I remember watching him fish on our local TV station as a kid. never forgot it....
I live near Teds old camp and we would always hear rumors of different guests he had secretly visiting him for a week or so. people have even claimed to have seen Marilyn Monroe sitting on the rocks in the tall grass.it gave us river people something to talk about.he was a very humble man.
Just found this video - I sailed 4 times in the 1990's on the Norway. I LOVED the ship and was hearbroken when they demolished it. I haven't cruised since. RIP you beautiful, elegant lady.
I'm all about John. P Ryan
The movie Strategic Air Command is very similar to Ted Williams' life. A star baseball player who served in WWII is called up to fly in the Korean War. So, Ted Williams is one of the greatest hitters of all time, an honored Marine pilot, and a great fly fisherman. An amazing person.
mi segunde madre 1989 thanks remember!
I worked for Jack Walters many years ago who had a cabin near Ted Williams and both fished together for some time. JackWalters was from Easton,Pa area
Martin, great film. What a life Ted had. Thanks for posting.

The ERA was turned down in Florida in 1975--I believe this was done prior to 1981--more like 1975
+Louise Shoen: Sorry, but I was there. I directed and produced the spot. Look at the slate "12/30/1981" okay? Not 1975. Maybe that was some other attempt to pass the ERA in Tallahassee?
Great video.If I could pick anyone to fish with it would be Ted Williams Not only a great Baseball player but A true american hero.Served his country as a Marine pilot missing his prime years as a ball player.Ive read just about every book ever written about Ted Williams and I have sense that tells me there is nothing he couldnt do.He kinda reminds me of a real life John Wayne.
+stratplayer53 : Ted always wanted John Wayne to play him in a Biographical movie. I'm sure John Wayne would have been honored to play the part of a real life war hero and baseball legend .
Martin Pitts I could'nt think of a better actor to be cast in the role of Ted Williams than John Wayne.I'm surprised that no one has ever done a Biographical movie of Ted Williams he led such an interesting life and was a unique character for sure
+stratplayer53: For the past thirty years John Underwood and I have tried to get a dramatic movie done about Ted's life. I've taken it around town here in Los Angeles about five times with no takers. Maybe some Studio will read your comments and come back to me!
Thank you all for your compliments. For a couple of the questions: The film was shot over a two year period from 1973 - 1974 and released by Sears in 1974. The US Library of Congress has the film in it's archives. All Ted's fishing tackle was his own brand from Sears. Ted tied his own flies. The guy with the tie was a typical fly fisherman in Scotland... where the sport is considered "high art." As Director, a great inspiration for me was Robert Flaherty and his classic about Irish fishermen, "Man of Aran." Ted was indeed the greatest hitter who ever lived, and a great guy who I am in awe of to this day for his intellect and his heart.
Guy was wearing a tie while he was fishing
Initially, I thought it was about a person who was odd being persecuted. The women at the end who seemed to develop an affinity for each other seemed a new (more uplifting) story. The music track is glorious. Wonder where this is shot, as the light has a dreamy quality.
Very well done
Does anyone know what year this video may have come out. Thanks
Thank you Marty...
Music by none other than Blue Weaver!!!
The Mime's Story On CZcams <czcams.com/video/xtfxhF-R57E/video.html>
Thank You for posting this up on CZcams....It isn't everyday one can hear two legends on the same video....Ted Williams of course, and the voice of this documentary, the legendary John Facenda who was called "the Voice of God" for his voice narrations for NFL films. Anyway Thank you again!!!!
the family loved watching this as our father is in here working at the hatchery
Gotta love the oldies...
Beautiful video. Thanks for the upload...
who is the narrator?
The voice is John Facenda from Philadelphia. The wonderful voice of the original NFL films.
I notice He's using a fiberglass rod, probably some Shakespeare prototype because I think He was a spokesperson for them. Does anybody know for sure, and possibly know what model it was? I think it's interesting, because he could afford the finest Bamboo rods out there at the time.
Shakespeare Wonderod. They didn't show the weight, but mine works great with an 8wt. line. 7wt. might be better. He probably wanted something better than a bamboo rod.
There's no place like home :)
Loved it, very informative.......
Nice video . Ted williams name and sears in the days , they had good stuff at sears . Those days are gone .
Thank You for posting this!!!!
Thank you MartinPitts for posting this wonderful snapshot of the legendary Ted Williams, In his time, has was known as(and some still call him) the greatest hitter ever...he was also known as a world-class fisherman, so this is an Informative visual record of him as a fisherman. I would like to also note that the voice narrator for this series is the equally legendary John Facenda of NFL films fame, having his great voice narrating Ted fishing for me, makes this a better documentary. Thank you.
