A pair of Oneida Lake walleye assassins named Bob Rioux along with a friend Dave Plewes each from Syracuse NY where behind the scenes fisherman for Ole Gaddie back in the good days. They would hook fish and then handed off the pole to the man..... Miss you Pop. No fear though,,, we,re still slaying them on Oneida

This could be the only video of bowfin being the target...the flying fisher...how long have i watched him ..???

Wish dad never sold his company gadabout use to belong to the Gaddis family. What happened to making horse saddles and leather gun holsters?

John Lurie's "Fishing with John" brought me here.

No catch and relese lol

Remember watching Gaddabout on our 1st tv 📺!! Black and white

I wish I hade those brand new Shakespeare wonder rods

xl bone. very cool.

It's interesting that he thinks the Glen Canyon Dam is gorgeous. It only ruined one of the most gorgeous places in the USA. If things keep going the way they are going all that backed up water will be gone some day and all those beautiful walls and shoreline will come back and hopefully that chunk of concrete will rot away.

Gadabout was the original the great complete common sense, no gimmicks, I learned so much from this man I studied ichthyology and University to learn more about fish I learned more about fishing from gadabout he was the very best he was decades ahead of his time he made my life and my sport so much more enjoyable God bless him🤝

Always looked forward to this and the American sportsman

My favorite when I was knee high

I'd like to think Floyd hollered "F*CK" when he lost that first one, but thank goodness its the sixties and a lapel mic cost $3,000 and had to be hard wired to the recorder...

Thanks Mr.Bulgine for these videos was a child when we watched them so many years ago, now I'm 61 and have been looking for these many yesrs.

This guy used to put me to sleep decades and decades ago; it was on the weekends and there were at most 3 choices for TV: baseball, golf, or this fishing guy. I have searched him out since now I can't sleep worth a damn anymore I figured he may do it again. We shall see, or not. Maybe I need Sky King instead?

One of the originals

I don't want to create controversy, but that's my dad landing the plane at the start of each episode, not Gad. They needed the plane to land in just the right spot for the camera to catch it properly and Gad couldn't do it, so he asked his good friend, my dad (a crack pilot who had trained fighter pilots in WWII) to do it. One of the more obscure meaningless facts of television history. Our family stayed with Gad once in Maine. I still remember as we landed in his field. I was a little freaked out because I'd never landed on grass before. We passed over Gad himself who was down below driving his tractor. He was a very friendly and relaxed guy and had a great house, kind of log cabin-esque but huge with giant windows looking out to a wide river, though this is a memory over 50 years old, so who knows how my brain has embellished it. I remember that he loved lobster and made a point to eat lobster in front of me that summer because for some reason lobsters grossed me out when I was young and he enjoyed the look on my face. What a different world. Good times!

Great guy he was a mans man.....rip

Cool- my old buddy was talking about these from back in the day! And voila here he is.. Gaddabout G the flying fisherman

Excellent lure!!

Awesome video and lures.

Dude was really horsing that skiff around...

I love these lures.. they work great on the Great Lakes for salmon!

Thx for the share... cant wait to use more of Al's Goldfish Lures on Lake Michigan!

Nice fish buddy. Can't wait to eat it with you. I need the hook up on some Al's goldfish!

Rip...Mr Gaddis

I got into fishing because of this guy. I'm 62 and still fishing. Go fishing and take a youngster.

This guy was the original TV fisherman folks. Im old enough to remember.

Thanks for uploading loved this show

How will this work vertical jigging ?

I watched 7 episodes of these old films and I couldn't figure out what was different. Then it hit me. The only Brand names I saw in all 7 films was Mercury Outboard motors and Boston Whaler boats in this one. Could you see this guy trying to produce this show today without the name of Sponsors all over the frickin place? THere'd be the Rod and Reel, The name of the baits, the brand of gasoline the motor used , the fishing line, The Boat, The fishing motor, The truck he used to get there, the tackle box, the battery in the boat, the trailer it was on, The cooler they put the fish in, The Beer they drank, The insurance company on the boat and truck, By the time all the commercials played this 8:25 minutes with all the "When we come back we'll see" and "Before the break we saw" bullcrap is enough material for an hour show!

This one is from 1965...Marion Massachusetts.

Awesome! Love Gaddis! Will be looking to get a Goldfish lure. Just got back from Montana, cought and released Cutthroat, Rainbow and Browns! Best trip of my life

Wow, totally cool man! Read his book years ago, "The Flying Fisherman" and have been looking for him online with no with no luck. Highly recommend this book if you can find it. His life story!

Thanks for uploading these, my Dad and I used to watch all these episodes every Sunday, it brings back good memories of fishing with my Dad. Where did you find these episodes? Did you purchase them as a VHS or a DVD?

looks good!

This brings me right back to my childhood, and why I love fishing so much.Jerry

Thank-you for uploading these!!
