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...

An angler trolling for striped bass hauled in a 127-pound, 6-ounce Arkansas state record paddlefish on June 15. The monster fish came from Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas, and it crushed the existing record of 118 pounds. Mike Schleeper inked his name in the record books while trolling brooder minnows,...

When we finally reached the bank of the spillway, I gathered up my charges: four freckled, tow-headed boys, jabbering with excitement, all hyped up on soda and candy, rods at the ready. We’d stopped at the convenience store for nightcrawlers, where the kids begged for drinks. I almost said no....

Bluegill Basics: How to Fish Like a Kid Again

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.

Following the internal principle of continuous refinement, G. Loomis has released a newly revamped lineup of GLX BASS series rods. Handcrafted in Woodland, Wash., these rods feature a proprietary blend of high-modulus graphite and advanced resin technologies, which create rod blanks with boosted strength-to-weight ratios, superb balance and maximum sensitivity. For optimal performance, each rod is rolled on stepped mandrels machined with micro-tapers within the overall taper. This isolates and reinforces areas that could fail under load and enhances them for maximum durability.

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.

“It’s challenging enough for seasoned anglers to net big cobia,” says Hoffman. “I take charters, so imagine what it’s like for me to get people who aren’t used to netting these fish in tune with it. But we make it happen.” Hoffman’s systematic approach to netting applies to numerous species.

We often run across people in our lives who either have a natural healing and calming energy to them and those who seem bent on ruining everything you set out to do whether they mean to or not. Astrology offers a complex and nuanced understanding of personality traits associated with each zodiac sign, attributing both positive and negative aspects to individuals' characters. Among these characteristics, some signs are often hailed for their healing abilities, bringing comfort, peace, and rejuvenation to those around them. Conversely, other signs may possess more destructive tendencies, challenging relationships and personal growth. This article explores the zodiac signs that are traditionally considered the most healing and the most destructive, offering insights into the dual nature of certain astrological influences.

Alaska State

Pure, unbridled power.

Some Alaskan anglers went out on the Kenai River to catch some fish, and though they probably did reel in more than a couple of catches, the biggest moment of the day came when a massive moose crashed their fishing spot.

Now to be clear, it's not uncommon to see a moose running about in Alaska. There is an estimated population of about 200,000 in our northern-most-state. However, humans rarely ever get to witness a sizable creature like this showing its upmost physical capabilities.

If you've ever tried to run into the ocean, you know how hard it can be...

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.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

For decades, Angola has forced prisoners to work in fields in extreme heat. Today, they urged a federal judge to halt the practice. Prisoners filed an emergency motion about working in the summer heat, as part of a proposed class-action lawsuit to end the “Farm Line” — forced agricultural labor at the prison, for little or no pay.
