Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Enforcement and the US Fish & Wildlife Service just concluded an investigation into a recent Craigslist post in which a man claimed to have dumped buckets of Asian carp fry into regional lakes. Details here.
Give a kid a fish and he probably won’t eat it (fish are yucky!), but teach a kid to fish and he just might have one of the most mind-bending experiences of his cute little life. See, here’s the thing about fishing: When it works, it’s crazy, especially if you’ve never caught a fish before. What’s that slimy, pre-historic looking creature doing where your worm used to be?

I seriously made myself a tuna fish sandwich for lunch today, and then got to work and saw this. A nonprofit ocean protection group has genetically tested over a thousand samples of fish from across the U.S. and found some pretty disturbing facts, especially concerning what is labeled "tuna". 84% of fish samples labeled "white tuna", for example, were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, (wait for it).......oily anal leakage.

It's a story that should make everybody want to invest in a fishing boat. A 489 pound bluefish tuna caught off the coast of Japan has just been sold for $1.76 million during an auction at Toyko's Tsukiji fish market.
A group of anglers from Australia have quite a fishing tale to tell, with the video to back it up.
