It’s safe to say that literally millions of fish have fallen to the bait’s mesmerizing cadence as it “walks-the-dog.” Fishermen blessed with the ability to rhythmically slosh and slurp this topwater bait are guaranteed crowded live wells and heavy stringers.

A great white shark of nightmare proportions was accidentally netted in the Sea of Cortez Sunday by two commercial fishermen. The kraken measured almost 20 feet in length and weighed around 2,000 pounds. The two fishermen, identified by Pisces Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas only as Guadalupe and Baltazar, were fishing on a boat that measured only two feet longer than the shark. [ Read Full Post ]
