Tip of the Week - Learn how to get a fish hook out of your body! There is a simple way to loop line under the hook, hold the eye of the hook down against the skin, and have someone jerk the hook out. It backs out following the path it went in, and does not hurt or do any more damage. Do not keep jerking if it does not come out easily, or if it is bleeding badly - get to the emergency room!
Fishing Poll - http://fishing.about.com/recreation/fishing/library/weekly/blpollhowmanyspecies.htm?terms=a1 - How many kinds of bass are there/ Do you know your bass?
