Technology Versus Experience

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.

Backyard Fishing

I’ve always wanted to live on a property with a lake, pond or river. To be able to walk into your yard and fish would be a dream come true. My friend Yuri recently started a new job that has him living on a beautiful property that not only has a pond, but three ponds. Not only three ponds, but three ponds full of largemouth bass. We were chatting online just now and he disappeared for 5 minutes then sent me an email with titled, “Fish I caught while chatting with you.


Lucky sob, even if it was a small one. (side note: while the fish may appear to be small, it isn’t, Yuri’s hand is as big as a baseball glove. Seriously.)

Reel Deal Of The Day

I keep an eye on prices of the rods and reels I want, just in case I win the lottery or find myself with a large sum of money for no apparent reason. Of course, these situations never arise, but it doesn’t keep me from dreaming. Jon picked up one of Quantum best reels, the Tour Edition PT baitcaster and I had the chance to try it out last year. It’s truly an amazing reel, but with a price tag of $240 it was well out of my price range. Key word there is was. Until June 25, the reel is on sale at Cabelas.com for $110 off the normal price. That means you can get a high quality low profile baitcaster loaded with great features for only $130. Click the image below to check it out on the Cabelas website.

If you arnt into spending money, you could head over to Quantum website and submit a photo for their trophy board and have the chance to win a free Quantum Energy E770PT “Burner” reel! Be warned though, you’ll be going up against my photos!

The Oldest Living Fish

The oldest fish in captivity has now spent 75 years in an aquarium. He made his journey, via steamship and train, from Australia, to Chicago for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.The Australian lungfish known as Granddad is 4 feet long and 25 pounds and is said to be at least 80 years old.


No one is quite sure how old Granddad is — just that he’s been in Chicago for 75 years. That makes the Australian lungfish the longest-living fish at any aquarium in the world.

More From Georgia Aquarium!

We took 723 photos and 29 minutes of video in just over three hours at Georgia Aquarium last weekend. I’ve edited about 50 of the best images and I’ll be updating our gallery as I edit more pictures. I’m not sure when I’ll get the video done, but I’ll try and make some time! If you ever find yourself anywhere near Atlanta Georgia, you MUST go see this place for yourself.

Re: Chasing Barracuda - Anegada, British Virgin Islands

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 [...]
