Jessica Hodge+FollowParasites Found in US Freshwater Fish?!Turns out, eating your freshwater catch could come with a side of parasites. Researchers found two types of infectious flatworms in fish like bass, bluegill, and carp across the US—some sites had infection rates over 90%! The real kicker? Tons of people are eating these fish raw or undercooked (thanks, viral fishing vids), which can lead to nasty stomach issues. If you’re fishing or eating local freshwater fish, make sure to cook or freeze it properly. Wild, right? #FoodSafety #FishingLife #ParasiteAlert #Science73Share
Jonathan Clarke+FollowMonster Carp Breaks Record—Again!Bryan Baker just reeled in a jaw-dropping 118-pound bighead carp in Oklahoma—smashing his own state record! This beast is so massive it might even be a world record, but there’s a twist: since he snagged it (not hooked), it can’t be official. Wild, right? These carp are invasive and gobble up all the plankton, so catching them is actually helping the ecosystem. But using sonar to find them has its own drama. Would you go after these monster fish? #FishingLife #RecordCatch #InvasiveSpecies #WildlifeNews #EcoTalk #Finance30Share

kdiaz+FollowFound this vintage ryobi reel on ebay! 🎣Snagged a Ryobi Powerful Mini as new old stock on eBay and absolutely love it! Cleaned it up, fresh lube, new line - now it's my go-to river setup on a KastKing Crixus 5'6 light rod. Sure, it's not as smooth as modern reels with a million bearings, but it's smooth enough and surprises everyone who tries it. Thinking about buying another just for spare parts. That 5'6 length is perfect for river fishing around here. Reminds me of my old Shakespeare Red Wolf setup that caught so many fish... until my cousin's friend broke it. Still salty about that! Anyone else love hunting for vintage gear on eBay? #fishing #FishingLife #VintageGear #RyobiReel120Share
