Andrea Yates, the Texas mom who drowned her five young children in 2001 while in the throes of postpartum psychosis, remains housed in a mental hospital — and if she gets her way, she’ll never be released.

Social media is good for some things, but it does have its downfalls—like scrolling aimlessly until I wind up in such a deep rabbit hole of videos that I forget why I even opened the app. However, one of those rabbit holes led me to Roger Aye’s Instagram profile, @cookingandfishing, where post after post demonstrated his prowess with a style of fluke fishing I had never seen before. Instead of the standard bucktails and Gulp, or squid and spearing, Roger does a majority of his shore-based fluke fishing with jerkbaits designed for freshwater bass fishing.

The giant moose probably spooked the salmon as it charged past anglers on Alaska’s Kenai River this week, but they seemed too impressed by the animal to care.

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.
