I know he had a dog in some segments but I don't remember the species. He traveled all over the earth filming segments. He was on the air over 25 years and stopped, I believe, in 06. I especially remember him fishing with and interviewing Ted Williams. I believe he also fished with Bobby Knight some. For about 6 episodes in 07 they showed old shows which ended with a roast of him in Arkansas. Forrest Wood and many others honored him.
Virgil Ward was on the air back in the 1960s. Back in those days they kept most of the fish and I remember Ward having a clip style metal stringer handing over the side of the boat. Ward is the originator of the Beetle Spin, one of the best pond baits of all time.
