Extra credit if you’ve ever snuck out of camp after dark… this one’s for you 🌙🦎
Bonus species secured for Team Invasive thanks to @fishlikemike. Not a fish, but it still made the Fish Camp list of best-moments purely for the tree climbing effort.

Two teams. Two completely different sides of Florida fishing. 👀🎣
One crew spent the week hoofin’ across 1,200 miles of neighborhood ponds, bridge water, and roadside ditches, targeting invasive species that have carved out a foothold across the state’s freshwater systems.
The other team got the dream assignment: crystal-clear sandbars, red drum off oyster bars, and some of the cleanest sight-fishing water Florida has to offer.
That’s what made this Fish Camp so good.
Two different habitats. Two different teams.
Same final feast back at the house.
Stay ready for the full Fish Camp recap: new video coming soon w/ @sportsmans_warehouse on @fieldandstream’s YT channel 👉 2:30 PT // 5:30 ET.

Pull over at almost any pond in Florida and there’s a good chance something wild is living in it.
1,200 miles later, that theory holds up. Roadside holes, canals, ponds: 12+ species landed along the way.
Full Fish Camp video with @sportsmans_warehouse drops today on @fieldandstream’s YouTube channel.

The fight isn’t over.
One of America’s most iconic wild places could lose key federal protections in the coming days. The House has already passed a resolution to overturn safeguards for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and the Senate vote is looming—slated to hit the floor as soon as tomorrow. What’s on the line: a rollback that could open the door to foreign-owned sulfide-ore mining upstream of this fragile watershed.

This stretch goes too fast.
The days you’ll remember when you’re 80. Smells like gas, camp smoke, & SPF. Don’t blink your way through it.

One of the largest freshwater fish on 🌎
@ryan_izquierdo is helping stock juvenile Arapaima at @jurassiclivingjewels — a carefully managed Florida fishery built around one of the largest freshwater fish species on earth.
Native to the Amazon basin, Arapaima are among the largest freshwater fish on earth, capable of reaching 14 feet and 440 pounds. They’re air-breathers, surfacing every 10–20 minutes, and known for explosive topwater strikes. These fish are still juveniles. Which is wild.
At Jurassic Living Jewels, every trip is led by expert guides with a deep understanding of Arapaima behavior for an experience built on respect for the species.

Inexplicable chaos creators 🦆 ⛳️
@rnt_calls saw Masters week and thought, “you know what this needs? a $225 limited-run mallard call.” Before the first group even stepped onto the tee box Thursday morning, marsh maniacs had already done what cloud-punchers do best: sold out all 100 of RNT’s Masters-inspired “Mallards” duck calls.

some Ws weigh more than 8.48 pounds 🤝
After landing an 8.48-pound lunker to win Big Bass Splash, 27-year-old angler Will Robinson was already headed home with a new bass boat. Then his name got pulled again — he had one more shot at another boat.
He passed and handed his spot to 79-year-old Vietnam veteran Chuck Bridgewater — a man he’d never met.
Bridgewater aka Mr. Chuck went on to WIN that boat. “His story is what needs to be highlighted… I am thankful for men like Chuck,” says Robinson. (Full Story by @travishallmedia feat. @bigbasssplash1984)
