Lake Jesup is one of Florida’s most alligator-infested lakes. It doesn’t have quite as many alligators as neighboring Lake Okeechobee, which is home to nearly 30,000 alligators. But Lake Jesup is also much smaller than Lake Okeechobee, covering about 16,000 acres. It’s 1/28th the size of Lake Okeechobee.  Here, we’ll discover how many alligators are […]

The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

Do bass eat alligators? No... not really.

Do alligators eat bass? Yeah.

So on its face, you would never would have guessed that an alligator lure could catch fish, but you'd be wrong. But as soon as you understand how bass feed, it all makes sense. It’s an only the strong survive world out there, and everything has to eat. Largemouth bass are no different. They are both predators and prey, and their only hope of survival is to eat the next thing that comes their way.

A great white shark thrilled anglers recently in Cape Cod Bay by following a hooked striped bass to their boat and leaving them with only its head.
The accompanying footage, captured outside Rock Harbor and shared Sunday by Cape Cod Incidents, begins with an angler reeling the striper to the boat with the shark apparently holding on but not resisting.
“He’s swimming to us,” one angler observes.
“He didn’t let go,” another cautions.

The excitement ramps up as the group realizes the shark is only feet away: “He’s right there!”
Within seconds, though, the angler who was fighting the striped bass is left with only...
