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.

If you’ve got the cash, you can purchase the boat used in one of the biggest fishing scandals in recent memory. And it’s a pretty sweet rig. In 2022, two Ohio anglers came under fire for stuffing walleye with lead weights at a Lake Erie walleye fishing tournament. Jacob Runyan and Chase Cominsky faced multiple felony charges and were ultimately each sentenced to ten days in jail. They were also forced to forfeit the boat they used to commit their crimes to authorities. Now, that boat could be yours.

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...

Restaurant surcharges aren't leaving menus in California.Why it matters: Dining out has become more expensive for customers and restaurant owners, fueling debates about legislation aimed at eliminating vague fees tacked onto diners' bills.Driving the news: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed emergency legislation Saturday allowing restaurants and bars to charge additional fees that are "clearly and conspicuously" explained on menus and other displays.It essentially exempts eateries from the law banning "junk fees" at businesses — including ticket vendors, delivery apps and hotels — that went into effect Monday.Threat level: Restaurant owners have argued banning such surcharges would result in employee pay cuts and higher menu prices for diners.But many diners oppose such service charges. A recent San Francisco Chronicle survey found more than 81% of 1,000 respondents believe restaurant surcharges should be illegal.The bottom line: Diners can still expect to see service charges on their checks, but they shouldn't be a surprise.

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.
