Hard Work Paid Off

Game & Fish Camera Corner reader submission.

It was a rainy morning here in Michigan and I'd been out for about five hours when I saw him. Had to sneak down to the stream to get a better shot because he was stubborn and wouldn't come any closer until he thought the hen was moving closer. Shot it at 70 yards, which is way too far, but he flopped. Hard work paid off!

Sunday Afternoon Fishing

We were fishing with my family that was in town for Easter. Ever since Cole has been little he likes to take his shoes off and stand in the water to fish. As he was fishing he decided to try to get out a little further and climb out on the limb. I just looked over at him and decided to take a quick photo with my phone. Little did I know it would turn out to be one that I will print and hang up in our house.

Bass Crash Course: Bass Froggin' Game Plan

Perhaps the best bite in bass fishing comes on a hollow-body frog in the extreme shallows, with the anticipation of the blowup from an aggressive bass only exceeded by the actual strike. Crash Course host Shane Beilue shows you how.

From learning the proper driving techniques to understanding proper etiquette while on the trail, it all begins with safety.

Though off-roading naturally comes with some risks, Falken Tires' Jeremy Templeton and Game & Fish Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller explain that there are several things you can do in advance to set your adventure up for success.
