I’ve got a bone to pick with Steven Spielberg. His 1975 blockbuster “Jaws” made sharks out to be crazed, maneating monsters, tapping into a near-universal fear of what lies beneath the vast ocean. With one film, Spielberg put so many people off swimming in open water forever, that it’s a wonder that anyone still does it.

A sportfishing guide in Fiji has provided striking evidence of what can happen if a hooked game fish puts up too long of a fight.
“The emotional rollercoaster of chasing doggies,” Jana Crossingham stated via Instagram, referring to an image showing the severed head of a giant dogtooth tuna. “So close yet so far…”
Crossingham told FTW Outdoors that a shark claimed the body of the estimated 110-pound dogtooth tuna, leaving only the head for angler Brock Harmer.

The image, showing an impressive set teeth and jaws, inspired one social-media follower to comment: “That would [still] make an epic skull mount.”
Many anglers around the world jokingly refer to a shark that chomps a hooked fish as the tax collector, or tax man.

Crossingham explained that sharks aren’t the only collectors and shared an image of the guide hoisting what was left of a dogtooth he recently landed.
In this instance the tax collectors were “a pack of pilot whales.”

Ted had always wanted to learn to dive and he set aside a week to complete his PADI Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Divercourses back-to-back at a local rock quarry. It went great, except for some problems with equalizing his ears. Back home, he felt dizzy, and his left ear still hurt.

Muskie are many fishermen's favorite. They are an apex predator in the water, with nothing but themselves really preying on them. These predators can weigh over 50 pounds in some cases, and reach lengths well over 4 feet long. These massive creatures sit patiently in the weeds, using their camouflage to go unnoticed until they are within distance and strike in a flash.

Dubbed the “fish of 10,000 casts,” fishing for these beasts can be slow and fruitless, but is always worth it when you finally do. Fishing them requires big...
