Deep discussion between fish...


Trout Action on the Hooch

BNKJ's own mastermind fisherman Kevin Hendren caught this nice brown trout on a recent float trip with Chris Scalley, Guide with River Through Atlanta.


Kevin RAVES about Chris and the RTA Guides-- says they can really "hook you up with some fish." Give Kevin a shout if you need RTA's number to book a trip.

The brown hit a streamer hard.  Nymphs also worked well.

Catching Red in Orange...

Scott Taylor with Compass Marketing Research shared these great redfish photos from his recent trip to Orange Beach, Alabama. 

These beauties -- caught in Perdido Pass with medium/light spinning using bull minnows as bait -- were more than 35 pounds each!



Scott and his fishing buddy caught and released four bull reds and then kept four of the 26-inch redfish for family dinner that night. Bon Appétit!

Fishing Success in Beautiful Belize

Our good friend Greg Esslinger (FTI Consulting) just came home from a successful fishing trip in Ambergris Caye, Belize with this beautiful 100 pound Tarpon!  No wonder Greg has decided to make this trip an annual tradition!

Tackle for this beauty was a 12 weight fly rod with a 20#
Ouclass tippet and a black and red tarpon toad fly.
She took two hours to boat 
once she was hooked!

We don't know this guy but WOW what a fish story!

Anthony Wichman of Kauai made Hawaii and national headlines today when he was pulled into the water this morning by what he later learned was a 230 pound Ahi Tuna!

After being pulled under by the great fish an estimated 50 feet into the sea, Anthony somehow survived to tell the story, and Anthony's 14-foot Livingston boat was rescued by the Coast Guard as well.

The Ahi Tuna, sadly, did not survive the incident but sold at the fish market for $1400 so good news for Anthony's fish-loving friends!

Watch this!  


All we can say is Wow!
