Strike King's "Hook n' Look" season two begins December 30. Veteran professional angler/lead diver Kim Stricker and his son (Danny) return to Versus for their second exhilarating season. Once again "Hook n' Look" will take television viewers on a captivating journey into the fish's neighborhood. A freshwater sportfishing/scuba diving program, "Hook n' Look" incorporates real time underwater footage and fishing action in an unprecedented format.
Season Two begins Tuesday, December 30 at 5 a.m. on the Versus Network. Each weekly show will be repeated on Wednesday (8:30 a.m.) and Friday (3 p.m.) through June 27.
Much more than a fishing show, "Hook n' Look"; is a captivating fishing experience above and below the water's surface. In each episode, underwater videographers reveal how fish and their natural forage relate to the bottom and structure around it. They also demonstrate the action, appearance and effectiveness of today's hottest lures as they are presented beneath the surface.
In addition to the informative content, viewers will witness unexpected fish strikes, exciting fight scenes and captivating underwater action in the wild - all in an unparalleled format.
For example, the Strickers employ underwater communication equipment that enables them and celebrity guest anglers to share real-time conversations with viewers to enhance the educational and entertaining experience. Each program is filmed in an actual fishing environment.
Anglers not only see first-hand how proper lure presentations trigger strikes, but they will learn intriguing characteristics of lake and river bottoms across the country and how they relate to successful angling tactics. The program will educate and inform viewers about the various types of forage and aquatic vegetation while creating public awareness of invasive species and other threats to the underwater world.
"Hook n' Look" is truly unlike any other freshwater fishing show and will leave audiences mesmerized and yearning for more.

I enjoyed Kim's show so much, that last year I set my cell phone calendar to go off and remind me.
The Wednesday and Friday show I couldn't watch due to work.
Too busy learning how to use the GPS to figure out the record on the VHS.
But seriously. Hook and look is a neat program.
I think it is the best fishing show on T.V. It shows what is going on down underneath that you really can't see. It helps give perspective to the fish finder. It's made me a better bassfisherman. Those are usually the shows I like to watch. I watch shows that give me knowledge to take with me on my next trip.
I didn't see Stricker on the seminar schedule for the Ultimate Fishing Show.
BD ;D
great show. It's cool to see lakes that you actually fish too!
It looks like a great season!
Shoot! I read this thread too late! Gotta catch the replay. Thank heaven for DVR too.
Hook & look is an awesome show. Even my wife finds herself glued to it. She says it reminds her of "Jaques Costeau" when she was a kid. I've learned so much by watching. I especialy loved the St. Clair river episode; watching how far those smallies follow a bait was incredible.
Only one thing that frustrates me. I wish I could hand in a list of all the baits I want to see moving through the water in different settings. There's just so much to learn...
I was going through and setting my DVR last night...Alot of the good fishing shows are starting up this week..Bass pros, Hook and Look, Bass edge, Day on the lake, Worlds greatest fishing show..etc etc..
I love my DVR..My wife got it while I was deployed so she could tape shows for me...I thought I would shut it off when i got home...NO WAY!!!! I don't know how I ever lived without it...
I was surprised to see Stricker on Lake Geneva. I have fished that lake several times while visiting my sister-in-law. They definitely have some chunk largies in that lake...........but you ought to see the smallies. They are huge. It is not a St. Clair or Erie but a great lake to fish if you can ever get up there. I usually fish it two to three times a year. That has always been the reason to drag my boat up to northern Illinois where my sister-in-law lives. She is about 35 minutes south of Lake Geneva. Can't wait to get up there this spring.
BD ;D
hmmm...checked the DVR today. No Hook n Look? I guess I have to check my settings again.
It was on at 1500 hours (3pm). Great show. Watched it again.
BD ;D

I talked with Kim at the fishing show yesterday and let him know how much I enjoy the TV program. I told him that of all the fishing programs I TIVO (and that is a lot), his is the only one my wife will watch with me. He says he gets that a lot. It is an interesting program for the angler and the boat rider.
Kim is a really nice guy. He talked about how they film the show and how much work it is to capture the video of the fishing and the underwater.
He showed us some pics on his cell phone of his chevy tow vehicle after they hit some black ice a few weeks ago and rolled it. Luckily everyone came out ok and luck the dive tanks were in the boat and not bouncing around the truck.

Thanks for joining GreatLakesBass.com. Kim checks in and reads the comments here when he can. I have more information and some pictures about his unfortunate accident on the GL Blog: www.greatlakesbass.com/glblog/
Thanks for having me - a couple guys at the show asked if I was on this site, so I had to see what it was all about. I'm hoping to make it a regular stomping ground. Planning on fishing the Michigan BFL tournaments this year as a co-angler and hoping to get some info and tips from the regulars. You've got a great site and it looks like some really great forum members.
I happened on the pics this morning, they are the same ones he showed us.
Thanks for the compliments. They are a great bunch of forum members (well, except maybe for hunlee, but it takes all kinds ;D ). Kim was kind enough to send me the pics shortly after we all made it back to Michigan. We were more fortunate when we came through that stretch, but I know we saw 5 or 6 other trailers and trucks off the road and most of them had rolled. yikes!
Saw the latest show last night. Very nice one on site fishing. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Good job Danny!! (You too Kim ;D )
It is a great fishing show its so in-depth. Ive seen both new episodes and they were great. Too see that many fish under boat docks(piers) is incredible. The sight fishing episode is invaluable. If you hit that sweet spot everytime your money! I truly enjoy it. I seen the City Limits show a little later what a true joke! I love IKE but cmon! (I seen the one on the Potomac). There is no excuse to have bleeped out words in a fishing show. I dont care how competitive you are, have some respect! No wonder Ranger Boats dropped him.-skeeterman-
Ike seems still very popular, but my wife said something similar about never recalling hearing someone beeped once, let alone so many times on a fishing show. Every now and then, in the heat of 'battle' I've probably let something slip by, but I do try to keep it to a minimum enough that few people have actually heard me slip. I wouldn't want it to get back to my Momma... :o
I think everyone does it ( no, not everyone...i do actually know a few people who dont use naughty words ) but they seem to show Ike doing it the most. But this year between FLW and Bassmasters I have seen (or heard, whatever) Rick Clunn, Kenyon Hill, David Dudley, Brian Snowden, Swindel, and a handful of others get bleeped during tournament coverage. The biggest surprise to me was when they did Rick Clunn. I think it might have been the KY lake event, but maybe it was another. I dont know him personally and have never met him officially but he just never struck me as the type of guy who would swear in front of a camera. It made him seem more human.
I know when i am having a real bad day on the water, there are times when one might think i have tourettes but i try to save my real bad moments for when there is no one else around us. That way its between myself, my partner, and god.
McCarter himself :-\'
I heard he said 'pooperscooper' but not on good authority. It does make some people seem more human (maybe some others are 'too' human?). I try to live by the 'everything in moderation' credo though I do not drink alcohol (maybe a glass of wine every other year or so), smoke or do any type of drugs. My brain cells are too important to me and need no extra challenges.
Im a bit of a potty mouth. It has gotten much better since my daughter was born. But in my defense, i have worked in a steel factory since i was 17 years old. The things i have seen and heard would corrupt any young mind.
