The so-called“fish girl” feature (NSFW) came under fire this week after it was brought to the attention of the non-angling public by way of a Danish blog(NSFW) dedicated to “gender photography.”
Blogger Tomas Gunnarsson took issue with specific examples of Fish & Fri’s “fish porn” that he says glorify necrophilia and bestiality, and are also doubly objectifying of both “women and animals.”

Why We Need Uniform Airport Security Guidelines for Fishing Tackle
…You see, some airport security officer decided it was in the interest of passenger safety to ensure that no WF-8-F fly lines (you know, the kind that terrorists have been using to snag 767s out of the sky) actually made it on his plane…
Rodney King holds in his scarred hands a fishhook and a bag full of big white worms. He crouches on a dock at the edge of a lake on the outskirts of Ontario. It is early, and the sun is bright, the air quiet.
“I got these old fatties from my backyard, and they’re gonna be good luck,” he says, scooping one of the wriggling creatures from the bag. “They actually look like big ol’ maggots. Just gotta be careful: They bite.”
He spears the worm with the hook. The worm flails and then goes limp. King stands, tension draining from his face. He raises his fishing pole and casts. “I needed this,” he says. “I really needed this.”
The Supreme Court Loves Asian Carp!!
Ok, maybe that’s a stretch, but as someone who depends on a Great Lakes fishery for tons of enjoyment, this worries me:
The Supreme Court refused to order emergency measures on Monday that might prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.
“I’m a pretty dang good fisherman, so I might pursue professional fishing,” Zumaya said with a shrug. … He has pitched in just 109 games over the last six years while dealing with foot, shoulder, elbow and finger problems.
