Blacktip Shark at PINS

Fri, 05/06/2016 - 09:58

Blacktip Shark caught, tagged, DNA sampled and released. The scariest thing about catching a blacktip shark is releasing it. I walked this girl out into belly deep water and held her there for about five minutes until she slapped her tail and disappeared. The walk back to the beach is always a little nerve racking. […]

Ran Aground? Make Sure You…

Tue, 05/03/2016 - 09:00

Running aground is something that happens to all of us. Especially if you regularly fish backwater flats and lagoons, it’s simply bound to happen sooner or later.

“IT BLEW MY LEG OFF!” ~ Idiot vs Tannerite [VIDEO]

Fri, 03/25/2016 - 12:07

Binary explosives can be a blast when you follow the instructions properly.  But you will always find someone who needs a life lesson to learn otherwise.  Often those slow learners are missing appendages.  Case in point:

Manufactures instructions warn to be at least 100 yards away for the powerful 1 pound and larger centerfire targets, and clear the area of any debris.  Detonating a target inside a machine with blades from 44′ is a recipe for disaster.

Learn from this guy: don’t be an idiot.

Also, always place a courtesy call to the local sheriff when getting your ‘Merica on, it makes life easier for everyone.
