Thanks for posting that info.  Kim and Danny are both great guys and I am looking forward to seeing the new season of Hook and Look.  I (and my Tivo) was wondering when the new episodes would start.

Understand his feelings. We were on the same highway passing by were he wrecked by just a few hours too. The number of trucks and trailers off the road was scary.

The Great Lakes also definitely take their toll and it is very hard to be competitive if you can't give it 110% of your focus when you need to.

I look forward to more of the show and imagine Kim is not too old yet to forget my name... yet... ;D

I saw Kim and Danny out on St. Clair a couple of times last year.  Maybe I'll see him more.  I really enjoy his show.  It is my favorite.

They will be glad to hear that. They check in on what you all are saying about them from time to time on here.

Unfortunately the new episodes aren't going to do me any good - along with the rest of us victims of the Versus and DirecTV feud  >:(

I wonder if he will drop in at the BFLs, Strens or the BASS opens ????? I remember him during the Operation Bass/Redman days...

I can't say that I know Kim well, but I've met several times.

I've emailed him before with questions, and he's been most gracious with his time and knowledge.

The last couple of years I actually get up early one morning a week just to watch the new shows.  It is my favorite show as well.

To fish with him would be icing on the cake.  Hey, .......... there ya go.......

Kim, how about a show with a local unknown fisherman?
