Meet Matt Watson, New Zealand angler and host of The Ultimate Fishing Show. Matt’s pulled some crazy stunts over the years, but his latest video is a must-watch. In short, it shows a giant mako shark attacking a very large swordfish he’s hand-lining.
Talk about an amazing week of blue marlin fishing! The crew of the Big Oh just finished up a stretch of eight days fishing off Cape Verde, Africa, in which they released an amazing 80 blue marlin.
Swordfish aficionados Brett Holden and Nick Stanczyk head to the backcountry of the Florida Keys for some shark fishing — and proceed to latch into an absolutely monstrous sawfish.
An amazing video surfaces from Oahu of a monster shark going completely airborne in pursuit of a tuna. And get this — it all unfolds just feet away from the kayak angler who was fighting the fish.
Now if this doesn’t turn your head, not much will. It seems as if a group of enterprising anglers in the Florida Panhandle have discovered that mako sharks aren’t just for those with big offshore boats. Matter of fact, makos — good-sized ones, at that — are being caught from piers and beaches in the area.
If you’re going to know anything about me, it’s this – I’m a sucker for classic black-and-white photos.So when Dave Adams, founder and chief executive of Tormenter Tackle, showed me this old shot of himself as a youngster, I knew I had to write about it here.
First, he caught the fish. Then, it was approved by the IGFA as the new all-tackle world record yellowfin tuna. And now, you might call Guy Yocom fishing’s ultimate “lucky one,” having been awarded a symbolic check worth $1 million from Mustad Hooks.
The new video “Silver Lining” features some great tarpon footage, but more important, it addresses an issue that’s been on the minds of Key West guides and fishermen for quite some time: the ecological damage being wrought by the cruise ship industry.
Snapped by Dave Lewis, a veteran photographer from South Wales, this has to be one of the best “grin-and-grab” fishing photographs ever taken.
An Arizona couple and several friends were whale watching in Maui and met face-to-face with an enthusiastic humpback that breached the surface in front of their boat, nudging it just enough to make things interesting.
Testimony was heard yesterday during a public meeting of Maine’s Joint Standing Committee on Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and despite a clear and vocal majority in opposition to a bill that would ban “rubber” fishing lures, it advanced to a work session, the next step toward a committee vote.
A new bill authored by Representative Paul Davis of Maine proposes a ban on artificial lures made of “rubber” in state waters — but will it apply to other soft baits, as well?
