Wisconsin High Schoolers Land Massive, Prehistoric Paddlefish by Hand

Fri, 08/21/2015 - 11:21

Friends Alec Riddle and Logan Thomas of Middleton, Wisconsin, went fishing in late July on the Wisconsin River below the Prairie du Sac dam, hoping to catch a big flathead catfish.

Instead, the two 15-year-olds landed and quickly released a huge paddlefish, an uncommon prehistoric fish that’s found only in large rivers like the Wisconsin, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, and Yellowstone. Paddlefish are a “threatened” species in Wisconsin, and no longer live upriver of Prairie du Sac…

Photo Tips: Make Your Big Fish Look Bigger

Tue, 08/18/2015 - 09:00

Okay, this was a BIG fish. In fact, it’s a 157-pound bigeye tuna, which my brother Bill (you see him here) cranked in during an offshore trip last week. But it looks one heck of a lot bigger in this photo than it does in any of the other we took that day. And believe me, we took plenty of picture of this critter.

2016 Toyota Tacoma is game changer

Sun, 08/16/2015 - 22:52

It is not often that I am given to superlatives.  I drive hundreds of vehicles every year and it is easy to become jaded.  In this kind of job, you grow quickly skeptical of the manufacturers’ hype and know when you are being snowed.

Rising Texas temperatures? Up north travel in GMC Yukon Denali is perfect fit

Thu, 08/13/2015 - 16:52

What does a self-respecting Texan do when the heat index is in the 115 degree range?  Step one for many is to rekindle relationships with family and friends who live up north.  That doesn’t mean giving up on trailering a boat, fishing for some different species or living the outdoor life either.

Bald Eagle Dive Bombs Surprised Grizzly (VIDEO)

Thu, 08/13/2015 - 15:38

Who would win in a fight between a grizzly bear and a bald eagle?

The bear would certainly have an overwhelming advantage when it comes to sheer brawn, but eagles have razor-sharp claws, excellent aim, and can fly. However, this hypothetical situation is rendered somewhat moot due to the fact that eagles and bears rarely get into fights…

White Rhino Fights Cape Buffalo in Territorial Clash (VIDEO)

Thu, 08/13/2015 - 13:22

This is a true battle of titans. In one corner, you have the world’s second-largest land mammal, the intimidating white rhino, which looks like it was practically built for battle. In the other corner, you have the African Cape buffalo, an animal that is notorious for its aggression and is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on its home continent—the same continent filled with lions and crocodiles…

A Saltwater Center Console Pontoon Boat? Yeah Again!!!

Tue, 08/11/2015 - 09:00

Last week, we took a peek at a red-hot high-performance pontoon boat that hits 60 MPH. But what about us anglers? While a lightning-fast pontoon is nifty, it doesn’t exactly fulfill our needs for hard-core fishing machines. Well, never fear. There are also lots of fishing pontoons out there. Virtually all are, as you probably know, regular pontoon boats that are fitted with extra fishing seats, some rodholders, and maybe a livewell or two. That’s great if you’re heading to the lake in search of some bass or crappie. If you like targeting reds and speckled trout in the brine, however, those fishing ‘toons are a non-starter. Well, check this puppy out:

A tourist vacationing near South Carolina’s Black Mountain range claims he saw something resembling Bigfoot last Thursday, and he managed to capture the entire “encounter” on video.

Eric Walters told WBTV that he had rented a cabin off North Carolina Highway 9 last week and was enjoying a quiet stay in the woods with his wife and friends. At the time, his biggest concern was not mythical creatures, but bears.
