The Exist Legend

The giant squid (genus: Architeuthis) is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae, represented by as many as eight species. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size (see Deep-sea gigantism): recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 m (43 ft) for females and 10 m (33 ft) for males from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to thecolossal squid at an estimated 14 m (46 ft),[1] one of the largest living organisms). The mantle is about 2 m (6.6 ft) long (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles is about 5 m (16 ft). Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been scientifically documented.

On 30 September 2004, researchers from the National Science Museum of Japan and the Ogasawara Whale Watching Associationtook the first images of a live giant squid in its natural habitat. Several of the 556 photographs were released a year later. The same team successfully filmed a live adult giant squid for the first time as it was brought aboard on 4 December 2006. A live adult was first filmed in its natural habitat off Chichi-jima in July 2012 by a joint NHK/Discovery Channel team. An almost intact 400 pound (180 kg.) carcass washed ashore near the Spanish community of Cantabria during October, 2013.

Deep Water Lure Color Selection (wonderful color fish can see)

  Not all anglers have access to scientist and biologist that they can contact when they have a question concerning the nature and biology of bass. They are at a disadvantage when compared to top anglers when it comes to questions such as, “why are the fish not hitting crankbaits today?” The weekend warrior can’t call up their sponsor and tell them that the shad have a golden glimmer in a certain lake that they are fishing and have a new lure FedEx’d to them over night.  Not all of the top anglers have this advantage either, but many professional anglers do have secrets for color choice for crankbaits and other lures that they will keep to their selves. This is a rather long explanation of a theory that is based on science of light and the biology of fish, but it will contain much information as well as some tips for lure color selection. I have heard from several anglers who tell me that they just do not have any luck using crankbaits for largemouth bass, but they see others catching bass on them.  The tips in this blog will help you to understand why color is so important as well as help you to catch more bass using crankbaits and other deep running lures as well.       


 Bass eyes see in water, and our eyes see in the air, but there is an uncanny comparison in how a bass eye sees color and how a human eye sees colors. Cones in our eyes see colors and rods see things in shades of gray. Scientist and biologist have concluded that a bass sees colors much as a human sees colors. This theory is thought to be true for the reason that bass eyes have cones very similar to the cones in human eyes. One difference is the absence of a pupil in the bass eye. This is the part of our eye that dilates or gets bigger when light is dimmed.  This would explain why bass are light shy. They are structure orientated for more than reasons than just ambush and shelter, they prefer shade. Bass are most active in low light, morning and evening, but have much better vision in darkness and stained and muddy water than a human would have. A bass eye having no pupil, adjusts to brightness by repositioning the part of the eye called the rods. In bright light the cones are used with a majority of the rods of the bass eye being hidden behind the cones. As light dims more rods are positioned for sight. In dark conditions cones are of less use and the bass sees mostly with rods. To simplify this, cones see colors; rods see shades of gray. In dim light a bass sees in black and white. And a bass's eye has more rods than the human eye and they function better. Thus it sees in dim light much better than a human can.  The temperature and density of the water as well as the oxygen of the thermocline will determine the depth the bass will be holding, and this depth will affect the color of a lure such as a crankbait that you will need to fish.        


 In summer anglers must select a lure that can reach the depth that the bass are holding. Lures such as a crankbait must be selected according to the diving capabilities of the specific lure. The larger the bill or lip on the nose of the lure, the deeper it will dive. Some lures will have the diving depth someplace on the lure and with most crankbaits, the packaging will display the diving depth, one tip is to write this running depth in feet on the lure with a fine point sharpie permanent marker. Also organize your lures by depth then color and label your lure box in the place for each lure with the diving depth. This will help you to quickly decide which lures you will be using, keep in mind that in a tournament time can be money.         

  Targeting the correct depth is just the beginning, one important consideration also must be made by the angler…What color to use? Deciding by water color and the sky can be a good start, but what about eight to twelve feet deep? Or even for fifteen or eighteen feet deep? If you have you ever noticed the color of a lure seems to change in shallow water and seems to change even more at different times of the day as the sun moves across the sky.  This illusion is because of light reacting with water. Anglers need to understand how bass actually see the colors the angler chooses in crankbaits and other lures. Sometimes the color choice is paramount in the success of an angler’s day of fishing. At “different times of day”, or in “different light” and in “different depths” the color a fish sees makes it react.        


 Studying a simple glass prism will help anglers to see white light change into different colors beginning with the first color red and then moving through the entire color spectrum to the last color of purple. When we see a rainbow in the sky it is the same thing, we see light absorbed and or bent by water. A body of water however has an effect on the light we see as well. The water absorbs light and turns it into heat, or in other words converts light energy into heat energy. In this process some colors are absorbed much more than other colors. When we look at a crankbait in natural sunlight, we see all color waves. This is not possible once the color “wavelengths” enter water. The water actually absorbs the light. Reds are absorbed as heat before other colors while blues and purple are absorbed last.       

