Not What You Want To See Jumping Into Your Boat

Don't Want This Jumping Into Your Boat

Holy Crap! What do you do when a 10ft 1,000lbs Great White shark jumps in your boat? First, you get as far away from it as possible and then you call over a boat with very strong lifting hook and get it the heck out of your boat!

Here is a quote from one of the articles talking about it:

“Next thing I know I hear a splash, and see a white shark breach out of the water from side of the boat hovering, literally, over the crewmember who was chumming on the boats portside.”  Schroder automatically sprang into action and pulled the crewmember quickly away towards the stern of the boat’s platform into safety. The crewmembers all jumped towards the stern of the boat as the 3m, 500kg, shark landed on the top of the fuel and bait storage containers. The shark had landed with only half of its body onto the boat and Schroder and her team hoped that as it thrashed it would make its way back into the water. But instead the panicked shark worked itself into the boat.

And if you are shark loving researchers then work your but off saving the shark and making sure that it travels out to sea the way it is supposed to.  For the full incredible story follow the link.

Alaskan Sea Monster? You Be The Judge

Alaskan Sea Monster


This is just a lousy photo since the video won’t embed properly and therefore I can’t show it in this post. However, here is the link to the Discovery Channel video.
This is an interesting video that doesn’t really show much until the head of the creature surfaces. And then you are like, “Huh? How does that work?” What do you think?

What Would You Do If You Were Face to Face With a Mountain Lion?

Mountain Lion

Well a Utah Man found himself in this very situation.  He was working on his driveway when the mountain lion approached. And what did he do? He kicked the Mountain Lion right in the head (that takes some major cajones).  Not only does he get to tell everyone that he took on a mountain lion face to face but he also gets to show off the fang mark that the lion left on his toe. Unfortunately, he was wearing crocs when he kicked the lion (I would probably leave this part out of the story, really, who wears crocs except babies and kayakers?) and one of the lion’s fangs went through and cut his toe.

Still, how many people can boast that they took on a mountain lion and won? For more info Click Here.

PS – I know this doesn’t have anything to do with beer or fishing but I had to give the guy props!

Gunnison River Floating is HOT!


I am spending a month or so in Crested Butte, Colorado and I got here just when the rivers were fully dropping into shape. And oh boy has the fishing been good. I have floated three times so far and every float has been getting better and better. If you have a chance to fish in the Gunnison Valley you should come and fish. Since the water has been so high all summer the floating is going to be straight up incredible all the way through October.

The flows are high and the floats are fast but the fish are eating. If you have questions or need more info on floating the Gunnison River check out Dragonfly Anglers. You can give them a call at (800) 491-3079.

This evening I had a chance to float with Ryan Gluek of Double Haul Anglers. The fishing was ridiculous and thanks to some tricky rowing I was lucky enough to land this beautiful, porky rainbow. Now is the time people – get out there!

First Ever San Diego Beer Con

San Diego Beer Con

What an amazing idea! A conference that talks all about beer while drinking beer and watching beer things. It is like a beer festival but with key speakers and people doing more than just drinking (but there will be plenty of beer to consume).  The conference will be in downtown San Diego the weekend of August 27th.  For more info Click Here.
