About The Fishin' Hole
The Fishin' Hole is in its last season after 45 years, 27 of those on ESPN.
During its life on the air there have been:
- 8 Presidents
12 people walk on the moon
23 New York Yankees managers
40 different voices for Monday Night Football
Its production values: The Fishin' Hole always went an extra mile to get the best camera shots whether that be a fish catch or an aerial shot from the highest hill in the area. The first 30 years it was shot on film and set the bar for outdoor television production.
Its honesty: Through all the years, there was never a faked or set up shot connected to a fish catch.
Its Integrity: The Fishin' Hole never promoted anything with a financial motive behind it. No sponsor product was ever mentioned during the body of the show.
It focused on storytelling: The fish catching was always just an excuse to tell you a story, take you away from everyday stress and make the viewer feel safe.
The most common statement regarding The Fishin' Hole is, "I was only this tall when I started watching," or "I grew up watching The Fishin' Hole."
This final season will be devoted to looking closely at the people who were instrumental in making it all work and looking at the highs and lows of its history.
We invite you to watch this wrap up series as there was never a television show quite like this one and there likely will never be another.
