New Hampshire Fish and Game has a new fish to pencil into the record books, and man, is this thing a fatty. A 15.33-pound channel catfish was recently reeled in on the Connecticut River by Matthew Smith. The previous state record weighed 12.48 pounds, which means Matthew’s new record was the same size plus a 17-inch largemouth bass. Talk about …
Lavon Nowling just reeled in the biggest catfish ever recorded in the state of Florida. The record-setting fish weighed 69.9 lbs and measured 48 inches long.

Did he just say, “jerkbaits for trout?” Hear me out. When you are looking to upgrade from the typical 12 inch stocker rainbows and catch yourself a trophy trout, your best bet is a jerkbait.

In addition to Sir Airness, North Carolina is home to the annual Big Blue Rock Marlin Tournament. Spanning eight days and involving hundreds of anglers, the Big Blue Rock Marlin Tournament is considered by many …
Father’s have been getting their sons into fishing since fishing was invented. We should all be thankful for them giving us this tremendous gift, learning how to catch, release, fillet, photograph, EVERYTHING! Your whole fishing career probably started with this man buying you a snoopy bobber or barbie pole and putting you on a pond bluegill. This is the obvious reason …
Father’s Day and fishing go together like peanut butter and jelly, so it is only natural that Father’s Day fishing gifts would be the first thing you think of when trying to make sure your old man has a special day. While we’re sure all he REALLY wants is some alone time on the water, catch him on his way …
I like bass fishing almost as much as I like keeping money in my wallet. Fishing is my hobby, my passion, and undoubtedly my favorite way to spend time. But lures are expensive and I’m not made of money. I’m always hunting for ways to save money that get me fishing. I think every angler is. Today, we’re focusing on …
For the last month and a half, I’ve turned into a little bit of a Trout bum, not a fly guy in fancy clothes trout bum, instead more of a Midwestern trout enthusiast who carries a spinning rod and shops at Walmart. Don’t get me wrong, I love quality outdoor gear and admire the skill and patience that fly anglers …
