For seven straight days, the Fish Camp Florida invasive team ran roadside ponds, neighborhood canals, bridge cuts, gator water, and the outer edge of the Everglades—stacking over a dozen species across one of the wildest missions we’ve dropped yet.

This was Ryan’s version of urban fishing: shad getting slammed in suburban ponds, “Miami mailbox” peacock bass blowing up in canal water, and a neighborhood stop producing a straight-up 10-pound mondo largemouth. Not for everyone. For these anglers? Absolute money.

From Midas cichlids that might’ve been the prettiest fish of the week to clown knife fish that can literally swim backward, every stop felt crazier than the last. And it all came back to camp for a final chef-built feast with the haul: spotted tilapia, peacock bass, bluegill, white shrimp, sunshine stock hybrid, largemouth, clown knife, green iguana, warmouth, Burmese python, and more.

South Florida looked like a suburb on the surface.
Underneath it, it was a full-blown invasive education.

This is the kind of run that gets talked about for the next 30 years.

Full Story by @travishallmedia: A 16-year-old fisherman netted two giant bull trout last fall, breaking two separate length world records kept by the International Gamefish Association (IGFA) in the process. According to recently released IGFA records, Ryder Humphries landed the “junior all-tackle length world record” on November 2, 2025 and the conventional “all-tackle length world record” a few days later on November 7.

Both of the fish measured roughly 27.5 inches or 70 centimeters in length. Logan Exton, IGFA’s Angler Recognition Coordinator, tells F&S that Humphries’ bull trout from November 2 went down as the all-tackle youth record, while his November 7 trout claimed the overall all-tackle length record. Because the trout were caught on conventional lures, they’re recognized separately from the fly-fishing length record for the species—a 31.8 incher caught by Bo Nelson in Fernie, British Columbia in 2011.

Exton says Humphries was fishing a pink grub on a jig head when he landed the youth record on November 2. Then he hooked the overall length record just five days later on a Krocodile Spoon in a rainbow-trout pattern.

𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲:
Critically endangered throughout much of the their North American range thanks to development and warming waters, bull trout are adept predators that feed almost exclusively on other fish once they reach adulthood. They grow big and fast thanks to their fish-heavy diet and voracious feeding patterns. The fish tend to migrate to headwater streams to spawn in the fall before moving back into lakes during winter months.

The biggest bull trout in the IGFA record books weighed a whopping 32 pounds. Angler N. Higgins caught that fish in Idaho’s Lake Pend Orielle in 1949. ...

The Blackfoot isn’t just a bucket-list river—it’s a comeback story. And now it’s staring down two new threats that have people paying close attention.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲:
This river was nearly wiped out in 1975 when a mine tailings dam blew out along Mike Horse Creek, sending a toxic surge through its headwaters. It took decades—and hundreds of millions in restoration—to bring it back. Today, it’s the kind of place where 20-fish days still happen, with cutthroat, rainbows, browns—and one of Montana’s last strongholds of bull trout.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱:
An artificial intelligence company is eyeing a site on the lower Blackfoot for an AI data center and an Australian-owned gold mining company could begin an exploration project as early as this spring—drilling up to 21 boreholes nearly 2,300 feet deep in the headwaters.

“This isn’t knee-jerk anti-mining,” says Montana Trout Unlimited’s David Brooks, speaking about local concerns over the mine and proposed data center. “It’s understanding what that valley’s already been through—and what it took to fix it.” Given the river’s history, both proposals are drawing increased scrutiny

April’s coming & the old pages know what that means: green banks, rising water, gobblers sounding off at first light, and every excuse in the world to stay outside a little longer. Who’s ready 👀

Y/N: you just wish you were in the boat.

This is what happens when Luke Bryan’s in charge of the invite list: Kevin VanDam, Bill Dance, Steve Harvey, and a boat full of legends go bass fishing.

For the memory bank: @iamsteveharveytv yelling, “THAT’S BILL DANCE RIGHT THERE,” while panning to @bill_dance… is pure gold. ...
