I remember this tournament because it's the only BASS tournament I've ever went to watch. I wanted to see one of the fishermen compete at the time, Paul Elias. Paul had a few video's out which I rented over and over to watch and learn more about catching bass. I met him after the tournament and he signed his autograph for me. I'm going to have to do some checking around now because I think I took some pictures while I was there. Thanks for posting the video.
Man I don't even know if you still use this account but I just now stumbled across this and really appreciate you and your dad for making this available. Sorry to hear about him late as I may be, but from this footage I'm sure your dad was an awesome guy. Really appreciate it! Lew's uploaded a vid on their channel that had Lew Childre in it fishing here in Alabama way back in the 70's that I thought was fun to watch just seeing where it was then vs now. Thanks again.
this is bassmasters opening day. We have a clean slate but soon will be writing down the pounds and ounces for the anglers as the B.A.S.S. start a long trail on the road to the bassmasters classic the world championship of pro bass angling.
Cool to of come across this. Quit likely watched this when it was broadcasted back then. How the years fly. ;)
I like Hank Parker the pros have a special place in my heart.
What an awesome homage to your father and excellent tribute to Mr. Parker.
This is so incredibly cool. Thanks for sharing it with all us fans!
Thanks for posting this Bassmasters episode. I always enjoy watching these tournament programs from years ago.
Thanks for putting this up! Hank Parker is my favorite outdoors man, hands down.
Loved Hank then and love him now. Great Christian man.

Great vid! Hank is a great role model.
I really wish someone would put the old Hank Parker outdoor magazine show from the 80s on TH-cam. It would get a lot of attention
Glad you enjoyed! Appreciate you taking time to comment! Thanks.
I remember this one. Nice!
The Big 4 used to be Roland, Bill, Jimmy and Hank. 👍🏻🎣
