Love these old videos they bring back so many good memories of my childhood and Harold knight was the icing on the cake watched him and David for years to
Two pioneers of two different outdoors sports, none better at what they do. I have talked to Harold a lot and just as good of a guy as there is and I’m sure the same is true about Hank, luv these videos!
I remember seeing this live on TV way back when. Before DVR and VOD. You had to be sitting there when it came on. Great TV. The 80’s and 90’s were the pinnacle of bass fishing. Maybe slightly into the 2000’s.
Ill take 87 88 89 bass tournaments everytime vs todays tournament "meta". Was the pinnacle of bass fishing hands down! Some of the best lakes in the country absolutely in there prime. Sam Rayburn! What a time to been a sportsman
This video is nearly 40yrs. old and there were a few quail where I live back then. I’m about an hour and a half South of lake Barkley, just wonder if there are any quail left up that away??
I show these old fishing shows to my 13-year-old son, and he can’t believe how much actual fishing they show and how little time they spend on all the other nonsense.
On this 1987 episode of Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine from Season 3, host Hank Parker talks about fishing on Kentucky Barkley Lake with Harold Knight, as they fish for Barkley Lake bass.👍
Back when there was honor in the sport.....(because there as honor in the country the bred these fishermen). It was truly about fishing. There showing all aspects of nature. And Kentucky/Barkley are like any other lake across the country today.... The fishing on those bodies of water are NOTHING like they used to be. I'm old enough to remember this episode. They are being pulverized with pressure, and entitled trash who respect nothing, let alone catch and release. You can even see the spiritual side of fishing in shows like this, back then. There are probably 10-15 TH-cam channels of kids, posing as anglers, who can't so much as launch their boat without using FFS. They don't get it....and have NO clue as to what this sport is about. You DAMN-sure don't see shots of the surrounding nature. Because, they don't care. It's some kid with a Go Pro, and his FFS. Our country is beyond broken, and the toxic culture that's caused it has infected fishing like it has literally everything else.
Only gonna get better heard Garmin coming out with some other new stuff you can't stop technology I hate computers but are they going away NOPE!! And it's NOT 1984 anymore things change fishing changes everything changes you can't stop it
@@slabbusterrtr7690 @slabbusterrtr7690 JFC....it wouldn't surprise me if you type that with one hand down your pants. "It's not 1984 anymore"....???? That's your stupid reply? First off....THAT'S WHAT THIS VIDEO IS! You came to a video about 1987, with a pro from that era, who also says FFS is bad for the sport, and STILL watched it. So, you're lazy, entitled, hypocritical, excruciatingly STUPID.....AND have a co-dependence and desperation, SO BONE-DEEP you need a video game to catch a fish. And, you try and justify it all by saying "It's not1984 anymore, dude....things change". Btw...you're illiterate, as well. *You are literally the poster-child for FFS (......and Planned Parenthood for that matter). You're the kind of loser that would try and justify sex-trafficking minors by saying: "It's not 1984 anymore, things evolve...". And, the biggest irony of all is that you clueless, pus-sacs are destroying the very fisheries YOU fish. The fact that someone like you is gainfully employed to the point of even being able to own a boat with this desperate technology is disturbing in and of itself. Speaking of change.... Isn't there some kind of computer-automation to do whatever menial minimum wage job you have? I bet you wouldn't be rubbing your knob over that kind of "change" would you. See how "change" works, genius? It's real simple. You may not realize it now, given how imbedded you are in your world of entitled, co-dependence and hypocrisy. But, there's only so much "I don't give a f^^^" to go around before it starts taking everyone down, INCLUDING you. *The people that respect this sport, and the fisheries, themselves may not be able to stop you scabs from using FFS....but, we can damn-sure make you wish you had. Chastising you knobs is also not only legal, but "evolving", as well.* At the end of the day....if you're THAT desperate to catch a fish, you can always go to the stocked trout pond in Bass Pro Shops. It's free, and they'll even provide the pole for you (something else you probably think you're entitled to). It's meant for toddlers, so you'll be the dumbest one there, but once you tell them that "it's not 1984 anymore, and times change"....I'm sure they'll accommodate you.
@@slabbusterrtr7690 things changed for Rome too. USA is traveling nthe same road rome did. The end destination will be the same for usa as it was for Rome.
@@phillamoore157 Wow! You put into words my feelings about these "pro fisherboys" They are why I quit fishing tournaments. To much crying and whining, if you beat them, they accuse you of cheating.
@phillamoore157 man that hurt I live and fish here on Ky Lake and I agree with the pressure but entitled trash not all and where I'm at around Jville area it would be minority. Your bound to be referring to young folks.but again not all young uns not mine anyhow . Reckon it's on how they're raised. I'm 52 not sure of your age but look at the new tech this way . I imagine you may have only had a flasher at one time but as graphs/ depthfinders improved you probably got em as they did. If you fished tournaments I'm sure you have and in reality it's bout same thing. Even are reels rods boats and trolling motors and all have improved our trucks and just bout everything I'd say. I'm not a big supporter of FFS but I can understand how all things improve and it be hard for me to hold against my 20 year old self in 2024 getting the new tech and if you were to be honest with yourself being 20 yrs old this day and age you'd be live scoping don't ya magine. I don't think I could learn all before I'm too old to fish so I decided to stick with what I know lol. I'm not fussing just trying get ya to see in a little different way is all. Them guys on Bass Elites that are the older ones have realized they're gonna have to use and learn to use if they want to keep up. I would like to see B.A.S.S. put some limit on em maybe some tournaments they can't use FFS or something. I agree take away the young guys FFS they'd be lost . Just think bout what you used at 20 yrs old versus what ya use now it's really no different as far as progression goes. Good safe fishin to ya. B.A.S.S. college ran out of Gilbert today i believe with 210 boats 22 lbs leading 6 lb big fish and I had one go over 7 lbs today with my little ole Garmin DV lol few good brown fish to. I'm sure all them boys used FFS and had all beat on big fish all 210 boats lol . They some things never replace knowledge on a given lake hell I don't need one for depth anymore lol .
