Sig Hansen to Audition for Dancing With the Stars ... But Why?

June 28, 2011

I’m not a giant fan of television these days, but when I need some mindless activity to pass an hour or two I confess to being addicted to reality TV. No, not Jersey Shore or Mafia Wives, but I love Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers and Swamp People. I’d say that Deadliest Catch is a particular favorite and even more so since I interviewed Sig Hansen who is one of the program’s biggest stars. He came across as an easy going, genuine guy who loved the outdoors and sportfishing when he wasn’t busy being the captain of the Northwestern and catching crabs.

    Pray For The Big Man-5

    by

    Outdoor Life first got to know "The Big Man" last year when our intrepid Fish America reporter Rick Bach met The E-Street Band's saxophonist Clarence Clemons on a fishing boat in the Keys.

    Sadly, the word out of Florida today is that Clarence suffered a serious stroke over the weekend. Today, a close friend of Clemons has been reported as saying that the Big Man is improving. Might be a good time to keep a fellow diehard angler in our thoughts right now. To see our interview with Clemons, click here

    First Look at Berkley NanoFil, a New Hybrid Fishing Line -1

    by

    Later this month Berkley will start shipping out NanoFil, its latest fishing line designed specifically for light and medium spinning tackle. NanoFil is a monofilament/braid hybrid that runs in extra small diameters. It's made of Dyneema (a gel-spun polyethylene), which is the same sort of material that's commonly used in bullet proof vests, windsails and Berkley's other superline - Fireline.  

    The difference between NanoFil and Fireline is that NanoFil consists of hundreds of Dyneema filaments that are molecularly bonded together, not fused together by heat like Fireline. The idea behind NanoFil was to create a line that has the strength and no-stretch, no-memory properties of a braid while retaining the smoothness of mono.

    Filmmaker Goes Swimming With Great White Sharks-6

    by

    Mike Hoover, an Academy Award winning filmmaker, aims to show that great whites are far from the brutal killers some people think they are with his latest film “Great White Shark: Beyond the Cage of Fear.”  According to the film’s distributer MODemay Entertainment, Hoover tried to debunk this myth about sharks by trying “to see the world through [the shark’s] eyes, to interact with them, touch them, maybe even form a relationship with the animal.” 

    Form a relationship with the animal?  How do you form a relationship with a fish?  Well judging by the trailer for the film Hoover and his friends achieve this by swimming freely with great whites without any protection other than an unloaded spear-gun.
