    Re: Anyone remember Let's Go Fishing with Bruce Carter

    From the shows I have seen I see Stan sitting with Hari showing his photographs of the various Big Catches that took place over the weekend. Some are from Keewalo Basin, Honolulu Harbor, Magic Island, etc. I think he was primarily the photographer, though his role on the show expanded more after Bruce had his falling out with the station and left.

    I believe Dean Kinoshita was the cameraman when Hari and Stan did the show without Bruce and Bob Pritchard was the producer/director.

    Stan was telling me that Hari had one of those Dan Ackroyd (when he played Julia Child on SNL) moments where he cut himself pretty bad and the blood from both Hari and the fish was getting all over the place. I guess they pardon the pun cut some of the film so these segments werent shown on camera and Hari even took his bandage off so not to confuse the viewers as to why he didn't have it on earlier in the show.

      Sadly Channel 2 dumped most of the shows in a dumpster over 20 years ago. Shame on them!!

      I've also put out feelers to reach Hari at Fresh Island Fish but havent heard back from them yet.

        Update:

        I had a nice chat over the phone with Stan Wright yesterday reminiscing about the Let's Go Fishing series.

        Fresh Island Fish contacted me and I'll be speaking with Hari this week as well.

        Question: Do you think people would watch reruns of the old Let's Go Fishing series by chance?

          Since you asked, I was a fan at the time, but would not watch it now as a rerun. But clips of it would be fun to see, maybe incorporated into some other program.

            Thanks for your honest opinion. I'm wondering if a Best of Let's Go Fishing show would go over well with old clips shown as well as interviews with Stan, Hari and others involved in the show. In two years the show will celebrate it's 40 anniversary since it debuted in 1969. So a retrospective program is a possibility during that time.

            Sadly when Bruce Carter was let go by KHON in a fit of rage he went home and burned all of his films and shows.

              I think we would watch the one's that show Hawaii people catching fish in Hawaiian waters.

              Since there isn't much left now, actually seeing people pull in the big ones, especially when shore fishing, would be amazing to most old timers memories and most youngens fantasies.

                "Let's Go Fishing" reminds me a lot of this show:

                  I think the current version of the show is looking for a new host.

                    Update:

                    Talked with Hari today, he doesn't even have the shows from the Bruce Carter years as well. It seems as if I have stumbled onto something really rare and special.

                    Loved to hear stories about the old days from both Stan and Hari, hopefully Channel 2 will do a special retrospective on Let's Go Fishing in the coming years.

                      Maybe in the stellar meaning of life there was a good reason why these lost episodes remain lost.

                        There are no copies of the Don Ho daytime show remaining either.

                          So Don Ho has no tapes of his own series then? I haven't been looking hard for that series but also didn't realize it was LOST either.

                                Sponsored by Olympia Beer! Mutual of Omaha often followed it.

                                Bruce Carter passed away, but not too long ago.
