The way it's put together is kind of a jumbled mix of footage. Fish jumping, fish getting hooked, fish going in the boat. Fast forward action of fish being reeled in. There's not a lot of casting out, reeling it along and getting the bite footage, but I didn't get the impression that it was staged footage. I think they had a lot of footage to condense down so they just cut out the reeling parts.

There are quite a few cool shots of fish blowing and chasing topwaters. My favorite scene was when Shaun Bailey sees a chaser, drops his rod, grabs another one - fires out and gets the fish. The one where he gets bit while fixing his hat is funny too.

I figure some of these guys must read the forum so maybe they can give more info.
