Shark Fin Soup

Illegal fisherman are taking 70,000,000 shark fins per year killing that many sharks. This is decimating the entire shark population in the oceans which account for an entire ecosystem. If you're eating anywhere in the world and you see shark fin soup on the menu, please don't eat at that restaurant. If we don't buy it, they won't make it!

Cabela's

They have a massive selection of fishing gear at the Cabela's retail store. I would venture to say it's about 1/3 of their store's space. If you don't know what you're buying it may be a bit overwhelming but if you know it's a gold mine. I bet they have at least 3,000 rods alone to pick from. I think they have every lure manufacturer's goods on hand as well as fishing line. You could plunk down 1,000's easy. The prices aren't anything to write about but you get the selection.

Doing Well

I've caught all but 2 fish this year on lures. The last largemouth bass I hooked was on the surface at about 7:00PM while the sun was shining brightly on the lake. He was about 3 and a half pounds.
