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.
