Catch-and-release Imposes a Powerful Code | OutdoorHub

Catch-and-release Imposes a Powerful Code | OutdoorHub: "Tom Heberlein pulled an elk roast from his cast-iron pot, plopped it onto a platter, and poured the pot’s steaming potatoes and vegetables over the tenderly-roasted meat.

Two or three bites later, we praised Heberlein’s cooking and asked him to forward our thanks to his friend Paul Grover for sending the elk meat northward. We wouldn’t be eating so well if Grover hadn’t shot the elk with Simonson when visiting him in Colorado"

The reason, of course, is that a jig is unobtrusive, yet by changing its weight – from 1/16-ounce for shallow water all the way up to 3/4-ounce for deep water or heavy current – you can cover all the various options."

Cranking Out The Hits | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Savvy tournament anglers frequently rely on crankbaits to help them eliminate nonproductive water and locate areas that hold concentrations of bass. Since competitive fishing makes you race the clock even on practice days, it only makes sense to employ a lure that quickly combs subsurface structure and cover. No other lure keeps pace with a crankbait."
