Is It Worth Catching a Record Fish Anymore?
Used to be said that it’d be worth a million dollars to catch the next world record largemouth. Don’t know if that was ever true, but even if it is now – which I doubt – would the baggage of a record catch be worth it? Two recent things made that thought pop up in [...]
Science: Who Goes Multi-Species?
According to a recent article posted over on OutdoorsFirst website, apparently Elite Series pro Brandon Palaniuk does. Being from Idaho might help in the matter, as I imagine many bassers in the northern part of the country might chase other fish species for one reason or another, especially those in states that have closed seasons [...]
Ever Tourney-Fished With a Bobber?
Somehow I’m on this walleye site reading an article and come across this: Dave shared an interesting walleye tactic that has won him some big bucks along the way. He calls it “Power Bobbering.” Dave credits more than $100,000 in cash over the years, and a 1st-place finish in the Wave Wacker Milles Lacs tournament to [...]
Conditions in MN Favoring Bass?
Recently the MN DNR held a meeting about just what the heck is goin’ on at Fish Lake and what can be done about it. Namely the wallys are sliding and bass are the on the rise – and the locals ain’t diggin’ it. Not the bass, and not the increased boat traffic…because of the [...]
Bassers vs. Wallies at NY’s Oneida
Looks like there might be fisticuffs on the shores of New York’s Oneida Lake, scene of many a bassin’ darby. Here’s what’s going on. On the one hand we have the NY DNR, trying to do the right thing by opening the lake to catch-and-release bassin’ from Dec. 1 through the traditional bass opening day, [...]
Walleye Beer But No Bassin’ Beer?
Rapala’s in the beer biz, and I semi-recently ran across a guy from Minnesota who brews Rooster Lager (as in pheasants) and Walleye Chop. But as far as I know, there’s still no bassin’ beer. I know some of our bassin’ compadres eschew the suds, and that’s fine. Wise, even. But for those of us [...]
We Need To Break This Record Too
Can we get some records here fellas? We recently wrote about the “world’s biggest” fishing tourney, officially certified by the Guinness folks. It was a toothy-critter (walleye) tourney, and we have been assured that several bass derbies would beat that boat count hands down. Now I read about 382 sailfish being caught in the Stuart [...]
Don’t Roast Your Bird ‘Til You See This
Why is Bass Parade, a website supposedly dedicated to bass fishing and humor, posting a random video of a walleye pro preparing a turkey? 1. Thanksgiving—duh! 2.Because we like to eat. 3. Because he shares some really cool tips for spicing up your gobbler. 4. Two words: BUTTER MEDALLIONS. Trust us on this one. Don’t [...]
Toothy Critter Tourney Tops Bass
You know those other fish people fish for in derbies, the ones with the teeth? Wall-somethings? Well, a particular wall-something tournament was recently certified by the Guinness folks as the world’s biggest. Some details, according to this blog:
