    Default Vigil Ward , who remembers?


    Just wondering who remembers the old Virgil Ward Championship Fishing show?
    The reason that I am bringing this up is that back in 1978 .. ish I helped to film a show at Plummer's Great Slave lake Lodge and I thought that it might be interesting to try and track down a copy of this tape. I don't think that I was ever in the final cut , but I drove the camera boat.
    If anyone has any info that may help track this down I would apprediate the help.
    Thanks Ken

    I remember Virgil! I watched his show when I was a kid.

    I think your best bet would be to contact Dan Galusha who did a documentary on Virgil:

    Here's something else I Googled:

    Sure, I remember watching him. In 1970 or so my dad got a pair of male Brittney Spaniel pups from him. They grew to be real hoss's. Still the biggest Brittney's I've ever seen. My dad and I shot a lot of quail over those two.

    Boy does that bring back some memories. He promoted Johnson spincast reels. I had to save up and buy a Sabra reel because of watching that show.

    He gave me one of those Johnson reels as part of my tip for the week.
    I remember it being green. He always fished with Bass Buster Jigs and Pork rine... I don't even think that he had a tackle box with him!
