The conditions during the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament at Wheeler Lake were brutal. An incessant sun and the lack of any breeze made for some of the hottest weather I’ve ever fished in. The water temperature was almost 90 degrees, and there wasn’t any current to get the bass feeding.

After lurking near the lead for the first half of the tournament, the 25-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., resident grabbed the pole position on Saturday with a 14-pound, 2-ounce bag that gave him a three-day total of 41-9. It’s the slimmest of cushions, though, with every one of the remaining 10 anglers...

Bass anglers have some new opportunities to catch IGFA world records. The International Game Fish Association (IGFA), which keeps track of record catches worldwide, recently announced changes to its bass record categories that will differentiate between Florida bass and largemouth bass and add a new record category for Alabama bass.

Consider these three important pieces of advice to enjoy a more successful summer of catfish fishing. It is very likely that catfish are the Rodney Dangerfield of the fishing world. Catfish fight hard, are found all over, and can even be caught from shore in many cases, yet they are often still in the shadow of other species. I am guilty myself of not often taking advantage of some great angling in my own backyard. While you can make catfishing as simple or complex as you want to, here are three areas to focus on to improve your catfishing this season.

If given the choice between hitting the field for one snap in football pads against the Florida Gators' defense, or having a chance encounter on a golf course with an actual alligator in the Sunshine State, I'd take my chances on the former option. Even without pads, perhaps.

Because my goodness, I couldn't want any less part of this gator who emerged from the water with a massive fish in tow.

Fishing for bass at night is some of the most fun you can have on the water. As the spring fades into summer and the lakes become crowded with pleasure boaters, the bass wrap up their spawning process, and it can become increasingly difficult to catch them during the day. In this post-spawn phase, many bass move offshore, and the fish that stay shallow become increasingly less active as water temps rise rapidly and the bass seek shelter from the sweltering heat.

Social media is good for some things, but it does have its downfalls—like scrolling aimlessly until I wind up in such a deep rabbit hole of videos that I forget why I even opened the app. However, one of those rabbit holes led me to Roger Aye’s Instagram profile, @cookingandfishing, where post after post demonstrated his prowess with a style of fluke fishing I had never seen before. Instead of the standard bucktails and Gulp, or squid and spearing, Roger does a majority of his shore-based fluke fishing with jerkbaits designed for freshwater bass fishing.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we do not see enough of it so when it is here, that is where you will find me. Everything I do I do outside when the sun is out and the weather is warm. I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.

Many people might wonder what the difference is between crocodiles and alligators, and the answer is not a whole lot when you're trying to avoid them. Alligators have darker skin than crocodiles and a more rounded nose. They are found in freshwater — lakes, streams, and rivers — unlike crocodiles, which generally survive in salt water, often near the coast. Perhaps the easiest way to spot the differences between them is by their teeth. A crocodile's bottom fourth tooth on each side always sticks out when its mouth is closed, whereas an alligator's slides into the upper jaw.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
