I think his show was "Sportfishing the Northeast". If I remember correctly it was late 80's ealy 90's when it was on air. If anyone has these shows on VHS/DVD, please let me know
"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"
I remember him
I still have that awesome episode of the North river on VHS tape someplace, unless it got wrecked in the flood. Those were some cows during the day on eels

Yep. I watched that show every week. As soon as I saw the name I thought of the North River footage of him casting the eels. Great Show !
I remember this show as I was very young. It was pretty much the only show I knew of. I remember being AMAZED watching him catch big Bass on eels at night ( from a boat) I'm only 31 so do the math. I would stay up as a kid just to watch this show when the rest of the house was asleep. Awesome thread.
I loved that show, too. Mike was a regular, local fisherman as a host. Something we can all relate to. I'm 40 and I still think about that North River striper episode. I lest a positive impression and changed how I fished for stripers.

I remember that show! wasn't he using a little Newell 220 or 229? Funny what you remember.
That crappy sound was music to my ears!
They were going to put that reel on display at the Smithsonian, but they chose Archie Bunker's chair instead.
If that reel could only talk!!!!!

I hear what your saying but I have always hated when my reels start to jerk like that.....so in the winter put new HT100 in them if it was a penn or those smoothie drags......then I bought my first Shimano conventional a 15/30 StarTLD and the drag is still like butter after years. Nice and smoooooth. Just personal opinion on feel.
