It’s no secret that I love Japan. There is not a single place on this earth that I have fantasized about visiting more than Japan. In fact, I probably think about Japan just as much (if not more) than I think about fishing on a daily basis. Even when I’m sleeping, I dream about Japan. I cannot escape it, and there is only one way for me to deal with this obsession- go there.
But since I cannot go to Japan, I read about her culture, I watch shows about her cities and streams. All the while I’m in complete envy. A great example of this was when I recently watched Satoyama: Japan’s Secret Watergarden. I can’t help but share the awesome wonder of such a place. I found all the videos on youtube, and even created a playlist so you can watch them with ease.
Stormy Kromer, maker of the awesome hats you’ll probably recall from our Stormy Kromer give-away, have just announced their Big Fish Contest. This your best chance to win a Stormy Kromer hat, they’re giving away two hats every month from now until September, in addition to that they’re giving away another hat for the “Netman” award to the biggest fish netted.
Last but not least, the grand prize for the Stormy Kromer Big Fish Contest is a huge and amazing set of gear including (take a deep breath if you’re reading this one outloud)…. A Stormy Kromer hat, Stormy Kromer jacket, Stormy Kromer pants, Stormy Kromer shirt, Stormy Kromer gloves, AND a selection of five Rapala fishing lures, a St. Croix fishing rod, and a Stone Legacy rod holder. Enough to make any fisherman the envy of everyone around him.
This will undoubtedly be one of the most epic big fish contest this year so I want to see lots of submissions from Fishing Fury readers and we’d also love to see your big fish submissions and let us know if you win anything!
Watch out for Musky Bill, we know he loves the hat he won in our giveaway and there’s no doubt that he’s always catching big fish.
Agreed, swinging spiked bats around while water skiing is probably very dangerous. That said, I'm sure these guys are professionals :D
If I'm ever in Chicago it will be very tempting to make the 8 hour [...]
Sounds good to me Jon!
Yeah I'm always big on non-lead options too. Something about the reproductive toxicity of lead makes me uneasy in the nether regions.
