Fishing with outdoor writers is something I do with regularity, as part of my profession. It’s my job to lead the industry’s top story tellers to the fishing of a lifetime – most often the pursuit of smallmouth on the Great Lakes. Whether its magazine writers, TV show hosts, or Internet icons, they all anticipate coming to this part of the world and wrestling in smallmouth so big they look l...

With this opportunity is why Iâ...

I wanted to take a minute and thank Plano for helping us to raise over $20,000.00 for children with life threatening illnesses. With Plano’s generous corporate sponsorship and the help of many others we raised enough money to send 7 children on their hunt of a lifetime, including a very special young man Douglas Fickel.

It seems most of my life and hunts are documented on camera for obvious reasons. Between Realtree Roadtrips, Turkey Call, and Bone Collector TV shows we need all the footage we can get to produce quality episodes. Every once in a while however the cameras get left at home and the hunt still goes on.
Coming back from an event the other day, my wife and I decided last minute to ...

Gamblers have Vegas and Atlantic City. Bowhunters chasing Pope and Young whitetails have Northeast MT or more specific The Milk River. The Milk River has been a long time favorite of mine since I started working at Realtree in 1995. No secretes about this spot anymore, lush fields of alfalfa and limited bedding around the rivers edge make evening bowhunting a guaranteed chess ma...

Thought I would stop by and let everyone know about my recent bear hunt in northern Alberta. I have been on several bear trips and this year I had a couple of goals. The first was to shoot a color phase bear, the second, was to shoot a very big bear. To make a long story short, both my goals were accomplished beyond my wildest dreams.
First Color Phase Bear of The Trip with my trusty All We...

My name is Jason Say and I am the co-host of Wired Outdoors, www.WiredOutdoors.com, and when we travel it is absolutely vital that our equipment is protected with the best. This is why we use Plano and this couldn’t be more true than on my last trip to Florida hunting hogs.

I am a stickler for organization, at home and especially in my boat! This is where Plano plays a big role with my fishing success. There is no excuse for not being as prepared as possible on the boat and tackle organization is key to catching fish, redfish or bass. I have many Plano Pro-latch boxes which my wife wishes i could stack my dresser as neatly as my Plano tackle organizers. I have fr...

It’s no secret that I love to fish a jig and will work it at almost any given opportunity. The one except is during the early hours or late afternoon nothing gets my blood pumping more than a post spawn topwater bite. Some of your best fishing stories will come from working topwater baits in the spring. A good topwater plug can be counted as one of an angler’s prized possessions, and c...
