Nosfer, you were 100% correct that I do enjoy the show.  I think I've mentioned it a couple of times here at SV.  It's a surprisingly nice blend of zoology (remember the one when the bears were highly interested in what he was doing?  ), marine biology, marine ecology, fishing, and critical thinking.  And as opposed to cryptozoology…he actually FINDS his quarry.  He produces results time and time again.  Have to love and respect that. 

Two things that kind of concern me.  I'm not sure how many people here are into fishing.  I fully realize that you can kind of work the "he's searching for the unknown" angle, but…it's still just a cool fishing show (if that isn't some sort of oxymoron  ).  Does it truly have a place here?

The second thing…it would pain me to no end to see it in the same ranks as GHA, FoF,  GA, MQ, and the rest of the schlock.  It has really nothing to do with the paranormal or pseudoscience.  No matter what the local stories say, do you really think that he doesn't know what he's fishing for?  I think he knows exactly what he's going for and just goes out and catches a couple.  Now that's cool, don't get me wrong.  I really like the show for that.  But…putting it in between PS and Ghost Lab just makes me queasy.

So if the exclusive forum for RM is voted down, then perhaps just a big thread in the Nothing To See Here forum.  "Freaky experiences that turned out to have normal explanations" seems to be a good place for it.  It's kind of the gist of the show really.

Either way, I'd contribute to the RM forum/thread.  The only problem with the show?  It always makes me want to go out to the Bass Pro Shop…
