1/2 hour show....15 minutes of Q content, (the other 15 min was a different segement), now take out the comercials....and I get about 9-10 minutes.

Seemed to mainly be a plug for his mag as he mentioned it a couple of times.

Fun to see the Q though.

Similar to his mag...

Thanks to Maverick I finally saw the program  . I was a little disappointed--maybe it didn't help I watched the Hawkeyes get beat right after  .
So here is my unsolicited review Anyway, as others have stated it was mostly Stu leaning  on his paddle talking a lot with some interviews thrown in by the other paddlers. Very little action, a few fish pics--a walleye Stu said was 29", but looked more like 25" (maybe TV made it look smaller). Although the show was a 1/2 hour it seemed with advertisements and other stuff it was more like 15 minutes of footage.
So overall it was okay, interesting to me because I have been on all of those lakes, but I guess I would have liked to see more scenery, camp life, and some fishing video.

How many others tuned in tonight at 6 pm only to realize it aired at 6 pm EST?

Saw it today too Maverick

I too thought it was more of a vignette on what the Q was all about...not much fishing.  That was a nice Pike and Walleye!  I wondered how much "earlier" they had been caught, before filming was able to take place?

Mid June....fishing looks good.

I watched the program.  It was more of Stu talking than it was actual fishing.  It interviewed 3-4 of the guys on the trips and they told why they went to the BW/Q.  Stu talked about Sweat Equity a few times.  It did show some pics of the larger fish caught.  I liked it obviously, as it was about Quetico and the Boundary Waters, but it was more of an interview than I thought it would be. 

I don't recall that it named any lake names, just talked about Quetico in general.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!      Chilling!!!

There's THAT sushi picture again!!

Did Vince Lombardi fish? I'd always keep score when I went with a particular friend 'cause it seemed to me he was mathematically challenged and that would always tick me off. First fish...biggest fish... (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) my most memorable fish of all time. Funny, it now looks even bigger than I remember.

Mav,

I got to agree with the underlying sentiment you've expressed.

Seemed a bit like a meat factory tally to me.

QP & I DID search Conmee for their Honey Hole (based upon clues in previous BWJ issues) but w/o luck.  We were largely unsuccessful, however, because QP was using GULP & I was using lures larger than most of the fish we caught.  QP caught every bass in the lake... despite informing me as we portaged in that there WERE NO bass in Conmee.  Unfortunately, he was fishing for walleyes. 

I, myself, was fishing for Pollyhumpers.  We didn't catch any of them, neither.  I suspect Stu would have made quite a fuss about it had he caught one of those (OR, one had caught HIM).  So, don't expect to see THAT kind of action on his video, either.
