Juggin': a documentary?

I'm thinking of shooting a documentary series on jug fishing. I was thinking of coming at from a historical perspective as it is one of the few traditional, artisanal forms of fishing still in wide practice today.

In planning a three part series where are some questions I thought were interesting to answer:

Part I: Where did jug fishing come from? What are it's origins? how is it practiced today?

Part II: It is destructive? Is it over done? Can it be practised sensibly with conservation in mind?

Part III: Is it fun? Is it challenging? Why is appealing to so many people?

I figure there are plenty of videos on how to make jugs, how to jug fish. I want to do a documentary-style series to vindicate the practice and showcase it as a last standing artisanal method that should be preserved for future generations.

I want to know what you fellas think? What do you think should or shouldn't be including is such a series?

From a historical perspective, I doubt it was practiced before we had jugs. :)

Go for it I enjoy your videos.

Something can be historic even if it's modern. This forum is historic in the history of crappie fishing because it's the largest, longest online public forum for crappie fishing. Well the concept of an open, public forum goes back to antiquity, Ancient Rome and the like, not to mention the Founding Fathers like George Wythe and Thomas Jefferson.

One thing modern jug fishing has proven is that you don't have to have a jug to go jug fishing. Why can't cut tree limbs have been used? That's all a noodle jug is: a synthetic tree limb made of plastic and foam instead of wood. Yes, all that is speculation, but it still doesn't change the fact that you have a line and hook and bait. That is a way of fishing that goes back a very long ways.

Even if there is no direct long-standing tradition passed down, it's still worth saving and passing on. If the investigation turns up nothing, then it still makes for a good story. No one does stuff like this for catfishermen, so I'm oging to do something about that.

Go for it. It will be interesting.
