Tarpon Tussle
February 26, 2009 FishingThese shots were scanned and sent to us from Beach Billy and feature one of the toughest gamefishes around: tarpon.

Sailfish are not far from Doubletough HQ, about a 50 mile boat ride offshore towards the Gulf Stream, a current of warm water flowing north from the Bahamas. It is not uncommon to find them closer to shore and I’ve known them [...]

February 10, 2009 Wildlife In ActionApparently salmon fishing is a talent shared among four-legged shaggies. This series of photos show that wolves, love ‘em or hate ‘em, are quite capable of nabbing a meal alongside the bears more often associated with seasonal salmon runs.
