Season Opener Tomorrow!

It’s been a long time since I’ve been fishing. I was hoping to go ice fishing this winter, but it never worked out. There is still ice on many of the lakes nearby, but trout, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel season opens tomorrow and I’m going fishing even If I have to break the ice to do it. My friend Adrian and I visited a local lake yesterday that has open season year round for fishing, but the only open water was well out of casting distance. I’m very excited about fishing this early in the year. Growing up in Ontario, pike season opened in May, while bass and musky season doesn’t open until June.

I figure it will be another few days of warm weather before the ice melts, but there are some other lakes near my work that have only a little ice remaining. So tomorrow I’ll be fishing on my lunch break!

Behold, The Gigayacht!

As incredible as this boat looks, I don’t think I would ever buy one – even if I was a billionaire. I mean, its only 325 feet long. I’d want something bigger then Paul Allen’s 410 footer otherwise I’d just look like a chump.

Nothing says classy like a fish head on your desk filled with cigarette butts.

Best Boat House Ever

I’ve always wanted to live on a boat. Having the freedom to fish while sitting back on the couch sounds like a good way to spend a day. Hopefully I’ll be living the dream when I retire, but it will most likely be a sailboat in the British Virgin Islands.

Old School Tuna Fishing

This old footage of tuna fishing in the 1940s in incredible. It must have been great to be a fisherman back in those days before overfishing killed off the majority of big fish in our oceans. Anyone got a time machine I can borrow?

Be sure to check out the second part of this clip on Youtube, they are both amazing.
