Shark MINUS head EQUALS live fisherman

February 17th 2010 00:04
Shark stories are a dime a dozen these days--especially in Australia!

BUT here's a report you'll probably find as interesting as I did.

This video tells the story of a tuna fisherman who had a run-in with a shark that required cutting off the shark's head in an effort to save the fisherman!





Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

The good and bad of conservation

February 7th 2010 05:10
fishing boats
There's a lot of difference between guys who throw a hook into the water and guys who make a living casting giant nets into the water and measuring success by the ton!

Here's a really good article I found about a commercial fisherman in Great Britain who finally had to hang it up because of government regulations and conservation measures.

Fishing in a kayak

February 3rd 2010 02:34
Although I have several irons in the fire right now, I'm also giving considerable consideration to purchasing a kayak.

Frequent readers to this blog will know I don't have a boat or even want one.

Tuna in the news (again)

January 17th 2010 01:18
Charlie the Tuna
The other day I wrote about a giant tuna and the record price it set at a Japanese auction.

I found a follow-up to the story reporting diners have been urged to avoid the tuna because numbers of its species, the blue fin, are falling.

Matt Wilson--he flies, he swims...

January 14th 2010 02:36
I must be going through Matt Wilson overload this week!

This video shows more about his demeanor than I could ever tell! In this clip he jumps from a helicopter into the ocean and wrestles a marlin! Either one would probably be an accomplishment for the average person!

You sometimes hear about someone watching "the grunion run" but, have you ever wondered what it means?

Will we ever see Jaws 5?

November 15th 2009 01:58
Jaws 5 poster
If fishing isn't your way to pass the time, a movie may be just the thing. If that's the case, you can combine the two with Jaws.

Most people know the story of Jaws--a great white shark terrorizes a beach at Martha's Vineyard. Unfortunately, Jaws also spawned three sequels--none equaling the compelling qualities of the first film.

A real life JAWS?

Great White Shark

Do you remember the scene near the end of JAWS where the shark leaps onto the back of the boat?

Another coldwater shark

October 6th 2009 00:28
I talked about the Salmon Shark a while back but discovered another shark that makes its home in cold waters. This time we'll meet the Greenland Shark.

You can find the Greenland Shark around Greenland (naturally) in addition to North Atlantic Polar regions and very occasionally as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. More readily though, one may turn up in the St. Lawrence River or Gulf or Maine.

Tidal rivers

September 18th 2009 00:14
urban fishing

I've noticed a lot of information on bull sharks can be found on television lately. This post ISN'T going to be about bull sharks. Instead, I want to devote a paragraph or two to where you sometimes find the bull shark--in tidal rivers. Exactly what is a tidal river?

Let's cut the legs off of dogs and cats!

August 5th 2009 20:51
I've been able to catch some of Discovery's Shark Week and heard something interesting the other day.

I tuned in late so I don't know if the person on screen was a researcher, diver, or just someone with an avid interest but he was talking about "shark finning." That's the practice of catching sharks, cutting off all their fins for soup, and then, throwing the still living shark back into the water to drown.

Antarctic Sea Creatures studied

August 2nd 2009 02:30
New sea life has been discovered in the frigid waters of the Antartic Sea according to this clip from YouTube.

Many new creatures were filmed or captured including sea spiders that were, as the clip says, "...as big as dinner plates" and squid with tentacles that were 6 meters long. (That's basically 20 feet for us less scientific types!)

Saltwater fish numbers decline

July 19th 2009 00:06
underwater
Where did all the fish go?

It should come as no surprise that the number of saltwater fishes is declining. The eye opener is that species not targeted by fishermen are also being reduced.

NZ record but, will it stand?

July 6th 2009 00:27
blue marlin
A Kiwi angler, Ross Jameson, managed to land a 483.4 kilogram blue marlin. That's well over 1,000 pounds!

I like his response to a question posed by the press--... asked how he would assess his fishing career now, he said: "Well, it certainly got a bit of a boost, didn't it?"

A little more about fish hearing

June 30th 2009 01:16
underwater cave

If you want to start a debate among anglers, or anyone who even remotely cares about fish, just ask them if fish can hear.
