Mention bluegill fishing around a group of run-and-gun, high-tech bass fishermen, match-the-hatch fly fishermen or nocturnal, battle-scarred catfishermen and you will likely see a smile appear on every one of their faces.

Tip of the WeekExploring the Outdoors with Steve Gilliland

This week, Steve Gilliland explores fishing for catfish just after ice-out in his native Kansas.

Ice-Out Channel Cats
Mark hauled back hard and the rod bent sharply downward, twitching and bucking in response to whatever had fastened itself firmly to the hook on the business end of the line. "Yep, they're here" he called over his shoulder. The water churned and boiled and soon the unmistakable whiskered maw of a dandy Channel Catfish appeared as he pulled it ashore.

BUSTED: A Non-Typical Louisiana White Tail Hunt

There I was‚ sitting in my tree stand‚ with my rifle in the gun rack and a paperback book in my hand‚ when I glanced over my right shoulder and saw the biggest buck I’d seen all season staring right up at me – from thirty yards away.

Many hunters say that it’s the experience of being outdoors that they cherish the most, and not necessarily the taking of fish or game that results.  Family Fish & Game celebrates this spirit of connecting with the outdoors and at the same time connecting with your family.
