Fish alive
Consider this scenario: It’s the middle of August. The water temperature is somewhere around 90 degrees. A three pound bass is caught at 8 a.m., put in a boat’s livewell and then kept there, riding in the boat up and down the river at 65 miles an hour all day long. Then, the fish is … Continue reading
The final weigh-in

Corn fed pigs
Suggesting to deer hunters in Louisiana to stop feeding corn to deer in the Fall would be like telling restaurant owners to stop serving crawfish in the spring. Ain’t gonna happen.

Non-fishing report
I don’t like “it is what it is”. What does that mean? To heck with it? …We can’t do anything about it, so deal with it? … Don’t ask me, I heard somebody else that didn’t know anything say it? Okay, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. It’s “an idiomatic phrase indicating the immutable … Continue reading
