Facts of Fishing

At the age of 21, Dave Mercer approached a small yet growing TV station with a new concept in mind. Mercer didn't want to make a season of half-hour shows. He wanted to make sixty second short clips giving various fishing techniques. His popularity boomed, which eventually led him to making a 30-minute TV show titled Facts of Fishing THE SHOW.[2]
