Where To Catch a Fish Bigger Than You - 0 views

  • We all dream of catching a monster fish and experiencing that thrill of a tough fight. Or maybe it’s just about the bragging rights that go along with it, either way, the bigger the better is often the mindset for anglers.

  • The king of all gamefish is the black marlin, the most entertaining and often toughest fighter in the ocean. To get to the biggest, you have to go down under and fish the waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

  • While blue marlin are famous for their speed and great jumps when fighting, a grouper uses all its muscle power to stay down at all costs. These large-mouthed behemoths can be found in most locations along the Florida coast (the current world record is in the northeast part of the state) but the Keys get the edge for the sheer amount of goliaths swimming the depths. Most commonly trophy-sized groupers get to 400 pounds, but they can actually reach up to 800 pounds and eight feet in length.

    Where To Catch a Fish Bigger Than You Report Abuse Posted On March 07, 2011 We all dream of catching a monster fish and experiencing that thrill of a tough fight. Or maybe it's just about the bragging rights that go along with it, either way, the bigger the better is often the mindset for anglers. Sometimes, the catch transcends being just another story though, and can actually go so far as making us feel like a lesser species. If you're an angler who craves excitement and is willing to travel, then it's time to go after fish that will truly awe you for their sheer size. For those ready to test their fishing mettle, here is your bucket list for catching fish bigger than you around the world. White Sturgeon - Fraser River, B.C.

Number of Lakes in the World - Current Results - 1 views

  • The world has 307 million lakes, according to calculations made by an international team of scientists. That number includes all natural lakes, but not human-made lakes such as reservoirs formed by dams. The lake count takes in ponds as small as one-tenth of a hectare (one-quarter acre). In fact, most lakes on earth are small, with nine out of ten lakes covering less than one hectare (2.5 acres). The world's largest lake is the Caspian Sea, which extends over 378,119 square kilometres (145,993 square miles), an area about the size of Montana or Germany. The Caspian Sea is in a league of its own as no other lake tops 100,000 square kilometres in area. Altogether, these natural bodies of freshwater cover 4.2 million square kilometres (1.62 million square miles) of the earth's surface. That's an area equivalent to more than half the size of the contiguous United States and makes up 2.8 percent of the earth's continents.

      quote: the beggest type of all those fish are the whale sharks. Parphrase: mountain torrents and tiny ponds to the depths of the Earth's oceans.
  • Fish are divided into three general types: the cartilaginous fish which includes sharks, skate and rays. The second type is the bony fish, which have a complete bony skeleton and are covered with bony scales. This group of fish are the most common and account for over 90% of all fish. Finally there are the lungfish, which are a special type of fish because they have two sets of breathing equipment, possessing both gills and lungs.

There were fish in the oceans before humans ever appeared on the Earth. In the world today there are more living species of fish than of any other class of backboned animals. There are around forty thousand different kinds of fish which live in every kind of water from mountain torrents and tiny ponds to the depths of the Earth's oceans.

Fishing Articles : Shallow Water Ice Fishing - 1 views

  •  
    I call it a 'system' because it's the newest way for ice anglers to take full advantage of "long-rodding," a technique once limited to the playbooks of European tournament anglers and a handful of in-the-know stateside sticks. Much like you'd approach a trout stream-crouched to prevent fish from noticing your movements-shallow water ice fishing requires stealth. Especially in situations of little or no snow cover, sitting back from the hole with the Jiggler prevents beefy shallow-water pans and 'eyes from vacating the area. And even when there is snow, shallow water fish can sense movement and variations in light from above. Orienting yourself 48- to 54-inches back from the hole definitely puts the odds in your favor.
