Tokyo police recently arrested a man with a passion for fishing - fishing for women’s underwear. Akira Hino was arrested for stealing underwear hanging from a laundry pole on a second floor balcony. Apparently, he used a 10 foot rod and snagged the undies with a hook.
When police arrived at his house they found more than 500 pairs of women’s underwear! But it gets better, he reportedly told investigators he had got into the habit of stealing undies more then 30 years ago!
Thanks Chris!

Here’s the first time we’ve seen a tench on Fishing Fury. This beauty two pounder was caught by Mark in England.

Hi mate, no cats the other night but my 1st Tench. It was only 2lbs, but if you get one at 6lbs or over it’s considered a trophy so I wasn’t too gutted. They have a lovely Bass green but you cant see it with the flash.
One of the things I love most about fishing is seeing the joy that it brings to people of all ages. Sherman was kind enough to send us these photos of his 60 year old father and the biggest trout he has ever caught! What a beauty!



I’ve caught a few blacktips in my day, but none anywhere near as big as these guys!

Mark was sure he had caught his personal best carp, but this beauty fell just short.

When it came to the net I was convinced I had my PB and guessed 17. I was surprised when it only hit 15. I was convinced it was heavier!

I strongly believe that it is very important to introduce children to the outdoors at a young age. As a child, I was very lucky to grow up near lakes, rivers and forests and learned to respect nature at a young age. A lot of kids today, especially ones in big cities are never taught to appreciate nature and I find that very sad.
I’m always delighted when people send in photos of fishing trips with their kids. Adam send in these photos of himself and his son fishing back in July. I cant wait till my son is old enough to explore new lakes with me!




This is a good week for women catching big ones! Here’s another huge pickerel that was caught at Olive the Lake.
