2003 Season
Review
We couldn't have dreamed of a
better season! The fishing, guests and locations were great! We
only had a couple of shows that we were forced to reschedule due to the
weather. We had many memorable moments and catches.
Unfortunately we could not fit them all in this show. Every show had
at least two or three clips that were worth seeing again. We narrowed
it down to only a handful of clips, but what we left on the cutting room
floor was just as good a what we chose to share with our viewers.
