Long Beach, January 28, 2013 – With more and more Americans hooked on fishing and other outdoor activities, the 2013 edition of the 67th annual Fred Hall Show – The Ultimate Outdoor Experience is expected to reel in tens of thousands of attendees.
The week-long event, scheduled March 6-10, 2013 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif., will feature nearly 600 exhibitors (almost 10,000 products), over 400seminars, and some of the most highly engaging, unique and interactive family-fun entertainment and activities found anywhere in the world.
The Fred Hall Show – The Ultimate
Outdoor Experience – is the world’s largest consumer fishing show, the largest
boat show in the Western United States, and California’s largest travel show.
The show’s attendees will enjoy the Kid’s Fish Free Trout Pond, the popular
Dock Dogs and Great American Duck Races, air gun and archery ranges, laser shot
games, saltwater and freshwater mobile aquariums, three large touch tanks, a
dry suit dive tank, and free fly fishing and casting lessons (including adult
casting range and contest).
The Phil Friedman Outdoors booth will be broadcasting live from the Fred Hall Show for several hours each day. The Phil Friedman Outdoors All Stars will be on hand to answer all your questions about tuna fishing, local fishing, surf fishing, Fishing with Phil, lake fishing, free diving, kayacking, travel to BAJA,
In addition, the Phil Friedman Outdoors booth will have free raffle for you to win a trip for 4 to La Paz, with hotel, fishing, diving and more with Tailhunter International. You can sign up for Phil's Private boater GPS service as well as join the Phil Friedman Outdoors Club. You can also purchase fishing trips at a trmendous discount and listen to a live radio show.
Also returning this year is precision knife thrower, Jack Dagger – The King of Fling – and The Sporting Chef, Scott Leysath, the world’s leading expert in cooking fish and game. Hundreds of seminars, panel discussions and demonstrations will also take the stage during the event, including the Ultimate Eastern Sierra Experience, The Ultimate Salt Water Experience and the Ultimate Bass Fishing Experience.
One of this year’s many dynamic displays will be a 427-pound , world class yellow fin tuna, caught off the coast of Mexico in December 2012. The tuna, which was caught on 130-pound fishing line, is also an all-tackle record. Mustad Hook Co. will present the winning fisherman, Guy Yocom, with a $1 million check during the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach. A 445-pound yellow fin tuna, which is the largest fish ever caught (strict industry regulations disqualified that catch) will also be mounted and on display. If that isn’t fishy enough, show attendees will also get an up-close look at the 1,000-pound blue fin tuna caught off the coast of Nova Scotia in November 2012. Photo opportunities with all three catches will be available.
“Avid anglers are going to be very excited,” said Bart Hall, producer of The Fred Hall Show – The Ultimate Outdoor Experience. “This will be the first time many people, including myself, have seen fish this size.”
The show also promises celebrity entertainment, including Dave Marciano, captain of the boat Hard Merchandise, in National Geographic’s popular fishing reality series Wicked Tuna.
Captain Marciano will be appearing and signing autographs at the Accurate Fishing booth on Friday and Saturday of the Long Beach show. Other new features in this year’s Fred Hall Show include a climbing wall in conjunction with the Sierra Recreation Center, and a display by famous extreme sports photographer Christian Pondella.
For Hall, the show is all about getting families back into the great outdoors.
“Outdoor activities can be enjoyed by
everyone,” Hall said. “This show is about promoting outdoor recreation and we
are getting more kids and families involved. Our goal is to keep them going
outside – enjoying hiking, fishing, boating, camping, diving, hunting and
climbing.”
The number of Americans enjoying the outdoors has increased over the last few years. More Americans hunted, fished and watched wildlife in 2011 than five years earlier, according to the latest statistics released by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Here are some fast facts from the Agency’s final 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, which was released in late December 2012:
· More than 90 million U.S. residents
16-years old and older participated in some form of
wildlife-related recreation in 2011; that is up three percent from five years earlier. The
increase was primarily among those who fished and hunted.
· Wildlife recreationists spent $144.7 billion in 2011 on their activities, which equated to
one percent of the Gross Domestic Product. Of the total amount spent, $49.5 billion was
trip-related, $70.4 billion was spent on equipment, and $24.8 billion was spent on other
items such as licenses, land leasing and ownership.
· The number of sportspersons rose four percent over the last five years. The data showed
that 33.1 million people fished, 13.7 million hunted, and 71.8 million participated in at
least one type of wildlife-watching activity such as observing, feeding or photographing
wildlife.
One big change in the outdoor recreation industry is that more women are now involved in previously male-driven outdoor activities such as fishing. For example, there were 8.9 million female anglers in the United States in 2011, compared to 7.6 million in 2006.
Sports and outdoor activities, such as fishing, can cross all generations, said Hall.
“After my father died 12 years ago, I
came to the show that day and I had dozens of people come up to me and tell me
‘I caught my first fish at the show and my son caught his first fish at the show.’”
“When I fish, I release most of what I catch,” Hall added. “The ones I keep I eat. That’s the idea. There’s nothing quite as good as catching your own fish and cooking it. If you want fresh sashimi you could catch it, filet it and eat it right there, fresh out of the ocean.”
Hall was only 1-year old when his late father, Fred, launched the first of the Fred Hall Shows in 1946 at Gilmore Stadium in Los Angeles. Back then, the show was even popular among “Hollywood” cowboys such as John Wayne and Roy Rogers, and cowgirl/actress Dale Evans. Much has changed since then, including the industry.
“There has been a lot of consolidation,” Hall said. “But there are still a lot of great companies out there that are involved. So many people in this industry love the outdoors and that passion is still driving even the biggest companies.”
All of the proceeds from the Fred Hall Show – The Ultimate Outdoor Experience, are donated to support the fishing and boating industries, including protecting angler access and opportunities and clean water initiatives.
