A fisherman in Missouri caught what he thought was an odd fish that refused to die, even when left on the pavement for several hours. The angler was fishing below Wappapello Lake Spillway in Wayne County on May 25 when he reeled in what turned out to be a northern snakehead, the fourth ever recorded in the state, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Frog season is upon us.

The beginning of summer marks a lot of things around the country... better weather, kids are out of school, all that good stuff... but for us bass anglers, it also marks the start of frog season. Granted, it's all dependent on where you live... the folks down in Florida have been fishing a hollow-body frog for a couple months now. But now that June is here, it's pretty much frog season across the country. I'm up in Wisconsin, and the frog bite has been FIRE lately now that lily pads, duckweed, and grass mats are providing...

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.

Tracking flatheads provides insights into behavior that can help anglers catch more and larger fish. Meet Fred, a 45-pound flathead catfish living in a river somewhere in the U.S. Doesn’t matter which river, because Fred would behave roughly the same no matter where he lived. Researchers have discovered that while no two flatheads behave exactly alike, all of them follow the same basic rules—winter, spring, summer and fall—from the day they hatch til the day they die. Anglers who understand Fred’s day-to-day lifestyle, in conjunction with his seasonal cycles, have better chances of meeting him and his kin face to face.

Current is key when targeting bass during the summer. Moving water is cooler and more oxygenated than still water, and fish often congregate in these spots when water temperatures rise. This can be anything from ledges and dams to stream riffles and storm drainages. Moving water will attract fish and serve as a highway delivering food right to their mouths.
