Texas Fish & Game

When you’re the company that sells the most trucks and other vehicles that tow it only seems natural to lend your name to a line of trailers, campers and toy haulers.

Damn.com has posted photos and a story about a hog that is alleged to weigh more than 1,000 pounds killed in Russia.

A former Marine and his two children were detained in Mexico last Thursday after taking a wrong turn into Ciudad Acuna, Mexico.

Recently I went on assignment to test a Bayliner Element F18, for review on boats.com. (Watch the F18 video boat review, to see it for yourself). While I’ve never been a huge Bayliner fan, I do realize that they fill an important niche in the boating market, and since they haven’t built a dedicated fishing boat in years, I was quite interested in seeing what they came up with. Let me sum up the experience: forget everything you know about Bayliner’s fishing boats. This. Changes. Everything.

If you carry a handgun, it’s always recommended to carry an extra magazine.  Not only for the extra capacity but also for reliability reasons.  Usually we carry extra mags with a  belt mounted magazine pouches but sometimes we opt for a deeper concealment option like pocket carry.

A professional angler in California may have caught the world’s largest spotted bass, but the record may have quite literally slipped through his fingers.

When the folks from Pro Angler asked me to look at their new app, I wasn’t exactly excited. It may be different for some anglers (younger ones that I, I’m guessing), but when it comes to fishing about the last thing in the world I want to do is use an app. Plus, in my experience, the vast majority of the fishing apps out there basically stink. But personal opinion be danged, as a journalist I have to force myself to look at this sort of thing now and again. Shocker: in this case, I’m actually glad I did.

Red tide cell concentrations around South Padre Island.

Reports of red tide and/or fish kills continue to dissipate in the Gulf of Mexico. Discolored water associated with red tide was reported in Corpus Christi Bay but there were no reports of aerosols or dead fish. No other reports of red tide or dead fish have been received along the coast.

As of November 4, the TPWD partner organization, the Red Tide Rangers, reported no red tide cells in water samples from South Padre Island beaches.

Deer season is when it all happens. Many hunters spend all year salivating at the thought of venison chili and backstraps, while others savor the thought of those calm early mornings on the treestand. However, like most things in life, not everything can be perfect.

With regular waterfowl hunting seasons well underway in the northern states and poised to kick off in the south, at least two things are clear: There are plenty of ducks, and weird weather is already affecting local and continental waterfowl migrations.

Yesterday at a Walmart in Waco, a thug tried to snatch an 84 year old women’s purse.  Luckily for the victim a group of bystanders were not about to let this happen.

At the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, there was some serious power on display—especially when it came to center console fishing boats. A Hydra-Sports 53 Suenos (the largest center console in the world, you can read about it in Hot News from the Miami Boat Show,  where we wrote about it just after its introduction last spring) sporting quadruple 627-horsepower Seven Marine engines. A Regulator 41 with quad Yamaha F350’s. A Scout 42 with quad F300 Yamahas. The list goes on and on. But one of the most impressive—and the fastest fishboat of them all—was a Midnight Express 43.
