Harold Ensley
Harold Edward Ensley (November 20, 1912 - August 24, 2005) was an American radio and television personality best known for his television program ''The Sportsman's Friend''. His innovative, nationally syndicated program was one of the first to feature fishing and hunting, and ran nonstop for 48 years. Harold Ensley earned the title: "World Champion of Freshwater Sport Fishing" by winning ''Sports Illustrated'' 's first major fishing tournament, "The World Series of Freshwater Sport Fishing" in 1960. He has been inducted into the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, the Kansas Association of Broadcaster's Hall Of Fame, Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. He has won numerous awards for hunting, fishing, and broadcasting. Mr. Ensley, a noted lure designer, contributed to the development of modern sport fishing lures. He also marketed his own line of fishing rods, reels and various fishing accessories, and wrote two books, ''Winds of Chance'' and ''Wings of Chance'', which recount some of his life's adventures outdoors.〔Ensley, Harold (2002) (''Winds of Chance'' ) Leathers Publications.

==Early life and radio show==
Harold Ensley grew up on a cattle ranch near the town of Healy, Kansas. He was an avid history student, and at the age of eighteen graduated valedictorian of his one-room schoolhouse—despite his habit of skipping class to go fishing. After completing school, he moved to Joplin, Missouri, where he was a Church of Christ minister, and had his own Christian radio show. Once while attempting to sell advertisement slots during his radio program, a friend commented that he would buy an ad if Harold had a fishing show. Mr. Ensley started that show by donating his time for free. He chose the Smiley Burnette song, "It's My Lazy Day," which contains the line, "Well, I might have gone fishin'..." for the show's theme song. Many years later, Smiley sang the song live on Harold's TV show. Mr. Ensley moved to Kansas City in 1949. There he wrote a syndicated newspaper column, while working for another radio station selling advertising. He convinced the radio station to air ''The Fisherman's Friend'', in 1951 by working for free. The radio show began with a new theme song, "Gone Fishin'" written by Nick and Charles Kenny. This became Ensley's theme song throughout his career.〔〔〔
