Blue Koi Tattoo

We’ve seen the blue koi before, but never in tattoo form. A good tattoo is a work of art, but a good coverup is a masterpiece! This tattoo used to be a very dark tiger, but was covered up by this blue koi from Thai Tattoo Studio.

I must say, the toughest versus opponent we’ve ever covered has got to be the Barbie fishing rod. Coming in with several high ranking wins, like Black Drum, Catfish, and even Blue Shark!

The catfish posts claims a loss, but I’ve never seen it. As far as I’m concerned the Barbie fishing rod has a flawless 4-0 record and has even defeated one of freshwaters top predators- the muskellunge.

They Came From The Canal!

Environmentalism might seem pretty boring, but life is what you make of it. If you really want people to start taking the environment seriously sometimes those people need a little creative kick in the pants to jailbreak their thought processes into reality. This poster from Earth Day 2010 created by students at the University of Chicago catches your eye as a 1950's style horror poster, but instead makes a commentary both about the dangers of the asian carp, but also the hysteria surrounding their possible spread to the great lakes.

“We wanted it to be fun. Environmentalism can be all gloom and doom…and sometimes our students too…”

…And that’s certainly true. Admittedly, we greenies can be at times…un-fun. And, U of C is not exactly considered a party school…

“We were looking to engage in a different way. The hysteria over the carp, while hundreds of other invasive species threaten the Great Lakes, can sometimes feel like one of those 1950’s movies…”

Chinese Arithmetic

If you have a benefits package that includes any kind of insurance at all, or if you drive a car or have a boat and boat insurance, you owe your protection, and the need to pay for it, to the Chinese. Believe it or not, that’s where the insurance industry, in all of its insanely large glory, got its start.

It all started with rice farmers and merchants who would travel down the often perilous river rapids of mainland China to deliver their goods to market. Because the loss of a boat and its cargo could spell disaster for anyone, the travelers came up with an idea of devising a system where the risk would be shared by everyone.

It was virtually guaranteed that some boats were going to capsize and lose their cargo on the trip, but by banding together and sharing the risks and profits, each of the merchants minimized their potential losses. If a particular merchant’s boat capsized, the remaining merchants would give him a share of their profits, and sometimes even cover the expense of a new boat. This revolutionary idea came about in the 3rd Century BC. That’s about 2,300 years ago. And you thought boat insurance was a new thing.

The idea took root, and appears to have spread west through Babylonia and into the Greek and Roman Empires. Life and health insurance came into being in the Graeco-Roman period.

Of course, when most of us think about boat insurance, Chinese merchants are the farthest thing from our minds, unless you happen to be in the Chinese boat trade. What we want to know is that if someone steals our boat, or if we hit a rock and sink it while we’re out bass fishing, we’re going to be able to replace it.

Next time you visit your agent, break out the old Chinese abacus and make sure that the amount of coverage you have is going to be enough to do what you want it to do, if you should have an accident. All too many boat owners are unpleasantly surprised to find out that their coverage was not what they thought it was. Unfortunately, whether you’re a Chinese merchant or a bass fisherman from the Louisiana bayou, when your boat is lying at the bottom with a hole in it, it’s too late to make sure you have the coverage you thought you had.

Surfer Captures Great White Sharks Following Him On Video

Straight out of the “OH SH*T” department, we have this video of surfer Chuck Patterson on a stand-up paddle board who notices a few extra fins in the water and decides to put his underwater camera down to see what’s going on down there. Turns out it was two great white sharks deciding if he’d make a good dinner, luckily though he made it out without any injuries! Personally, I’d crap my pants and I’m not ashamed to say it.

the day before I shot this video, i was SUP surfing with a couple friends and 2 sharks circled us for about 15 minutes. the next day, i decided to go back out at around the same time and take my GO PRO HD HERO camera mounted on a 10 ft pole and do some exploring.
Sure enough within 5 minutes a 9 ft shark came out of no where and circled twice and slapped his tail on my board before disappearing. then a minute later a 7 ft young juvenile Great White swam circles around me for 12 minutes. It was an unreal experience that I will cherish forever. chuckpattersonsports.com

Another great video on a Go Pro Hero HD, I really want one of these badly!

Piranha 3D Is Here!

If you’re a fan of B movies, then you’ve probably been eagerly waiting for this one! I love this type of movie personally, but being a fan of the original Piranha movie I was a little skeptical about this one originally. After seeing the cast though, which includes the one and only Richard Dreyfuss, and Alexandre Aja as the director, I was completely on-board. If you need anymore convincing then that, just check out the trailer!

Redneck Fishing Tournament Teaser

The perfect end to the work week. A redneck fishing tournament is probably the only tournament where drinking, mudslinging, and sinking your boat are all part of the fun!

We came, we saw, we fished, we partied, we swam, we sank, we saved the boat, and though the fun guys did not win the tournament competition, we were victorious in the trials and tribulations that come with trying to have too much fun on the river. This is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. Merely the tip. Stay tuned for the full episode soon. Thanks again to Dusty and Kenny for writing and performing the catchy fun guys song. Shot & Edited by T.A. Snyder.

The Trollin’ Bobber… Oh, You’re Getting Trolled Alright…

File this one under “ashamed I didn’t think of it”- or maybe just file it under “ashamed”, heh. I’ll be honest, I love infomercials. Being a child that grew up with some severe insomnia I would often sneak out of my room and watch tv in the middle of the night and sure enough infomercials were the #1 thing on TV at 4am. I don’t just like infomercials, I’m a connoisseur!

