Fish Are the Kittens of the Sea

They say you learn something new everyday. Today I learned that fish are the kittens of the sea. I also created my own sea kitten. His name is Rubarb, and he likes to eat other sea kittens.

Sea Kitten Fact: “Like their surface-dwelling cousins, the land kittens, sea kittens enjoy being petted. Their lack of arms makes it difficult for them to pet back, but they often gently rub against each other as a sign of affection.”

Creepy.

Thanks OFNC!

Name That Fish!

I figure I know quite a bit about fish. I read a lot about different species and I’m always happy to come across new fish I don’t know about. So here’s a new game to test and expand your fish knowledge, name that fish!

TIP: This fish has made an appearance on Fishing Fury before!

UPDATE: The correct answer is Pirarucu!

While browsing the interwebs for fishing info I often stumble across some pretty funny sites. While this one isn’t fishing related, Engrish Funny is definitely worth a look.

If you like this type of stuff, be sure to check out the site that started it 10+ years ago, engrish.com.

Technology Versus Experience

Clive Mathias — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:38:11 +0000

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.

High School Student Wins $100000 In Fantasy Fishing

“I had tried fantasy baseball but thought it was boring. At about the same time I saw fantasy fishing on FLW Outdoors, I read about it in ESPN Magazine,” Yandell added. “The magazine article said it was up and coming, it was fun, and anyone could win, so I decided to enter.”

I didn’t even know Fantasy Fishing existed until today, but I like it already! Apparently this is the highest fantasy sports payout in the world, so lets see if we can get a Fishing Fury reader to win the big prize. But if you win, you gotta take us fishing!

Thanks Stephen
