Tuesday Fishing Video - Fishing Lake Mojave in 1954

This is a great one!

Black and white film footage of fishing Lake Mojave (near Lake Mead) in 1956. Looks to be a promotional film of some sort - full of great details, like the newfangled technology of a spinning reel.

"When a high-flying plane sets down at Las Vegas it's the last place you might look for a fisherman with his rod and reel. yet right here, in the midst of the great American desert, is ne more place where the bass really proves itself as the nations number one freshwater game fish."

Thursday Fishing Video: Big Jumpers Bass - Vintage IGFA Video

"In the world of fishing there are men who seek out the big jumpers as hunters seek out trophies in the animal kingdom..."

This video is from vintage IGFA footage. Not sure the year, but I'd guess from the theme music maybe the early 1960s. I was pleased to see them let the catch go at the end. If anyone knows more about this, please speak up in the comments.

Summer Break...

Hi everyone

In case you haven't noticed, we're enjoying a little summer haitus here at The Wired Angler. I'll pick back up the pace when the weather cools off - in the meantime enjoy the smorgasbord of videos I have lined up Tuesdays & Thursdays.

Also, remember that you can see links to all my posts as well as other stuff I come across on Twitter.
