    Video - 37 inch BROWN Trout and 39 Hours Episode ...

    My younger cousin turned me onto to Uncut Angling by saying it was his favorite fishing "show" to watch... This video of their latest episode of 39 Hours (a challenge trying to catch the biggest fish of various species in 39 hours) is insane. One team catches a 27-inch brown trout ... no big...

    Video: Homemade Drop Shot Rig for Walleyes

    Here's a cool video tip my guide showed me the other week on a walleye trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uM1I2E9bF0 I drop shot a fair amount for bass but hadn't tried this before for walleyes with this "combo" approach. It got us a couple walleyes for shore lunch. Might have to try it...

    Hunting & fishing combo day... is North Dakota the best?

    You could probably make a case that North Dakota has the best bird hunting / fishing combo in the US… although a favorite fall hunting memory of mine came at my friend’s cabin in Grantsburg, Wisconsin and we went goose hunting in the morning, muskie fishing on the St. Croix in the afternoon and...

    Suggestions on buying new outboard motor

    I'm preparing to buy a new 25hp outboard motor. Manual start, short shaft for my little river boat - just looking to upgrade from my 9.9 Mercury. I'll probably buy it from Cabela's, they are quoting $3,397 plus sales tax and a $100 license fee or paperwork fee I'm hoping to get out of. That...
