Joe Brooks and Curt Gowdy, the first American Sportsman Show, casting into the wind

A video clip from the very first American Sportsman TV show, 1963 pilot program. It was filmed as a fishing competition between two Argentines, Tito Hosman and Erick Gornick versus two Americans, Joe Brooks and Curt Gowdy on Lago General Paz, Argentina. During a horrific wind storm the fisherman were unable to compete, so Joe gives a casting demonstration… into the wind.
