Gary Burghoff—Fishing Equipment
Photo credit: Anonymous
American actor Gary Burghoff is best known for his role as Corporal Walter “Radar” O’Reilly in the 1970s TV series M*A*S*H. Unlike the naive, innocent character he portrayed in the hit series, Burghoff also has a bent for inventing things.
He holds two patents for “Chum Magic,” a fishing device that draws fish toward the boat, as well as a fishing rod. Chum Magic automatically dispenses chum while attracting fish to the hook with a combination of lights and optional simulated seaweed.
He also patented a toilet seat-lifting device, if you are averse to visiting public toilets.
Glad the man had something to fill in the time after his hit T.V. show. Fishing and everything related is a good way to unwind.
Coffee inside this morning. Way too hot out on the patio.

.He is one of my favorite characters on MASH..I watch old reruns of it nearly everyday. He was a good musician as well:))
I loved him as Radar on Mash. Glad he was a success off stage as well.
Hey Mamahen...
I didn't know about the musician part, but it doesn't surprise me. Talented guy, so it seems.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Linda...
He played the same character in the movie that came out before the t.v. series. Loved the show!
Thanks for coming over today!
I didn't know he had invented these things. I watch reruns of MASH every evening.
