Quebec Woman Killed by Black Bear while Fishing

In a piece of very sad news, a woman in Quebec was killed by a black bear.  The woman had gone fishing when she was attacked.  No one knows the details of the attack as she was alone.  While we welcome the surge in black bear population in Pennsylvania, everyone must remember that black bears can be dangerous.  Mauling-deaths by black bears are extremely rare but can happen.  Use common sense and be aware if you are fishing in an area with lots of bear.

Thank you Fish Fishburn

I was watching the show Bass Champs and observed weigh-in host Fish Fisburn tell a tournament angler to lift his big bass straight up.  I am assuming and hoping he did this to avoid the jaw injury that can happen with other holds.
