It goes without saying that many of these fish are records, both of the state and world variety, and absolutely made us want to skip work and go fishing.

No other firearm has the reputation of being as robust and simple as the AK47.  Apparently that means it can be adapted to a variety of scenarios.  Like this video that shows 2 AK47s along with the cleaning rods being used to jump start a car battery.  I don’t think my AR15 will do that with it’s polymer stock.

How many times have I clogged up this blog with a book review? Um… never. And truth be told, that’s because it’s pretty dang rare I run across a book I like so much I really want to share it with the world. Right now, however, one such book is sitting right here on my desk: Saltwater Tales.

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.

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.
