not dreamed of wading the pristine rivers of Alaska for Salmon. I had always heard of the insane August salmon runs where the Pink, Sockey, Chum and Silver Salmon fight their way in droves, from the ocean to the streams they were born to spawn. Joe: ChevroletThis week, I had the privilege of appearing in a Chevrolet commercial for Outdoor Channel with my eight year old daughter, Gracelyn. It was 106 degrees in Tulsa by the time we finished the shoot, but she was a real trooper and did a great job! Joe: West Virginia Bass Festival Tournament.This past weekend, I was in St. Mary’s, West Virginia, just north of Parkersburg on the Ohio River. I was there to MC the West Virginia Bass Festival Tournament. This event is one of the longest running annual Bass Tournaments in the Sport and 2012 marks 28 consecutive years! Joe: The Greatest DayToday, I got to win a few points as a dad and an uncle in one day and had a good time as well! I played a little hooky from office work… literally ….. and took my daughter Gracelyn and nephew, William, fishing for the day. Joe: Slam Packed with Muskies!
We shot another great Smallmouth Bass Show for Stihls Reel in the Outdoors on Lake St. Claire near Detroit. Michigan. I hooked up with my good friend and St. Claire guide Gerry Gostinek of Great Lakes Bass Guides. The fish are coming off the spawning beds early and were already out in 12 feet of water. Joe: Black Bear HuntI just returned from my spring black bear hunt in British Columbia. I spent a week there with my cameraman, Gerry Addison shooting a show for the 2013 Season of our Outdoor Channel hunting Show, “Scent Lok’s High Places”. Joe: BuffaloLast week, I traveled to Buffalo, New York to shoot an episode of Stihl’s Reel in the Outdoors with my good friend and guide, Tim Braun. Now the Buffalo area of Lake Erie holds a special place in my memory, as that is where I won the $100,000 All American Championship early in my career. Joe: Fabulous New Zealand!
As I write this I am still recovering from the jet lag after my trip to the South Island of New Zealand. I traveled there last week to shoot an episode for Scent Lok’s High Places. I have always been fascinated by New Zealand and dreamed of going there someday, and after 50 years, I finally got my opportunity! Joe: Live Action with Andy Morgan
Today, I had a chance to view a piece of video we shot last month on Lake Chickamauga for with Andy Morgan for the upcoming season of Stihl’s Reel in the Outdoors. It just proves that you never know whats going to happen when you get out of bed in the morning! I hope you enjoy this video clip…. Joe: Championship Round on Wilson Lake
For the past several days, the Ultimate Match Fishing Crew and I have been shooting the championship round on Wilson Lake in Florence Alabama. The fishing has been great, and the matches very exciting. I love this area and the people! |
