If you sea something, say something.

Fishermen are being instructed to kill an invasive, predatory fish with the potential to devastate local ecosystems.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is warning folks to be on the lookout for the northern snakehead, a marine animal indigenous to Asia that has been spotted in US waters.

As its name suggests, the snakehead, which grows up to 3 feet in length, can slither onto land and survive for days by breathing in air. It also features a python-like color pattern, differentiating it from the similar-looking native bowfin. 

“They’re aggressive predators, preying on native species, and competing...

So much going on in this video, where to even begin...

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...

I usually have all the items needed close to each other for easy boat loading, and I also keep a checklist on my cell phone, so as not to forget anything important. Let me tell you, that list has saved me quite a bit of pain and aggravation over the years. I generally pre-rig my rods with the basics, so that when I reach my intended destination, I’m ready to make that first cast without hesitation. It also comes in handy if I run across surface signs of feeding fish along my route. And then there’s the tackle bag, complete with trays and trays of lures, one or more of which I’m hoping will be a winner at some point during my day of fishing.

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.

The terms flipping, pitching, and punching are often used interchangeably by bass anglers. However, in reality, all three of these techniques are different and unique to specific situations. One thing they do have in common, though, is that they can all be used to catch monster largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass. You just need to know when and where to implement each tactic.

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.

Many years ago, during a bluefish blitz out in front of the 10K Islands, I found myself constantly shuffling over to the measuring tape stuck to the inside of the gunwale near the stern. You know the kind; the ones Anglers call a “Law Stick.” My problem was, I had a sore knee brought on by too many years in combat boots, carrying heavy loads, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, and running information at a knee-busting shuffle. Those were the days.

Flutter spoons are great bass baits for summertime fishing. Largemouth, spotted, and even some smallmouth bass become susceptible to these chunks of metal as fish move offshore and look for a reprieve in cooler, deeper waters. Here, schools of bass will group up on isolated cover like brushpiles, ledges, and points, looking to ambush prey. And flutter spoons are a great way to feed them what they think they want.

Targeting bass during a mayfly hatch is a great way to generate big bites in the summer months. Starting in May and running through September, mayflies emerge all across North America. Usually associated with trout and fly fishing, mayfly hatches are also great for targeting bass. These bugs draw in largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass that feed on the flies themselves, as well as other smaller fish eating the bugs.
