The largest recorded Muskellunge caught was 67.5 inches long and weighed 67 pounds, 8 ounces. This fish was caught in Wisconsin in 1949.
Refraction is used in fishing when selecting the appropriate fishing line and hook size to minimize the visibility of the line underwater, making it less likely to be seen by fish. By understanding how light is refracted in water, fishermen can choose fishing lines that are less visible to the fish, increasing their chances of catching a fish.
The largest fish ever caught is a whale shark, with the largest on record measuring around 41.5 feet in length. Whales sharks are filter feeders and pose no threat to humans.
To make an underwater fish light, you can use waterproof LED lights and submerge them in the water. Ensure the lights are securely attached to a weighted base to prevent them from floating away. You can also use a waterproof casing to protect the lights from getting damaged by the water.
Lead is a common dense metal used in fishing sinkers due to its high density, making it effective for quickly sinking bait or lures to desired depths. However, lead has environmental concerns and alternative materials like tungsten are becoming more popular.
Some popular fish finder GPS combo units include the Garmin Striker Plus series, Lowrance Elite Ti2 series, and Humminbird HELIX series. The best option depends on your budget, specific needs, and preferences in features such as screen size, resolution, and mapping capabilities. It's recommended to do research, read reviews, and even try out demo units if possible before making a decision.
The density of Lead is 11.35kg per cubic metre this means that 100cm X 100cm x 100cm = 1 cubic metre so 1000000 cubic cm makes 1 cubic metre 1 cm cubed of lead = 11.35/1000000 =0.00001135 kg 0.01135 grams of lead in 1 cm cubed
EDIT: The density of lead is 11,340kg per cubic metre - not 11.35kgs - Water has a density of 1,000 kgs per cubic metre, lead does not float on water, but it would if a cubic metre of it only had a mass of 11.35kgs!
Otherwise the formula used for the calculation above is correct.
1cm3 of lead has a mass of 11.340g
respiratory system. It includes organs like the lungs, trachea, and bronchi which work together to take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.

To collect nightcrawlers with electricity, you will need a method called "worm grunting" which involves vibrating the ground to drive the worms to the surface. Equipment needed includes a wooden stake, a metal rod, a hammer, and a tuning fork or other vibrating tool. By driving the metal rod into the ground and vibrating it with the tuning fork, you can attract the nightcrawlers to the surface where they can be easily collected.
Roughly 30-40% of golfers also enjoy fishing as a recreational activity. Fishing and golfing share similarities in relaxation, patience, and being outdoors, making them complementary hobbies for many enthusiasts.
The Grand Banks fishing area was discovered by John Cabot in 1497 while he was exploring the North Atlantic for England.
The exact inventor of fish hooks is unknown, as they have been used by various cultures throughout history. However, evidence suggests that fish hooks have been in use for thousands of years, with some of the earliest examples dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Mesopotamians.
When a fish rolls on a fly, it typically indicates that the fish is inspecting the fly or trying to knock it off its territory. This behavior doesn't necessarily mean the fish will bite, so it's important to continue varying your presentation to entice a strike.
The world record redfish, also known as red drum, was caught in 1984 off the coast of North Carolina. The record redfish weighed 94 pounds and 2 ounces.
The longest northern pike ever recorded was 58 inches (147 cm) long. Northern pike have been known to grow even larger in the wild, with reports of individuals reaching up to 60 inches (152 cm) or more.
Wild brown trout typically live between 8 to 10 years, although some can live as long as 20 years. Factors such as environment, food availability, and predation can influence their lifespan.
well... they eat anything that they can get their mouths on, small fish, leeches, chipmunks (if they fall in the water), frogs, baby otters, birds (all kinds), martins, and basically anything that is meat and is smaller than them, even their own kind.
Big pike generally do not eat small minnows, frogs and bugs. Their main food is Walleyes. The big pike will usually hang out where they can ambush and devour Walleyes. The prime ambush area is points leading into shallower bays. Big pikes are guerilla leaders on their own. They will also hang around rocky points, shoals, islands and other places where there are plenty of Walleyes. The most obvious place to get a big trophy pike is at the mouth of a stream or river gullies between islands. The big pike just sits there quietly, waiting for Walleyes to swim past them.
Northern Pikes are known to be very easy to deal with; it will hit just about any lure. The most popular lures for Pike are the "red & silver" and the yellow "five-of-diamonds" Daredevils. Pike are also known to hit jigs, Rapalas and Thunder sticks. Some of the biggest pike have been caught with small jigs. It makes a perfect sense because the big pike will patrol the outer parameter of the schools of Walleyes.
Pike loves to play with your bait. A big pike has the habit of hitting the lure and bait many times before falling to the bait. So you need to be very patient till you catch that elusive Pike. If you get a big pike on and then lose him in the process, just wait a little while and he will hit again for sure. They are so voracious, that they forget quickly and start to feed again.
Most anglers try to use Dare devils and one very effective way to maximize the attraction of a Daredevil or other spoons is to hard slap them. What you attempt to do is cast towards your target zone but cast up very high so that your lure falls into the area you intend to fish. Jerk your line towards you when the lure is just above 2 to 3 feet above the surface. This makes the lure slap on the surface. If you are doing it perfect, you can hear the Daredevil slap. The sound of spoon will trigger a feeding response. With clear water, the red and silver color lure works best. With muddy or iron-rich, clogged water, a yellow Five-of-Diamonds Daredevil seems to work better. In muddy or iron-rich water, rattle baits are far better as the pike can locate your lure purely by sound.
The World record brown trout was caught in May of 1992 on the Little Led River, in Heber Springs, Arkansas.... It weighed 40 lbs. 4 oz. and was caught by Howard "Rip" Collins. The previous world record also existed in Arkansas, and was caught out of the North Fork River.
Fishing lures can be purchased from fishing stores. They can also be purchased online. But for the most part, fishing lures are available at stores where fishing material is sold.
Different species have different needs from their vision and may well see (Infra red/Ultraviolet etc?) and other totally different light frequencies from humans. They may also see some colours vividly and other colours as shadows, so their vision works differently from ours because different things are important to them. No doubt they will see whatever colours they need to see for their survival in their natural habitat.
Because, managed correctly - with quota systems, and restricting the number of days a boat is allowed to go to sea - fishing is a sustainable industry ! It's only when limits are removed, that boats can catch as much as they like - decimating stocks to a point where there will be no mature adults to perpetuate the species.
