At Fishing Fury, we love shiny things as much as fish do - especially shiny reels. As odd as it may sound, it’s not only important that our reels function well, but that they look great too. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder when it comes to reels though. Personally I prefer the appearance of a round baitcast reel, where as Jon prefers low profile. One thing with both agree on though, is that if we had the money, we would have a serious collection of pimped out reels. Here’s a list of the reels we wish we had, but probably never will.
Heres a fish I had never seen or heard of until two years ago when a co-worker introduced them to me. He and his dad fished for them when he was younger. After he showed me a few photos and I was amazed. The paddlefish is a very unique freshwater fish. Their skeletons are primarily composed of cartilage much like a shark, and they can esialy be identified by their huge rounded bill.
Chinese paddlefish caught in the Yangtze River can grow up to 9 feet long and weigh over 600 pounds. Both the American and Chinese paddlefish eat zooplankton which they filter through their huge mouth and gills.
Fishermen generally catch these fish by snagging them with heavy equipment and large hooks.
The world record American paddlefish was caught in Kansas by Clinton Boldridge on Carp bait May 5 2004, and weighed 144 pounds. It was 75 inches long with a 45 1/4 inch girth.
Fridays can be pretty slow at work, one of the many ways I pass the time is to read Cyanide and Happiness comics. Most people consider these comics highly offensive, but I consider them highly hilarious.
I remember the days when you kept your pet fish in a small inexpensive bowl. Nowadays you can get aquariums in all kinds of shapes and sizes. If you want to be really fancy, you can get these Spaceariums custom made any size you need them, as long as you need them uber thin. Be ready to throw down five thousands bucks though!
I love magic. Who doesn’t? While this may not really be magic, it is completely awesome. Mike “Sharkman” Rutzen a man on a mission. A mission to help people see sharks for what they really are - intelligent kind animals. Mark has learned the skill of making sharks immobile by turning them on their heads and massaging their snouts, close to the eyes. This hypnotic state is referred to as tonic immobility, and lasts about 15 minutes.
The effects last for around 15 minutes and has proved a useful tool for scientists wanting to study shark behavior. Being able to get so close to the Great White, Mike discovered that they do not have beady black eyes, as previously thought, but they are actually a startling blue.
For all you evolution doubters out there, take a look at this chimp in action and tell me humans didn’t evolve from apes! Not only can he take a train all by himself, but he can also go fishing by himself!

Hey Peter,
Spoons will catch you several varieties of fish including two of my favorite, barracuda and jacks. If you plan to fish for tarpon the best bet is using live bait and fishing at night. Tarpon can be found though out the Virgin Islands by day and night and you should be able to find them as long as you have good eyesight! (look for schools of baitfish and pelicans)
Anegada probably holds some the best fishing in the BVI with a wide variety of species, including world class bone fishing.
If you plan to fish from a boat you are [...]
