It's not often that fishing tournament spats end up before a state supreme court. But then again, most fishing tournament spats don't have close to a million bucks on the line.

From this story on charlotteobserver.com: 
A fishing crew from 2010’s Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament is still trying to reel in the one that got away – not the 883-pound marlin they hooked, but the $910,000 prize for the biggest catch. On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court is scheduled to take up a case that has moved from the fish scales of Morehead City to the scales of justice in Raleigh. [ Read Full Post ]

Greetings from Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, where Tim Romano and I are enjoying a brilliant week of fly fishing for goliath sea-run brown trout from the legendary Kau Tapen Lodge. It's a surreal experience to be standing in the iron-gray currents of the Rio Grande, with the wind buffeting across the stark, austral landscape, casting two-handed rods as you're being watched by guanacos and condors. And the take by a fresh brown is sheer thunder. [ Read Full Post ]

Yeah, it's a bit cliché but I want to know what you all are planning on doing differently fishing wise for 2013. A friend and I had a conversation the other day about what we'd like to learn, try, visit and do more of next year. We came up with a number of items.

Mine include really learning how to spey cast with some proficiency and starting to figure out our local reservoirs for big lakers and musky on the fly. I'd also like to bone up on my local warm water locations. Lord knows there's enough of them. I simply need to get out a bit more and do some exploring. [ Read Full Post ]

It's been about a month since we've run a caption contest. Since it's holiday time, and we're in the giving mood, we thought we'd let you all try for a pair of really nice waders. The best caption to the photo above wins a pair of Redington Sonic-Pro Wader pants that retail for $249.95.  [ Read Full Post ]

Last year, I said that 2012 would be "The Year of the Carp."  That was meant to be more of a personal New Year's resolution than a fishy twist on the Chinese New Year tradition.

Indeed, this was a carp-filled year for me. I visited a number of destination hotspots with the unique bent of chasing trash fish. For example, I went to Idaho's Snake River to fish for carp instead of trout. I went to San Diego to hang out with my buddy Conway Bowman, but we didn't chase mako sharks. We went carp fishing. I went to Michigan and caught carp... but I also caught pike, panfish and trout because you can always fish for just about anything in Michigan.
