Sure it’s morbid, but knowing all of the scientific hijinks involved haven’t you wondered what they were going to call it? … a leading producer of functional, sustainable Tilapia biomass … With the Food & Drug zealots insisting it has to respire to be called “fish” – and the animal welfare crowd insisting it has [...]

In our Bold New World department comes a Salmon angler’s dream, an Atlantic salmon that eats year round, reproduces like a New Zealand Mud Snail and grows twice as fast as real salmon. The only problem is the damn thing has to be taught how to swim. You grab a gene from a Pacific Salmon, [...]

… and while the tabloids make great fun over the adventure, the biologists grind their teeth in frustration. How to get the invasive message across to a public that flushes pet alligators down the toilet, tosses piranha into the Old Swimming Hole once they outgrow the Goldfish budget, or toss that Boa Constrictor into the [...]

It’s the Third Rule of the sporting fraternity, in the retelling of any feat of sporting prowess, add two inches (or a half pound) in case your audience has heard this yarn already … Adherence to the 3rd Rule ensures your friends and neighbors never tire of your oratory – you never repeat yourself either [...]

I lack the Warden-aint-looking-Velveeta “rod holder”, the depth meter, but more importantly I’m missing that gracious and relaxed look that comes with consistent success. I was too busy sulking to notice. Fishing is five grabs – and if you’re lucky enough to hook most of them it’s a good day; sunburn hurts less, dinner tastes [...]

I’m not sure my wooden visage could stand the strain. Facing the Magistrate in all seriousness – and staring at 12 years in the Big House, I’d make a yeoman’s attempt … “Honest, Your Honor, me and Bob there – was actually shark fishing, and them chocolate swizzling Dutchmen just opened fire out of pure [...]

Yet another reason to fiddle with caustic chemicals and satanic dyeing ritual; when the French Press dies an ignoble death after being rapped too harshly on the sink – you’re only mildly put out … Two fur strainers and a paper towel, and Starbuck’s is a distant memory. With the entire angling world returning from [...]

Forbes Magazine has the golfing community in an uproar after it dared  publish the Top 10 PGA holes that contain Monster Bass. I was a bit perplexed at the ferocious response by golf’s governing entity, as almost every major publication has already exposed Tiger’s favorite 10 holes … … and as “Chee-tah” doesn’t play public [...]
