This wasn't just any catfish...it was a talking catfish! LOL! All in good fun! In other videos, you'll ...

During these crazy times, we're encouraged to stay home, not travel, yet for most of us, the only way to keep some semblance of sanity is to get outdoors and partake in the activities we love so much such as fishing. Perhaps this is an opportunity to explore new areas near your home you wouldn't have thought to do before. In this week's Five Minute Friday, Barb Carey gives you some ideas on how you can pinpoint new areas nearby using good old-fashioned paper maps. As Barb points out, there's jus...

Imagine this scenario: You start tournament fishing the Bassmaster Youth Trail at 15 years old because you're so fired up and passionate about the sport. You turn 18 and are now too old to continue fishing the trail so what do you do next? Logically you look for a local club to join...but wait...they don't allow girls? This is the scenario that happened to this week's guest, Florida angler Christina Weber. Since 15 it seems like Christina's done a little bit of everything in fishing. From fishin...

Even more exciting, it was all caught on video and you can watch that on the LongBeard BowHunters YouTube C...

The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting everyone in ways we couldn't even have imagined.

If you are able to buy in bulk and keep your minnows happy and healthy at home through the season, you're going to save money and not have to worry about not being able to buy bait at your local shop if th...