Boy hank im old enough to remember those days seems like a 100 years ago on how far we have come with tech FFS spot lock TMs power poles mapping etc etc reckon how many fish you wouldve caught in 1984 if you had all that then lol
Hank Parker always knew how to find fish , and catch them , He didn’t need FFS . He relied on Old School methods of experience and know how !! He also recently made his points known on FFS . I learned alot watching Hank’s show growing up . I still use Old school methods as well . The Mapping and Power poles you mentioned are great tools though and FFS. Is as well to an extent but FFS (Live Scope ) should only be used when Crappie fishing in my opinion . It’s almost like playing a video game. Anyone can do it now. The spot lock that you mentioned is a very good tool to help keep you on your fishing spot that you found using old school methods . I do believe in using transducers on your trolling motors that has side imaging and downing imaging I just don’t agree with the whole live FFS.
When Bass fishing was Bass fishing, I never missed an episode. Gotta love Hank!
I love watching these old videos, they take me back to when I was a kid 🎣 you're awesome, Hank Parker 👍
Exactly. The theme song gives brings me back to a simpler time and when fishing seemed so pure. Love it.
I got goosebumps hearing that intro song again! Thank you for uploading this
This is when Bass fishing made perfect sense
Great memories of the pureness of youth and fishing..Thanks Hank Parker
Love these old videos they bring back so many good memories of my childhood and Harold knight was the icing on the cake watched him and David for years to
The throwback videos are great. I enjoy watching fishing from a simpler time. And all those old school trucker hats are fantastic. 👍🏻
Two pioneers of two different outdoors sports, none better at what they do. I have talked to Harold a lot and just as good of a guy as there is and I’m sure the same is true about Hank, luv these videos!
Seeing them big 10 gallon ball caps, back in they day, definitely brings back some memories 😂
Thanks for the memories and thanks for the videos hope you're doing well and still fishing
I remember seeing this live on TV way back when. Before DVR and VOD. You had to be sitting there when it came on. Great TV. The 80’s and 90’s were the pinnacle of bass fishing. Maybe slightly into the 2000’s.
as a 92 baby i grew up watxhing this stuff with my papaw all my life. core memories are the best memories
Thank You so much for making these shows available. Harold is a great friend of mine. Love seeing the podcast also
RIP Steven Wallace, Joey Rogers, Jeremy Gordon, Dale Garner, David Lawrence, Jesse Lawrence and Patrick Perry! Thanks Hank for sharing!
I hope your theme song plays when I enter the Pearly Gates. It absolutely soothes my soul and immediately sends me back to childhood!
Thanks for posting these. ❤❤❤
A time when fisherman were happy!
Man, hearing his intro music took me to an awesome place! How i miss it
This is great. I was a young 24 yr old when this came out.
Best fishing intro out of the bunch; Roland, Jimmy, Bill etc
Ill take 87 88 89 bass tournaments everytime vs todays tournament "meta". Was the pinnacle of bass fishing hands down! Some of the best lakes in the country absolutely in there prime. Sam Rayburn! What a time to been a sportsman
Just loved ur tv show back in the day...did by chance u film a trip on lake jackson in Tallahassee years ago?...love ur channnel
Now that good old Days man how time Has changed
I used to watch those fishing shows every weekend as a kid. I think I had every lure Bill Dance ever promoted.
Never missed an episode and still have Hank Parker’s Black Bass for the Super Nintendo
Grew up with this and I love it! Keep on putting this material out.
I ran it all over the GLs, on that very lake in this video and now run it on the NW FL, Ala an Ga lakes. Great guy, Hank is, and great boat!
This video is nearly 40yrs. old and there were a few quail where I live back then. I’m about an hour and a half South of lake Barkley, just wonder if there are any quail left up that away??
A guy I follow to this day! I have that boat but with a different motor...'87 Ranger 350v w/'87 Johnson 150GT
What a blast from the past 😎🫡

Hey Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine, would you upload full throwback episodes of Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine from Season 4 in 1988?👍
I miss them days
The golden days. No Electronics.
I mean there is electronics it’s just not advanced what we have today. Lol
When knowlege put fish in the boat, man i miss the good ole days.
I would love to find me one of those old hank parkers outdoor magazine hats.
Me too
That man could call in a tree stump if he wanted to
This is Huge! This has to be one of the oldest cases of spot burn I've ever seen.
Let's talk about that guy's hat in the Ranger commercial
Back when everything was just so much simpler.
Hey Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine, would you upload anymore full theowback episodes of Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine from Season 3 in 1987?👍
I still have some Hank Parker spinner baits
I just use spot lock and scope em.
Boy hank im old enough to remember those days seems like a 100 years ago on how far we have come with tech FFS spot lock TMs power poles mapping etc etc reckon how many fish you wouldve caught in 1984 if you had all that then lol
I'm glad this technology wasn't around back then.

in the 1980's the brim of a baseball cap was ultimately useless
My. Dad come outside Hank coming on Boys and. Boats come long ways I Had 4 rangers man that fun
why doesn't he just hit spot lock.
These trucker hats are killing me. I forgot everyone wore them, including me. Lol
no ffs...👌
Before the world went to shit
Real fishermen… none of the garmin and other crap that “fishermen” these days use
