TV, Pac Warriors

[skrilla]

It's a TV show, had to keep repeating that while I watched.

A pet peeve of mine with fishing shows is dubbing in the clicker sound when fighting a fish. Now everytime I see a shiny gold Penn Torque that dreaded noise will replay in my head.

Also incontinuinity with shots. Noticed the same exact rod used for bendo shots for two different scenes, one with Rob and once with Jon Jon. This was a custom rod ( yellowish wraps with dragon scale ) and I doubt they both ordered the same exact one.

Hated the Boogie D segments. Over dramatized. Having his client jump into shark infested waters to untangle the rudder or else "he can't paddle in" . A good guide would paddle over and help no? Also if so dangerous, why is the camera man in the water with him? And losing visual with your client even with a camera crew on a boat?

Always liked Rob since watching those Penn promo vids. 800 bucks for a 40# tuna though? It's been 2 bucks a pound here in SD, straight from the RSW.

Jon Jon is funny. I like his DGAF I'm gonna get a WR marlin campain. Can't wait to see more of him.

And Kimi biting the octopus to kill it, hell yeah!

Would like to see more footage of the local life, food, wahines.

Overall like the show. It's no accurate depiction, well cause it's gotta appeal to the masses. That said can't wait to see the new wave of kayak fisherman out on the water expecting the type of fishing they watch on TV.

Not sure if the show will work....but I guess it remains to be seen. It's different from wicked tuna and the deadliest catch in the sense that there is no competition between the teams/groups of the show. So there's only one set of commercial guys...and everyone else does their own thing...?

The whole carrying rocks underwater to train for kayakfishing was a bit much...I did get a kick outta that one...

The camera crew should have come to lj yesterday, they could have filmed me carrying my PA underwater upside-down

AGAIN!!!

It was alright, I enjoyed it. Didn't care for the repeated bendo shot reel screem. I hope we don't see that 10 times every show. But I always enjoy a good fish and catch especially with the Kayaks. Biting the head of the octopus was cool. It turned white & went limp instantly. I'm gonna try that with my next Yellow.

I'll watch it again!

I think the one guy is one of the fellow BWE guys. I recognized a clip that he posted here prior to with the shark. They used it on the opener to the show. Also the Marlin scene. Not for sure if its him or not, but it looks like him Kau Grown. Rob

Just the trailer was enough for me. Way too dramatic and way too much attitude. Absolutely beautifully filmed above and below water for sure. I think making kayak fishing in to an "extreme sport" is ridiculous. Mike

I missed the show, but is is on again at 11 AM this morning and I will watch it.

So we are bad ass now?

Thanks for posting the link to the original post JeffB. The original video of catching the marlin is actually better than most of the Pacific Warriors show. I guess it's because it's more of the catching and less manufactured Hollywood BS you see on all the so called reality shows. I hope the future shows have more fishing shots and less BS. Do you really thinks that the camera boat could have lost sight of the younger kayaker. It amazes me how stupid people can be to believe all the BS on the "Not Real" reality shows.

I just want a show that focuses more on the fishing, bait options bait choice, where and how to find themWhat tackle do you use when you have one type versus another.explain hook sizes, line sizes and brands. Rod reels. Kayak accessories, the list goes on.they just go straight into character development; this guy is the cool old timer, this guy is the new hothead, how will they fish these waters together and educate poeople on their techniques and gear.

I'm sure the producers are filling it with drama to attract the viewers, they could care less about hook sizes and bait options.

Shows like this (reality) are the reason that I stopped watching TV years ago.
I'm not bagging on this particular show because I've never seen it but I believe that "reality" shows contribute to the dummying down of society .
Just my opinion but reality shows are basically all the same from The Real Housewives of wherever to Honey Boo Boo. I've never seen an episode of the Kardashians and feel more intelligent because of that and I sure as hell won't pay a cable company so they can continue to produce more trash and sudo "celebrities".

P.T. Barnum said it best,
"If you want to shoot for the masses, aim low"

When I need my fix of REAL fishing video I just watch the posted stuff here on BWE.

I could not agree more!

You want reality...come to BWE

UPDATE to last post...

I just watched the show online up to the part where the guy jumps in the water to untangle his rudder and that was more than enough for me.

Gotta ask... Who does that guy who was training the new guy think he is by having him carry rocks? Mister freakin Miyagi? LOL
I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who noticed that while this guy was taking the new guy to what they say is a such a dangerous area, the new guy was paddling with his paddle upside down. LOL.
What a joke!!!

Editing gets a C- at best.
Side note... From what I hear the Vanilla Ice Home improvement reality show editing gets a B-.

I think I heard "Bro" enough, thank you.

Had to laugh when the guy lost the Tuna right after he thanked God for allowing him to catch it. LMFAO!!!
Makes it look as if God doesn't like the show either.

I was also wondering that if the only reason the two guys fished was to sell their catch why they wouldn't just buy a boat. I'm sure they could make a better living with a skiff.

ANYWAY.....
I really did try to watch with an open mind but like I said before, reality TV is not for me.

[Fishin' Magician]

That whole scene with Rob and Jon Jon...., what the hell was all that about? So these guys, (Rob and Andy) 'own' the waters and specific spots? Get real. That really gives the sport and us kayak fisherman a black eye. I know that's it just a TV show and that they need to have 'conflict' in it so that people will want to watch, but that was a bit over the top. Jon Jon should have just gone out anyway and told them to get lost.

Oh, by the way...., I now claim the fishing rights to all of Newport Harbor. Anyone who wants to fish there has to check with me and get my permission first! Rob need not apply....
