Some of It Is Real
It can be difficult to play a true-to-life fisherman when the cameras are constantly rolling and the show’s producers want to capture every fight you are inevitably going to have with your co-workers. However, what you might not realize is that some of the footage you see, including the fights and arguments, were real.
And by real, we mean the show’s producers played no role in getting two or more people to bicker and sometimes lay hands on each other. Of course, it made for entertaining TV, but we’re fairly certain even the producers didn’t want anyone to accidentally throw someone else overboard.
