I got a DVD from the library about fishing the Pt.Defiance area by Doc T-Ho-Ke. I remember watching this in the late 70's early 80's. Does anyone know what happened to him?

He's recovering commercial ghost nets.

Ghost nets...whaaaa?

Seems like he lives out in the Port Orchard area. There was a thread about him on the old board but I can't remember the specifics.

A quick google turned up one of his videos for sale on Ebay.

I fished with him twice back in the 90's up out of Sekiu for springers. I have the same VHS and watch it fairly often as some of his tips have worked as of late. He was/is a big fan of salmon fly's, fast speed etc. He aslo had a line of tackle that was in the Kitsap Sports Store for a number of years.

I got the doc on the phone as we speek, he wants to know what anwsers,tips and gossips you want to know right now..

I was just wondering what had happened to him since I knew that the show I got from the library was 20 or more years old. His fishing log he talked about was from 1969 and 1970.
Is he still using the same type of flies and rigs he did in the film?
What does he think of the decline in the fishing from then to now?
At that point in his life he caught a 21 pound king and that was the largest he had caught up to that point, has he caught anything larger in Puget Sound since then? That kind of stuff... :lol:

His videos were the best Puget Sound fishing vids EVER! We used to watch them during our lunch breaks. Some of the very best fishing tips I ever got were from him. If he comes out with any new stuff on DVD let us know because I can't find them anywhere!

Well, Pierce County Library has some but they are for people to borrow not buy. There in one on ebay on the San Juan islands $39.99.

I have also seen some of his vids like the blackie fishin' at Jeff head one I recall. I also remember buying some of his setups he had for sale at the Puyallup sportsman's show like 20 years ago. Good to hear he's in on the ghost net removals Tup:

The one on ebay is a VHS. I'd like to get some on DVD since I don't have a VHS hooked up to any of the TV's anymore. I have a buddy who used to have a bunch of VHS tapes maybe I'll give him a call and have a few put on DVD.

I picked up a booklet at sportco that T Ho Kee wrote, it was sponsored by an oil co. In the booklet there was a hook modification that he called "kill em in the brain". I considered the concept strange.

It was probably written when we felt that the fish might last forever.

I think the library put them on DVD to preserve them (the originals are VHS tape) They aren't the best quality DVD. I was wondering after 20 sum years if the information about the fishing is still good. What do you think?

As good as it ever was. wink:
