Tom sent us this thick 39 inch pike from Ontario. It’s rare that you see a 20 pound pike that is under 40 inches. Best of all, his impressive fish is still swimming!
This 39 inch fatty weighed in at 20.5 lbs.
Caught and released on Lake Temagami Ontario
Our good friend Martin wrote in yesterday to let us know how his York Bassmasters tournament on Sturgeon Lake went, and much to our surprise given the crazy weather we continue to have here.. Martin pulled out a huge win, and some huge bass!
I was privileged enough to draw 2 time angler of the year Don Mahar of York Bassmasters. We started the day heading out to a well known rocky shoal on Sturgeon, while most of the rest stuck to the river leading out to Sturgeon from Lindsay. We landed our limit within the first 20 minutes, a nice hand full of smallies, but nothing large. We kept fishing those rock piles, landing and culling our catches still in search of a few big boys. Eventually, Don had a nice 2.5 lbs largemouth which meant we were in business. Soon after we headed across to the other side of the bay and Don comes up big with a 4 lbs smallie. We had a few more culls along that end and we had ourselves a pretty good bag for the day. There was heavy heavy rain all morning , we were absolutely soaked from the rain. On our way back to the weigh in , we made one last stop along the river, 2 casts in Don lands yet another big largemouth around 3.5 and we headed in for weigh in. We turned out to have 14 lbs and big fish at around 4lbs which gave us 1st place and big fish award.
Second place was 11.5 , with a 3.25 lbs largemouth.
Congratulations on the win Martin, those are beautiful bass..
In case you live in Ontario and don’t know when bass season starts, is started last Saturday! Adam sent us some photos of a couple huge largemouth bass caught in St Thomas, Ontario. Nice catch Adam!
If you have ever wondered if the latest fishing technologies will make you a better fisherman, you are not alone. Fishermen spend thousands of dollars each year to be able to catch more fish and in the end is it really worth it? Current.com investigates by sending a first time fisherman, armed with the latest fishing gadgets, to face off against a seasoned bass fishing pro. Who will emerge victorious? Watch the video to find out!
The bottom line is this: if you want to catch more fish, don’t spend more money, fish more.
I’ve updated our awesome fishing gallery!
Let me know what you think, or if you have any problems!
Last week we mentioned that the beautiful Quantum Tour Edition PT was/is on sale for $110 off the regular price, and now we’re going to tell you why. Because its old and busted! The good folks at Tackle Tour have photos of the all new 2009 Tour Edition PT which will hit stores this fall. The new reel looks to be aimed toward the fishing enthusiast, boasting great detail and a carbon fiber handle (and no doubt a hefty price tag). It’s a sharp looking reel no doubt, but personally I prefer the colour of the old model. Have a look for yourself.

We’re big fans of Quantum reels here at Fishing Fury, and the 2009 line looks very promising. Hopefully we can get our hands on some of these quality reels to test out!

Re: Chasing Barracuda - Anegada, British Virgin Islands
Clive (29 months ago)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 [...]
