Shaw Grigsby dvd......

66KingFisher · 05-27-09, 02:30 PM

I just rented a dvd from Netflix titled, "Shaw Grigsby's big bass fishing tips". It should have been titled "big bass fishing trips" instead since thats all it was.....segments from his fishing trips where he caught some nice size bass.....But you can forget about the "TIPS" part.....Other than near the end of the dvd when he does give a few pointers on how he was riggin his bait....thats it.....No really helpful tips of anykind like I was expecting, so I was hugely dissapointed with the dvd.....Not to mention the dvd starts with a series of commercials......you then get to watch Shaw fish for awhile but then the show stops abruptly just after showing a second batch of commercials....no credits...nothing...just goes to a black screen.....maybe I just got a bad copy or something, I dunno,

Don't get me wrong, I've always like Shaw and enjoy watching anglers catch monster bass, but the main reason I rented this was because the title said "big bass fishing tips", and I wanted the TIPS......lol. Anyways,I just thought i'd pass this on.

Thanks, I've got netflix too! I'll check out the video!

Did you not read what he posted? He said he hated it. Well, he didn't use that strong language, but the idea is the same.

Ya, I know, but I'd still like to see it!

Hate is such a strong word that I don't use it much, and it doesn't apply here.....I was just very dissapointed with the lack of so called "tips".....it was an enjoyable video.

Thanks for the warning.

hmm, ok, that for the heads up than! I added a few bass fishing vids to my que yesterday, what's your favorite one?

66KingFisher · 05-28-09, 01:54 PM

Netflix doesn't carry but a couple of bass fishing videos....the rest of the stuff is for fly fisherman or trout fishing mostly, and some saltwater fishin kinda stuff.....little odds and ends like "Noodling" and stuff like that......I do have a Babe Winkleman bass fishing tips video in que but thats the only other bass fishing video they seemed to carry.

Hmm, what about the fishing vegitation video, and small lakes one? I saw those, are they new you think?

One thing i have noticed about shaw lately is he has just been a huge pitchman . Almost every show he does is to the benefit of his sponsors products . The bass fishing tv and video world has kinda been relegated to a never ending advertisement with a few fish being reeled in here and there .
