Canada native Cooper Gallant simply hoped to survive the Elite Series two-tournament swing through hot, humid Alabama. A 32nd-place finish at Wheeler Lake fit the bill. And when Gallant opened the TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Elite this week at Smith Lake with a 39th-place start, there was a sense of mission accomplished. Two more days have suddenly put the 26-year-old second-year Elite Series angler in contention for a title.

I’ll never forget the first fish I caught. It was a little bluegill at the edge of a boat ramp when I was around 4 or 5 years old. I made my parents keep it in our freezer for years. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents’ house, which was on a creek running between two spring-fed lakes, where I would also catch bluegills. I’d say I got hooked on fishing around 8 to 10 years of age. My grandparents had a Winnebago, and we spent many weekends parked along the Banana River in Florida’s Brevard County, bank fishing for saltwater species and searching for clams. Around the same age, my parents occasionally took us crappie fishing on their little boat at local lakes and on the St. Johns River.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

Within hours of the sighting on Wednesday, Frank van Manen caught word that there was a grizzly sow with five cubs in tow spotted in Yellowstone National Park. Five cubs following mom is so unlikely that van Manen, who leads the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, pondered an explanation.
