Wonder if chumley Warner won

[@annakarolinalarson4213]

That looks a like a young Chris Yates who won the rod at the end, but he would have only been 15 if this is 1963? Impressive beard for a 15 year old!

[@portcullis5622]

It does look like Chris Yates. I think he was born with a beard!

[@YorkyOne]

@@portcullis5622 Actually, he looks more like Bob James.

Come on man at least leave fishing out of your divisive bullshit, please. Most people just want to chill out and celebrate life.👍

What's the name of those stands that these people rest the rods on?

[@M4Dru55ian]

These are called banksticks. The part at the top of a bankstick, that supports the rod, is known as a rod rest!

[@YorkyOne]

@@M4Dru55ian Used to be known as 'idle backs' in the old days.

I wish there were more condescending videos about fishing today. We could use a decrease in the number of people enjoying this "silly sport."

[@bigfishbigpond]

I wish there were a decrease in silly idiots commenting on a pastime /sport / lifestyle/ passion / obsession/ livelihood/ conservation movement / lifetime mental health aid and way of life they know absolutely nothing about. That’s just silly.
