With his limit of 23 pounds, 3 ounces of Lake Erie smallmouth bass, Reed took the Day 1 lead Thursday at the 10th 2008 Bassmaster Elite Series event. EVENTS

Editor's Note: Today's feature comes to The Fishing Wire from Angie Michaels of FishHer.com.
Much to the girl's surprise - and the others fishing on the pier - we landed about 20 fish in an hour. One Girls Scout even brought in a 3 lb. bass! We finished up with a lesson on how to clean your catch and enjoyed a shore lunch that the girls prepared and cooked on a nearby grill. No, we didn't eat that 3 lb. bass. I'm a catch and release kind of girl. But I did bring along tin foil, lemon pepper, an onion and some fresh Talapia fish from the market. YUMMY! Try this water bottle fishing technique next time you take the kids fishing - it's an adventure they won't soon forget! |
 Fishing Wire Snapshot - Week Of July 28, 2008  Cliff Brittingham (center) reeled in this monster 61.44-pound blue catfish from the Tennessee River on July 23, 2008. Cliff and his partners, Chris and Tom, were fishing with Richard Simms of Scenic City Fishing Charters, Inc. out of Chattanooga, Tenn. This huge fish was actually captured in the city limits, not far from the famous Tennessee Aquarium. The big blue hit a fist-sized chunk of chicken breast, one of Simms' favored baits. The fish was released unharmed.
