Awesome Shark Tattoos!

It’s not often that I see shark tattoos with this level of detail. Even in black and white, these shark tattoos look awesome!

Le Mouching- Now With angloPhone Support!

Our good friends at Le Mouching wrote to us to say that they are now posting bilingually in French and English!

Despite the fact that I took French throughout elementary school (in the US, not Canada for those interested), I can only say a few phrases with confidence* and as I’m sure many of you were I read Le Mouching through Google translate. The new english publication of Le Mouching is much more enjoyable to read, and I can even try brushing up on my French vocabulary at the same time!

Right now Le Mouching is also having a photo contest where you can win a two day guided fly fishing trip in France (airfare not included of course). So far my favourite photo is one that doesn’t even have a fish in it!

Keep up the good work guys!

* Believe it or not my French is even worse than my Spanish, at least I can understand Spanish!

French Walleye

I know them as Walleye, some people call them Pickerel. Pierre, a fisherman from France who sent in this of his catch calls them Sandre. What other names can you think of for this wonderful meaty game fish?

Hi all.
Thanks for your web site . That’s the best one i’ve found when it deals with fishing.
That’s an everyday life pleasure to glance at the incredible pictures you digged up.
Here is the picture of a Sandre (in french), i think the proper translation is Pike Perch or Zander
That’s not a monster but I don’t think you already have one picture of this species on your website, it looks really similar to Walleye.
I’ve caught this Pike perche of 3.5kg for 71 cm in a small river of Normandy two days ago.
I wish you the best
Regards
Pierre

Beautiful photo Pierre! It’s nice to see that the fall photos are coming in too. Not that you would know here in Toronto. Not to mention google is saying its going to be 19C for the rest of the week.

Two Pound Tench

I’ve received a few reader submissions lately, and I’m trying to get caught up on posting them, but October has been a busy month! Here great looking tench from France submitted by Nicolas. More to come soon!

Hi, I’m Nicolas of France. Your site is a marvel, with very nice photographs.
This is a photo of a small Tanche of 2 pounds (tench in English)…

Thanks Nicolas!

The End Is Nigh, Maybe

If the naysayers are right, by tomorrow night (in the western hemisphere) you will no longer be able to read Fishing Fury. You will no longer be able to read. You will no longer be able to get go fishing. You will cease to exist.

Luckily I’m a glass half full kind of guy, and this whole thing probably wont even be as bad as Y2k was. In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, on Wednesday September 10th, 2008, a Large Hadron Collider will be activated, sending protons traveling at extraordinary speeds in the opposite direction in massive 17-mile underground loop located beneath the border of France and Switzerland. What does it all mean? I have no clue, but it sounds pretty cool. Speaking as a scientist fisherman, I think there is zero chance that the world will end.

If by some bizarre twist of fate they forgot to carry a one and we don’t make it, so long and thanks for all the fish!
