“Big” is relative. If all you’ve ever landed are bluegills, a 5-pound bass is monstrous. If you play offshore, a 1,000-pound black marlin might qualify. My friend and host of the BigWater Adventures TV show, Mark Davis, has traveled the world filming fish that can physically hurt you. Here's his best advice on beating a big fish — whatever that means to you.

In the past, anglers swarmed the Northeast coast in late winter and early spring to target flounder, creating an entire culture around the fleeting window in which these fish are available. That culture has largely dissolved, but the fish are still there for the taking. Here's what Jimmy Fee of On the Water advises to put these underdogs back on your radar — and your dinner table.

We love to fish based on memories. Captain Ross Robertson, a veteran of the Lake Erie walleye scene, sees it all the time. Returning clients go on and on about how during their trip last fall they hammered on this lure or with this presentation and they so badly want to recreate that scenario again. Sometimes it happens; often it does not. The calendar dates might align with the glory day from a year earlier, but that doesn’t mean ...

The idea of the “fall feed bag” permeates fishing media. It’s so prevalent that it’s conditioned anglers to think that come autumn, all the fish are gorging themselves in preparation for winter. To be fair, this rings true for a lot of species, especially in lakes or reservoirs that experience very little change in water level. But moving-water fish are different, and when it comes to brown trout in particular, the “fall feed bag” ...

Carp get mixed reviews in this country. Some anglers are obsessed with them. To most folks, however, they are trash fish. But no matter how you view them, we’ve all been out fishing at one point or another and laid eyes on a carp so big that it dropped our jaws. Connecticut-based guide Rowan Lytle learned years ago that if he wanted more shots at these monsters, he needed to explore the tidal sections of his home rivers. Lytle's gu...

Surf fishing and flyfishing are both challenging. It might be easy to assume, then, that combining the two presents the ultimate angling test. It's not a cinch, but it’s a lot less daunting than many people believe. Striped bass feed very close to shore, and if you can grasp a few key concepts on what to throw and where to plant your feet, the learning curve is shorter than you think.

Do you wince when a $7 lure snaps off on the bottom? Does it really hurt when a $10 bait winds up in a tree? Of course it does, but not nearly as much as losing a custom glidebait or swimbait. The most expensive offering in lure maker Dennis Perko's line-up will set you back $550. But once you understand how these pricey baits can greatly improve your success with trophy fish, the prices become more justified…even if you’re still n...
