Record Breaking Reactive Exploding Target – RV Explosion – 400LBS of Tannerite (VIDEO)

Wed, 06/17/2015 - 16:34

Check out this video from SEG Suppressors.  The decided to go for the record for the largest tannerite explosion on youtube.  The video’s descriptions says:

“This is what 400LBS of reactive exploding target mix looks like when shot with a .223/5.56 AR-15. We put 400LBS of “tannerite” inside a RV and blew it to pieces. We thought putting it inside a RV would be a much greater show of how massive the tannerite blast really is instead of just exploding it by itself. The results were of Hollywood proportion. This is a NEW Youtube Record for largest tannerite explosion!! The most tannerite ever used!!”

CCA STAR: Third Tagged Redfish Winner Confirmed

Wed, 06/17/2015 - 16:20

After experiencing some really good fishing two days prior, Katy resident, Cuong Nguyen, was feeling all fished out until some friends talked him into joining them at the last minute on Friday, June 5. They launched out of the Galveston Yacht Basin and headed to the North jetties. Within no time, Nguyen caught nine solid trout. In addition, the friends combined catch yielded thirteen sheephead and three puppy drum. By 10a.m., the action slowed down considerably. One of the friends wanted to move to a different spot, but Nguyen suggested staying because he believed the fish would come back around. A little time went by, then Nguyen landed a 22’ Trout. About 10 minutes later, Nguyen caught another fish. As he reeled in the fish about ten feet away from the boat, he saw that it was a redfish. Then, much to Nguyen amazement, he realized the fish had a tag. Nguyen yelled out, “It’s a tagged redfish! It’s a tagged redfish!” The friends thought Nguyen was joking around at first, but after getting a closer...

WATCH: Is this 19.3lb Bass the Biggest Ever Caught on Video?

Tue, 06/16/2015 - 16:23

Claiming that you have caught the latest bass ever caught on video is a big claim.  That is exactly what Butch Brown has claimed on YouTube.  The YouTube description states:

“As far as I am aware, this is Butch’s biggest largemout to date. The fish was caught on March 28, 2008. Not only an amazing catch, this may be the single biggest largemouth bass ever on film from the strike to the net. Butch is the man!”

Check out the video below:

There is no doubt that this is a huge bass, but is still shy of the world record of 22lbs.

Testing Out 12 Gauge Exploding Arrows (VIDEO)

Wed, 06/10/2015 - 14:56

If you haven’t seen the Bow Mag, it’s an arrowhead that is tipped with a .357 Magnum load that explodes on impact. Young YouTuber Royal Nonesuch has taken that same principle and applied it to a homemade 12 gauge tipped arrow.

As you can see in the video the round has some pretty devastating effects on fruit and soda bottles, but its range and accuracy are fairly limited due to the weight of a 12 gauge shell…

Toyota Texas Bass Classic spotlights commitment to sport fishing and the state

Tue, 06/09/2015 - 20:42

It costs a professional angler anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000 to participate in a year of professional bass angling. That’s a big number by anyone’s reckoning, and whether you win the big tournaments or not, it takes you away from home for about one-third of the year. No matter how good your equipment and skills are, the results are ultimately out of your control. The weather and fishing conditions determine the catch, weight and everything else.  If it were just about that, no one would ever consider it as a career; but for the pros who fished in the 2015 Toyota Texas Bass Classic it was about so much more.

Tue, 06/09/2015 - 11:07
