		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Dave launched his new Facts of Fishing FYI on YouTube - a weekly YouTube show that offers a different (and I say that with tongue in cheek) look at fishing. Only Dave and his semi-twisted mind could come up with something like this and I think you'll all like what he's done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's almost as if FLW is purposefully doing the opposite of what the anglers want.  I don't know for sure but I am willing to bet next year's circuit will draw even less participation than this year's meager 90-boat turnout.  Anyone wanna bet?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what do bass clubs need to do in order to prevent their slow death?  In my opinion, it boils down to the money.  Take the money out of the equation and people are more apt to share information.  If you need your weekend bass club winnings to pay your boat payment; 1) maybe you shouldn’t own a boat and/or 2) if you want to show just how big a stick you are, go fish a AAA Pro/Am or draw event where there’s real money involved.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, since Cal, JIP and Zander gave me this place to write whatever the hell I please, I’m going to use some of the space to vent my frustration.  This blog is bound to upset, tweak and outright piss off some.  If you end up in one of those categories, I’m sorry.  But, I hope you will just listen to my opinions and maybe contribute to the dialogue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a worm that was very popular as one of the first flipping worms but also held a very soft spot in the socal anglers' hearts on Castaic in the smoke color.  The worm has been out of production since the really early 80s (I'm talking maybe 1980) and my old boss at Bob's Tackle in Norwalk actually went in partnership with a guy to bring the worm back around 1982.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By this time we had drawn a crowd of onlookers – namely a group of people from Ohio who had never seen the likes of a sturgeon. Unfortunately for me, this group, mainly consisting of kids and a parent or two, all decided to take front row seats at the water’s edge. As I guided the fish towards shore, the fish saw the large crowd, their feet nearly in the water, and turned tail back downstream in another run that was longer and faster than the initial run. Here I am again, out of bank to run down and nearly out of line.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After 15 minutes of playing tug of war in the middle of the river, the fish decided to come back towards the shore. Unfortunately for me, it went directly to a deep hole next to the bank where the line would rub against every rock between me and the fish. These fish didn’t survive all these millennium by being stupid. After a 2-minute soak in the hole, it decided to head straight into the middle of the river towards the turbine wash and pow, I was on my ass. The 80-pound line parted and my first “real” sturgeon was gone.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say I was impressed would be an understatement.  Here you have a fish that weighs 300 pounds in the freshwater that, when hooked, clears the water and then sulks in the depth of the river until either the angler or the fish wears out.  Sturgeon, in my best description, are the freshwater combination of a mako shark coupled with a yellowfin tuna.]]></description>
