Afriad Of Fish?

Ichthyophobia, the fear of fish. Millions of people around the world suffer from this terrible phobia. Often there is no just reason that a person fears fish, but sometimes it can be traced back to a single terrifying childhood event…

Giant Pike Illustration

I’ve read legendary tales of giant pike swimming European waters hundreds of years ago. I love the idea of there being humongous versions of the fish we catch today, but until I see some real evidence I can only assume that sea monsters like this simply don’t exist, and probably never have. I stumbled across the art work of John Sibbick the other day while doing some pike research and this illustration jumped right out at me. A giant pike from a Finnish folk tale.

It’s a great image, but if you want to be technical, its actually a muskie (judging from the pointed fins).

The Kingfisher

There are a lot of birds out there with some great fishing techniques, but few make it look as spectacular as the kingfisher.

$5 Threadless Shirts!

The only thing better then a cool t-shirt is a cheap cool t-shirt, and Threadless has a bunch of them! They got a big sale, with tons of sweet shirts for $5 each. Here are a few fishing related shirts – sadly most of the normal sizes are already sold out, but if you are an extra small or double XL you may be in luck!

BVI Dreaming

As some of you know, I was born in the British Virgin Islands. I haven’t lived there since I was a little boy, but I did enjoy a prolonged stay there in 2006. I still feel homesick whenever I think of the islands and maybe one day, my family and I can move back. For now, I resort to watching old videos we made while we were there a few years back. Lots of warm weather and lots of excellent fishing, it doesn’t get much better then that.

PS. If anyone needs an island fishing guide and has the cash to cover my expenses to get there, I’m all yours!
