One More Cast with Shaw Grigsby 2024
Sfritr reply :
Just got done watching yet another sponsor driven fishing show but I have a strange question:
Why does Shaw always have on gloves??????
Did he have skin cancer at one point? He's fishing in Fla in 85degree weather with gloves on
What's up with that?
zach t reply :
The chemicals on your hand are transfered anytime you touch your baits. He is prob trying to keep that from happening.
With as clear as the water was in that episode(I assume you mean the Lake Ontario episode), then the bass need little more help than sight alone.
That being said, I completely agree with you. You think he was pushing power pole just a little? HAHA! I have never seen anyone so excited, fish after fish.
Although I have to admit, it was strangley odd how many fish were swarming around their boat.......just sayin'
Jake. reply :
I remember hearing that he has a heart condition, and the medication he takes for it increases the risk of overexposure from the sun. So he wears the gloves to cover his skin.
fishfordollars reply :
Heart condition is putting it mildly. He had bypass surgery a couple of years ago.
zach t reply :
I hate to hear that. Guess I was miles off.

That's why I love watching him on TV. He strikes me as someone who genuinely loves fishing, and would be out there doing it whether they paid him or not.

x2 I think it would be a blast to fish with him. 8-)
RyneB reply :
One of his sponsors is a company that makes gloves that are for keeping your hands from getting sun burned.

Well, I'll be darn. Good thing he has a great outlook on life!
stratos 375 reply :
no doubt about it, he's a master of the sight fishin game and a good all around fisherman, but the squealin high pitched fake TV voice gets on my nerves after a few minutes. I'd rather watch a Sanford & Son re-run. He reminds me a little bit of Michael Jackson with the gloves & face wrap. Maybe he's getting weird in his old age like Clunn did. That's the effect of the sun beatin down on your cranium for 30 years.
Sfritr reply :
I never thought about protection from overexposure. That make sense. i agree about pushin the power pole. At one point I thought the show would go like this
Shaw: "I really have to take a leak, watch as I put the POWER POLE down so I don't hit my leg."
Announcer: " POWER POLE, so you can hit the cheerio every time.... (fade to a sunset)

Even my wife looked up from Facebook and said:
"That guy is trying a little hard. It's getting on my nerves"
swampz reply :
you got to love when he goes from normal voice to OH MY GOD HE HAMMERED IT, that is what makes the show great ;D
shootermcbob reply :
He seems very positive. He has been around for a long time and, as I get older, I find myself rooting for the older folks more and more. That said, I too could do without the "high-pitched" sales pitch. I could do without the sales pitch all together, but apparently it is a necessary evil.

Quoteyou got to love when he goes from normal voice to OH MY GOD HE HAMMERED IT, that is what makes the show great ;D
no you don't. in fact, his "excited" voice makes the show almost unwatchable. i really doubt he carries on like that during a tourney or when the camera isn't rolling.
hate to knock the guy too much, he seems like a super nice fella.
spinnerbaitking reply :
I met him at the Toronto Spring fishing show a few years ago, he seemed like a nice guy & talked to every body how stopped by the booth when I was there, lots of autographs signed

salmicropterus reply :
I have met Shaw a few times through a mutual friend and I drove a camera boat for one of the shows. He is an enthusiastic guy on and off the camera and what you see is no false front. Yes, he definitely is pushing product but that is part of the job of running a fishing show where the sponsors pay the production costs. I think at one time Strike King actually "owned" the show
kikstand454 reply :
i kinda wish shaws contract with strike king would expire so he could go and do other shows that are more informative and stuff. i mean, you hardly see him on that strike king show that van dam is on all the time. i think shaw is great and i too would love to spend a day fishing with him. esp during the spawn....
oh... and i think shaw mighta picked up wearing gloves from his inshore fishing life. i did. its hell on your hands spending that much time in the florida sun.
arul reply :
regardless, dude knows how to sell his sponsors... If I was in the Biz, I would definitely want him fishing my stuff with how well he pimps it...
I love his show- wish it weren't on Versus though...Directv doesn't carry.
Five-Alive reply :
Shaw stayed with a friend of a friend while fishing the Smith Mountain Lake tournament last year and the ones that hung out with him said he is truly a nice and sincere guy. I like Shaw and I don't think the excited voice is fake but I agree it can get on your nerves in short order. I agree with others that the sponsors are paying the bills and Shaw represents them well.
flyboy reply :
I saw Shaw Grigsby driving up the Florida Turnpike this afternoon just north of Orlando. I honked and waved but he looked at me like was a potential road rage maniac.
Revo_Carrot Stix reply :
My wife thought he was crying on one episode..."Look at that beautiful bass...he just inhaled the Strike King Red Eye Shad with those super sharp hooks!" (I couldn't resist...) 
Phranchise1213 reply :
I picked up shaw's book the other day on sale called "notes on fishing and life". It's actually a really good read if anyone has a chance to read it. He does seem like just a genuine dude who has been through a lot and really is taking advantage of his time on this planet.
SlateTundra reply :
He seems like a cool cat to fish with.
The tone of his voice when he gets all excited...does sort of gets to you after awhile, but hey...I'd rather have that than some of these other guys with no personality.
Olebiker reply :
I got the mail in the other day and found that my wife had ordered a Shaw Grigsby fishing video from Netflix for me. She was dismayed, though, when I told her it was the guy whose voice she complained about.
oteymc reply :
I love to watch any fishing show, and do when I happen to be inside when one is on. I don't even mind when someone is pitching a product, but you would think people would take it more seriously, and consider buying the product if the plugs were a little more subtle.
Then again, that may be the approach the sponsors are mandating to these guys.
SoFl-native reply :
What is up with the fake water sounds in that show? I think they are the only show that does that and it is the most annoying thing in the world. Somebody in that production company should be fired for that.
Tin reply :
This was brought up previously, I thought it was either skin cancer or he had Lyme disease treatments.
Either way the show is basically an infomercial for Strike King. Guy is a great sales-man and a great guy to chat with. Have had several opportunities to meet and talk with him and despite is annoying tendencies on tv, he is a great down to earth guy unlike a lot of others.

I literally laughed hysterically when i heard that....My wife was reading her book when i watched that and she had to look up at the TV for a second wondering what the heck i was watching.Even she laughed.
I say that all the time now to just random people.They'd be cracking up.You'd be surprise how funny that sounds.

Yeah, that's true and I don't really mind the high pitch intonations, because I interpret that as geniune excitement. You did forget, "Oh my God, he just PUMMELLED it. He just absolutely PUMMELLED it!" Right on, Shaw! 8-)

"...Don't jump...please don't jump! He's barely hooked! Stay with me...c'mon...OH THERE'S ONE RIGHT BEHIND HIM!"
