It’s been a while since we have done played “Name That Fish” so here is a hard one for all you fish experts out there!

Indonesia—Off the east coast of Sulawesi, on the bottom of the Lembeh Strait, the wide-eyed face of a foot-long stargazer emerges through black volcanic sand. These fish, named for the eyes atop their heads, ambush their prey.
Before the year ends we wanted to have one last contest to giveaway some fantastic gear from this year and hopefully bring our facebook page out of the dark ages. It’s been a wild ride and Clive and I are both excited about embarking on our 10th year of Fishing Fury! To celebrate we’ll be giving away 10 WE FISHIN’ MANE shirts with stickers to our favourite submission and the top 3 submissions will each receive a pair of Dizm Eco Eyewear sunglasses- our highest rated product this year!
To win: Like us on Facebook and post your best fishing photos of 2013 before 12:00am EST January 1, 2014.
Executives at Fishing-WorldRecords.com have reached out for help in identifying this new potential world record. The fish (14 pounds, 28 inches) looks like a brown bullhead catfish, however the images (additional photo after the break) are very poor, and there are some that question if it could be a hybrid channel or blue catfish.
So what do you think, is it a brown bullhead or a hybrid? Leave a comment and let us know.
The Fly Trout is the brilliantly illustrated and iconic character created by Joe Pino. You may not have seen The Fly Trout before, but chances are you’re going to start seeing a lot more of him. Joe has created over 10 unique and fantastic designs on shirts, hats, and even paracord bracelets.
In honor of Independence Day Joe has not only added a new character to his lineup, the Red, White, and Bluegill, but he’s also running a fantastic contest where you could win his two newest shirt designs!
