Minnesota fishing trip turns crappies into a festival
Pat Kehde, guest of Tom and Ruth Robinson, fished Minnesota's Heartland Region during a cool season. She caught 296 crappies in 10 hours, releasing 278, applying chartreuse plastics to six-pound line near coontail beds. The crappie spree followed a seasonal lull, with bass and walleye thriving on Mille Lacs and other lakes.

New Mexico man completes fly rod billfish slam
New Mexico angler Jack Samson became the first to record catches of all seven major billfish species on a fly rod. He completed the grand slam Aug 17 off Cabo San Lucas with a 176-pound Pacific blue marlin aboard the Elinor, using a 14-weight rod and a two-hook fly. He began the quest in 1988 with a 105-pound Pacific sailfish and later added multiple sails and marlins across the Atlantic and Pacific, matching the hatch with his tailor-made fly.