A good infomercial can make you laugh, but only a great infomercial can make you laugh and hide your face in disgust at the very same time. This, my friends, is a great infomercial.

Iowa Mudslide

One day you’re sitting on the back porch of your $500,000 home watching the sun set over Lake Delhi in Iowa’s Delaware County, thinking about maybe taking your boat out later in the week if the weather’s right. The next day you’re staring at an enormous mudflat from the back porch of your $95,000 home, and wondering where Lake Delhi went. Sure, some of it’s still in your living room, but for an entire Lake to just vanish like that is crazy. But, it’s exactly what happened when the dam burst recently, damaging homes, businesses, boats, and more. Hopefully you had boat insurance.

No insurance policy in the world is ever going to restore the value of the 1,000 houses and cabins built on Lake Delhi, of course. Even the ones that weren’t damaged have suffered the ignoble fate of being instantly transformed from lakefront property with a view to Mudville. And face it, who wants a piece of land on a mud flat?

Lake Delhi was formed when the dam was constructed over 80 years ago, and has been one of the area’s best recreation areas ever since. The dam hasn’t been used to produce electricity in a long time, but boaters and sportsmen have certainly enjoyed the lake.

Those with boat insurance can probably find another lake for their new boat, while those without it will likely do without for a while. At the very least, they’ll have to search through 9 miles of muddy hell to find their boats.

With any luck, the dam will be rebuilt. Federal programs may pay for as much as 75% of the rebuilding process, with the state of Iowa kicking in 10% and the local homeowners association and governing bodies kicking in the final 15%. What’s 15% on a dam cost nowadays, anyway? We’re not sure, but our guess would be somewhere around a hell of a lot. If the federal money is not granted (pending it being declared a disaster), it is unlikely the area will be able to afford to rebuild the dam. Even if they are, it will be quite some time before anyone pilots a boat on the new Lake Delhi.

This all goes to show you that anything can happen. It doesn’t pay to skimp on insurance coverages, be they home owner’s, boat insurance, or any other. After all, the last thing you want to worry about when you’re looking at a mudslide where the lake in your back yard used to be is whether or not you can fix or replace your boat.

Follow the best sport on earth

Bass fishing is in many ways one of the best sports on this earth. It’s import for all bass enthusiasts to stay with the game. The easiest way to do this is whatching the show on TV. Even better, on HDTV. The sound, the quality, the brilliance.

This is why I use Direct Sat Tv. Easy to setup, no cables and affordable. This is just a recommendation, but with over 28 movies and the best sport channels you can’t go wrong. Take some time off and look in to it.

The reason I’m sharing this with all of you is Free for 3 months deal. Gives you some time to test it out. Just like new baits. Test it, like and love it.

Cheers and let me know if you enjoy their service.

Shark Attacks on Kayaks

Contrary to what you might think after watching the fourth sequel to Jaws, shark attacks are very rare. In the entire 20th Century, there were only 108 unprovoked shark attacks on the Pacific Coast. Several of them were attacks on boats, including five on kayaks. We doubt most people take out boat insurance on their kayaks, but if you’re going paddling with the sharks, it might not be a bad idea.

Most kayaks are between nine and fourteen feet long. Ocean kayakers tend to favor the longer boats, as they offer more stability. Smaller kayaks are favored by river paddlers for their increased mobility and maneuverability.

Generally speaking, shark attacks on kayaks don’t end up with anyone getting seriously hurt. Make no mistake, that doesn’t make them any less scary. Even if you do carry boat insurance on your kayak, it’s probably the last thing on your mind when you know you have a shark in the water that’s potentially bigger than you and your kayak combined.

As most people know, sharks don’t eat kayaks. They just don’t taste very good. In general, sharks don’t even eat human beings. We just don’t have enough meat on our bones to make a worthwhile meal for the average shark which happens to be big enough to eat us. They much prefer seals.

Still, from thirty feet below the water, a surfboard or a kayak can look an awful lot like a seal, especially to a creature which arguably isn’t the brightest fish in the ocean to begin with. Generally, attacks on boats of any kind are by Great Whites. Most other sharks simply aren’t large enough to mess with something that big.

Of course, Mako sharks have been known to attack boats occasionally as well. As the world’s fastest shark, and one which attacks from behind, you’re in a bad situation if a Mako takes undue interest in your kayak. He can swim 50 miles per hour, and you’re definitely not going to be able to out paddle him.

Unlike the Mako, Great Whites are ambush predators. They generally strike from 30 feet or more below the surface, in a burst of speed so intense they have been known to completely leave the water while attacking. Fortunately, Great Whites are also finicky eaters and usually won’t return for a second bite if they didn’t like the first one. So, if you have a Great White following you, as intense as it can be, you probably don’t need to worry. At least until he dives, that is.

If you find yourself the unlikely and unlucky victim of a shark attack while kayaking, try to hold on to your paddle. It can be used to jab the shark on the snout, which is the best way to discourage it from seeing if the kayaker tastes any better than his boat.

Invasive Carp Are No Laughing Matter- Ok It’s Kinda Funny…

The invasive asian carp are causing massive destruction across the midwest, and Illinois (my home state) seems to be one of the most affected. I have a few more related posts that I’ll try and have up later today/tomorrow about how even the US Army has been called in to help prevent the asian carp from making it in to the great lakes.

While this invasive species is no laughing matter, this video is quite hilarious.

Think that was cool? Check out the Redneck Fishing Tournament where guys are taking an active part in capturing this invasive species and removing it from their local waters.
