Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics Small, dink bluegills are insufferable. Giant ’gills — true bulls — are another story entirely. I can recall with perfect clarity every hump-headed, 12-plus-inch bluegill that I have ever caught. The list requires one hand to index. The last occurred on a fishery known to grow 2-pounders. The battle was tremendous. No jumps; just powerful, determined runs. My anticipated large bass morphed into “Brutus.” He measured 12.5 inches and weighed 2.1 pounds. Reliving those catches is great and all, but I’m interested in repeating the performance.…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction: The Fraying Fabric of an Empire I look at the world in 2026, and I no longer see a beacon of liberty, but a dying empire stumbling toward its own ruin. This is not a sentiment born of pessimism, but of cold observation. The American project, hijacked by a nexus of central banking, perpetual war, and crony capitalism, has embarked on a suicide mission. The endpoint, I am convinced, will not be a soft landing into mediocrity. It will be a violent descent into widespread poverty, social chaos,…

On April 10 we reported on the first-ever release of a pen-raised whitetail deer into the wild in Oklahoma. The release occurred earlier this year as part of a state-approved CWD experiment established under a new and controversial law known as the CWD Genetic Improvement Act.  According to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Food and Forestry, which is approving and overseeing these releases, that deer was sold by a deer breeder to a private landowner, who released it in the northeast…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics A wacky rig is perhaps the most subtle, natural, and non-invasive presentation bass anglers use. It’s a very slow and finessed presentation unlike a crankbait or chatterbait. But the true beauty of the wacky rig is that bass will bite it regardless of the conditions. They’ll bite a wacky rig when the bite is wide open, and when they won’t eat anything else. It doesn’t matter what mood the fish are in; they can’t resist the slow sinking wiggle of a wacky rig. Whether you’re fishing…

U.S. Air Force airmen operated a semiautonomous jet-powered combat drone in a series of sorties recently, boosting the service’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program.The force’s Experimental Operations Unit conducted hands-on testing with Anduril’s YFQ-44A aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, California, in an effort to utilize “principles of the new Warfighting Acquisition System,” according to a Thursday Air Force release.Previously, the concept employed by the force was fully human-piloted drones, and now, “there is no operator with a stick and throttle flying the aircraft behind the scenes,” Jason Levin, Anduril’s senior vice president of engineering for air dominance and strike, said…

No matter where I travel in America and no matter the crew I hunt with, the topic of thermals eventually comes up, and the conversation inevitably boils down to a simple, predictable question: Can I get into the thermal game without busting my budget? ​It’s a natural question, given that high-performing thermals cost over $8,000. Who among us has that coin laying around for hunting gear we might use only a dozen times a year? Middling thermals average right around $4,000.…

The Marine Corps this week released a video showcasing the design and capabilities of its new Medium Landing Ship, or LSM, a vessel designed to move troops, equipment and supplies to shorelines without relying on established ports.The new LSM is based on the Damen Shipyards Group’s Landing Ship Transport 100, or LST-100, design, which has a range of 3,400 nautical miles and can beach itself to deliver over 800 tons of cargo such as vehicles, embarked forces and long range fire assets, according to the video.The ship, measuring roughly 100 meters, is also equipped with a flight deck that can…
