Kenneth Dahl Paintings

Kenneth Dahl is a retired painter from Washington state who wrote us a few weeks back to ask us what we thought of his paintings. These are my two favourite photos that he included, the second one is absolutely amazing. He’s also sent us a painting he just finished that I’ll post later.

Tell us what you think!

Earthquake Brings Squid to California

A recent earthquake in California has shaken up a large group of Humboldt squid and sent them straight in to the beaches of La Jolla. Local residents were shocked and say they’ve never seen anything like this before. Check out the video!

This isn’t the first time we’ve covered the Humboldt squid, and when not confused by whatever occurred underwater during the quake they can even be quite aggressive and dangerous. In Mexico they refer to them as diablo rojo.

Raw video from the beach can be found after the break.

Man Wrestles Shark To Save Friend

A few divers were spear fishing for tuna in the Gulf of Mexico when a 12 foot tiger shark approached them. The encounter got heated when the shark began circling one of the divers. Sharks typically circle their prey to get a good look, and then close in if they decide they want to attack. As the tiger shark started to move in, the executive decision was made to attack it before it got any closer. Diver Craig Clasen wrestled the beast for two hours to protect his friend, spearing it seven times, and finishing it off with a knife.

tiger shark fight

“I wasn’t there to hunt the shark, it was a defensive move for me and I would do it again. Unfortunately it had to be done and its not something I was proud of. It was a situation that presented itself to us. This was one of those rare instances where we had to protect ourselves.

‘I have so much respect for sharks in general. With the amount of time that we spend out there we are exposed to so many potential risks.”

Spear Fishing Is Easy

A little too easy…

Rapala Husky Jerk

"The very next day I stuck gold and hooked into a nice little muskie. He couldn't believe it, but I knew there had to be bigger ones. The next time we visited the lake we came better prepared with bigger reels, heavier line, and bigger lures. It wasn't long before I had another beautiful muskie, this time caught on a Rapala Suspending Husky Jerk, a lure that despite its small size, has caught me several big fish. Jon also landed his first muskie on that trip, an incredible 47 inch giant that was fooled into attacking an Original Floating Rapala."

OFN Invitational – Lake Nipissing, June 26-27 2004

We contacted Lakair Lodge the day before the OFN Crayola Invitational pike tournament to make sure there was a place for us to stay. Luckily there was, so we got all of our gear together and headed out the next day. Neither Jon or myself had ever traveled so far north, but we looked forward to it with great anticipation. The drive was long, but the thoughts of unexpected adventures ahead helped pass the time.
