    The first place I ever fished was off his dock on Lake Keystone. His wife Linnie made me doughballs to catch bluegills. He gave me my first baitcaster and taught me how to cast it when I was 12. I still have it, a Shakespeare PresidentIal II.
    He had a bricked in pool in his yard and he kept several huge bass in there. They'd come out of that dark water and snatch a shiner from your fingers. It would scare the hell out of me.
    I was saddened to learn of their passing. They were great people. A legendary angler his wife was an amazing artist. It was great growing up in Florida in the 70s and 80s. Always a big deal to visit the Hannon's for the afternoon!

      My dad recently passed away. Last weekend I had a yard sale to get rid of some of his possessions. In a storage room I found 4 huge boxes full of VHS tapes. Many had never even been opened. I figured someone would take them for free. Not one single person was interested in them. VHS was going out when I was a young child so I don’t have any super fond VHS memories... except for one Winnie the Pooh tape that I watched religiously when I was very young. 😂 sadly I can’t find that VHS anywhere around the house. But... if you know anybody that needs some VHS tapes... I got all you need! 😂

    One of my fondest childhood memories is Doug Hannon on TNN. Whenever they had that block of 3-4 fishing shows, they’d play those short “bass professor” video presentations and it was always *ridiculously* informative. This was in the 90s when information was a lot more scarce and any little tip you could get was gold...Doug Hannon was always my “shut up, shut up! I gotta hear what this guy is saying...”

    They say, "old school," but what is old works exactly in 2021 fishing, it may be new to some, but it is the same basic principles of catching fish. Professional fishermen know and apply these techniques to catch fish, salt or fresh water. I pay attention to these principles because they are effective. Doug Hannon is a great teacher on catching fish.

      @@walden6272 I don't quite understand it, because in some regards with certain species like Crappie, we've done a great job in conservation. In some places, guys are catching more quality fish and the population of said fish than ever, despite more pressure and the quality just keeps going up, but you take large mouths and certain other fish and they are just not there in the numbers, despite stocking, strict creels etc.
      You can catch 1-2 pound bass sometimes seemingly at will, but the larger fish seem to be so elusive that you could conclude they simply are not there in numbers conducive to catching them. The largest bass I have caught since 2015 was 6 pounds. I was so protective of that fish I hurried up and put it in the livewell with G Juice until I was convinced that it was ok to go back in the water. We used to catch those all the time when I was a kid and the creel was much less strict, but a fish like that is now more valuable to the spawn than ten times that number in smaller fish.

    As both a kid who fished and played video games, I got into bass fishing by happenstance, playing Bassin's Black Bass for SNES. I thought to myself, "This is fun. I wonder what it's like actually fishing for bass? All these cool lures and all the technical stuff trying to trick these predatory fish." I checked this video out from the local library. I watched it endlessly for the week I had it, then checked it out again for several weeks thereafter. I was obsessed, and since then, have spent countless hours on the water, trying to live up to the expectations I developed through watching Doug. I doubt I'll ever get there. What a legend.

      I think the problem is that these kids are getting into fishing because their friends do it or they see the personalities on UA-cam who damage fish and ponds to entertain their viewers.
      They aren't learning from professionals like Doug who cared what happened to the fish when they released them and they're often not learning from their parents who teach them good behaviors.
      I don't have a problem with teenagers on the water, everyone was young once and not knowing exactly what they were doing. It's arrogant to have gotten past that point and looking down on other people who are just getting started.

      I still use mono for certain application. Knots tie down better and it's got good stretch. Today's mono is pretty good. Overall though, I use braid with FC 100 leader which is a fluro-mono mix and it works perfect.

    The effort they put into keeping the fish healthy and lively from the time they get them into the boat to the time they are released is amazing. It should really open our eyes on how we should be taking care of out modern day fisheries. Maybe then we'd wouldn't have such a hard time when it comes to landing a monster bass!

    I can't believe I never heard of this guy growing up. I can't recall anyone even in the early-mid 90s who took such a methodical approach. Doug's approach to fishing is extremely modern and way ahead of the time in 1986. It was still conventional thinking to just wait until fish were ready to eat back then. I can't recall any of the big names talking about trying to trigger strikes outside of feeding times when I was a kid.
