Took my five year old fishing and he got a nice surprise! Using a piece of leafworm for panfish he almost had the rod ripped out of his hands by this largemouth.The tears came moments later when I told him he couldn't keep the fish.

Usually, during the early evening hours, the kids and I will make the short 300 yard walk through the overgrown brush, that once was a thriving, beautiful, 45-hole golf course.

More times than not, I just want to feel the raw power of an aquatic creature testing the limits of my tackle, and I don't care how it is achieved. While the rewards of a day spent on the open water, scouting structure and rotatin...

Any look into sports history tells us that following a legend is a challenging, if not impossible endeavor. Whether following a coach like Bob Knight or athlete like Michael Jordan, there are more examples of failures than success.

Where's the what?... Where's the bass! How many of us anglers
(tournament and recreational) go to a body of water you've never fished
before, drop the boat in the water, then, ask this question to
yourself? This is probably one of the biggest topics in bass fishing
that an angler should learn more about. I generally receive about two

Collecting dust on a
shelf in the garage was where it eventually landed, a big old bucktail
lure I bought years ago in anticipation of the only muskie fishing trip
I ever went on. I had forgotten about the bucktail, until the day my
