“Very ugly. Small head, big belly. Just amazing,” is how angler Otwin Kandolf described the monster brown trout that many in New Zealand are referring to as the “submarine trout.”
Otwin caught the 42-pound, one ounce brown trout while fishing the Ohau B hydro canal. Kandolf told 3 News that he cast toward the fish after seeing it feeding on pellets. He landed the “submarine” shortly there after. [ Read Full Post ]
Over the past few months, we’ve followed the controversy surrounding the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intent to close down tailwater areas on the Cumberland River to fishing access.

It’s the scariest fish that could have made the record books.
Last month Florida state biologist Kelly Gestring netted a huge 14-pound, 3-ounce bullseye snakehead during an electric-shocking expedition in the C-14 canal in Northwest Broward. Had the fish been landed with rod and reel, it would have beaten the International Game Fish Association’s all-tackle record snakehead by 1.5 pounds. This almost-chance-at-glory in the record books doesn’t exactly excite Kelly though. In fact, he sees it as a sign that his state (like much of the rest of the country) is losing the battle against invasive species. [ Read Full Post ]
