    Charlie was a terrific guy and exceptionally nice to me. I was a newbie to the TV industry and Charlie was very supportive in our dealings. As former owner of CHEK we had some dealings and worked on some projects together. Charlie always had great spirit. We last talked in 2006 as part of CHEK’s 50th anniversary. He means a lot to the legacy of CHEK and I only hope to do contribute my small part to that memory.

    A true fishing legend. My grandfather passed down a tape “Why fish strike” to me about 15 years ago, he has since passed away and I am now a father. My son and I have watched this same video and I still find it facinating. May you and my papa rest in peace and share fishing stories – Score one for bilge water!!

Please share your thoughts ...
