| Pending State Record Striper! |
|
Here's the picture of what will probably be Virginia's state record saltwater striped bass. The particulars are: Date: Jan. 23, 2008 Angler: Fred Barnes, Chesapeake Fish weight: 73 pounds Length: 52 inches Girth: 31.5 inches Lure: Mann's Stretch 30 Reel: Penn 30 level-wind spooled with 50-pound-test line Boat: Country Girl Captain: Pat Foster Even though this fish is barely 5 pounds shy of the world record , I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this record falls again soon. It sounds like there are just loads of stripers off Virginia Beach right now and you know there have got to be some bigger ones in there. hat tip Mark @ http://blogs.roanoke.com/wildlife/fishing/fred_barnes_with_his_pendin...

It's not the most efficient medium, but it's damn poignant: TOKYO (AFP) - A letter that a young girl in Japan sent into the sky in a balloon some 15 years ago has been found on a fish hauled from 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) below the Pacific. A fisherman found the still legible piece of paper sitting on a sticky flatfish in his catch on Thursday, along with a torn-off string and the fragment of a red balloon. Read the rest. If you want to leave a comment, I suggest you don't liberate a balloon over the North Branch of the Au Sable...just hit the link.

| Bowhunting Success Up in Missouri |
|
News Source: News Ledger.com Good hunting by archers contributed to the third-largest deer hunting harvest on record by the time the 2007 hunting season ended, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. Hunters took 302,666 whitetails during the hunting season. Although the harvest was seven percent below the previous year?s hunt, the harvest still ranked third. Several factors made the hunting season difficult to deal with, according to the department. Acorn production was down, which caused deer to congregate where food was available. But warm, windy weather during November and an ice storm late in the hunting season affected hunter turnout. Biologists also found more evidenc...

| Fantasy Fishing? Win Millions! |
|
Link here The lure of fantasy fishing FLW Outdoors and chairman Irwin Jacobs have teamed with Wal-Mart and other major sponsors in an attempt to make fantasy fishing as popular as fantasy football and baseball. While the concept is not original (ESPN and BASS teamed to provide fantasy fishing to contestants in conjunction with the BASS tournament schedule last year), the amount of prize money certainly is unique. FLW Outdoors has promised to distribute at least $1.7 million in cash prizes, with the cumulative points winner picking up a guaranteed $1 million first prize. In addition to the $1 million overall prize, FLW Outdoors is also giving away $100,000 to the winner of each of the seve...

Whomever caught the most fish by the end of the weekend would win. They began their contest on a cold, windy South East Idaho lake. After 8 hours of fishing [...]

| Excellent Blog Award |
|
© By Othmar Vohringer On Wednesday, January 23rd Marian has awarded me with the Excellent Blog Award . When I received and email from Marian, notifying me of the occasion I was very surprised. Thank you Marian, I am humbled by the fact that you deem my blog/s worthy of an award. According to the rules I should find 10 other blogs to whom I pass the award on. That is a bit of a dilemma for me. Which one of the many excellent outdoor blogs should I pick? There?re so many of them that readily come to my mind. Rather than torturing my tired brain anymore than I already had to today I will chose to give this award to bloggers that deserve, in my opinion, a little encouragement. The first blog ...