 When we watch programs on WFN with under water footage, the absorption of light is what makes the water appear to be so blue. In water that is pure or perfectly clear, all red colors are absorbed and converted into heat energy before the light reaches 17 feet in depth. After red is absorbed, then all variations or shades of the color orange are then absorbed. Orange slowly fades into a dull yellow as an orange colored lure is fished deep. Shades of yellow are filtered out after orange. And then the shades of green are the next to be absorbed, after this only blue light will remain. Once the blue shades are absorbed, then there is no light. As blue light is absorbed lures appears in various shades of dark blue to indigo, violet and then finally into black. A white lure out of the water still is white in the water, but it gradually reflects light and appears to be green then blue as it goes deeper.  A crankbait that may appear bright red on the surface but when cranked into deeper water it gradually changes until finally it is seen as black. This is because the absence of red light in deeper water.             

 Understanding this theory has apparently helped make KVD and Strike King Millions of dollars as he and the company has become very successful with the multi colored crankbaits in the “sexy shad” color that he has made so famous. For this reason I use crankbaits with an array of colors in both light and dark shades when fishing deep. This provides coverage as sunlight moves as well at different depths. When fishing in 18 feet of water or deeper, I like to start with brightly colored crankbaits. The reason for brightness over just one specific color is that I am looking for a lure that will reflect the least amount of light in the darkness of the deeper water.           


 When fishing in shallower water the crankbait color choice can be vital, as a bass can see the lure more clearly. “Matching the hatch” with a natural colored crankbait is a good way to choose your lure; however it pays to try a different color if you do not get a bite soon.  Many manufacturers do well with natural color patterns on their lures. In shallow water this is very important. When the fish are feeding on shad and there are many of them in a school, many anglers try to choose a lure in a color that stands out amongst the multitude of baitfish and fish the lure below the school. Citrus Shad, Bluegill, and other bright colors, seem to make the lure stand out in a crowd so to speak. Knowing the bass feed on the stray shad that leave the school due to injury or weakness. This natural selection is helped by a color that makes a target stand out a little more than the rest.       

 As with any crankbait or other summer lure presentation, always start moving the lure fast. If you are not soon rippin’ some lips, change your retrieve to a stop and go or slow it down to a crawl. As Bill Dance has often said, “let the fish to tell you what they want”.  I hope this information and tips for color selection help you to more effectively take advantage of many colors that crankbaits and other lures are available in, while fishing deep structure as well as shallow water this summer.

Dear Sirs, On the page of alleged "German Brutality" the photo of Dora-Mittelbau shows 1700 bodies KILLED BY US AIR ATTACKS the day before the US troop Other photos on that page show hanged partisans they do not mention the brutality of the Partisans...how partisans captured a German Hospital and impalled all the capture nurses through their vaginas on wooden paling fences. Or the captured soldiers the Partisans put meathooks through their jaws and hanged them , alive.

Catching Big Trout on Ultralight Tackle

To catch the biggest trout this spring, scale down your tackle to ultralight

Ultralight spinning for trout has long been touted as a way of getting more sport from smaller fish by using scaled-down gear. What’s not so evident is that Lilliputian lures, gossamer lines, and midget reels can help you catch not only more trout but larger ones.

Rip Collins of Arkansas provided a great example. His 40-pound 4-ounce all-tackle, world-record brown trout was taken in 1992 from the Little Red River tailwater on ultralight spinning tackle—specifically, 4-pound line and a tiny olive-marabou jig. Although an even larger brown caught last year on heavier gear might displace Collins’s record, this Arkansas giant established the potential of ultralight beyond all argument.

As to numbers of fish, consider this: Most natural food items in a trout stream are small, say 2 inches long and often much smaller. That’s what trout are accustomed to seeing and feeding on, which broadens the fishy appeal of the 1⁄32- to 1⁄8-ounce lures best fished with ultralight gear. That tackle doesn’t fish itself, of course. The right presentation is essential.

Make It Quick

Cast upstream to minimize spooking trout, most of which will likely be facing into the current. The trick here is reeling your lure back downstream just slightly faster than the moving water. That speed provides enough water resistance to keep your lure working properly above the bottom. Trout are used to snatching food items from the current all day long. Your lure in its downstream travel is gaining the most natural presentation possible.

In the fast-moving pocket water common to mountain creeks, you can accomplish this by casting a 1⁄12-ounce Mepps spinner, for example, upstream of a large rock. Reel quickly to keep the lure’s blade spinning while moving your rod tip to steer the spinner along the rock’s edge and through the quieter water below it.

Get the Drift

The second half of the ultralight equation involves drifting tiny lures deep through larger runs and rapids. Cast upstream and across the current while fishing this bigger water. When the lure lands at the end of your cast, don’t reel immediately. Give the lure time to sink as the current pushes it downstream; at the same time, follow its drift with the rod held high to keep the current from tugging on your line and pulling the lure upward.

In deeper runs, cast at a greater upstream angle to gain depth accordingly. In any case, by the time the lure has been carried down to roughly straight across the current from your position, you should be starting a retrieve. That retrieve will depend on the lure. For a spinner, you might twitch the rod tip slightly to start the blade spinning but then not reel at all if the current is strong enough to swing the lure in a deep arc across the flow. Intermittent twitches and pauses will work best with small spoons like Phoebes or Little Cleos, making the lure dart, flash, and then stop briefly like an injured baitfish.

My favorite lure in this scenario is a small marabou jig. (A great many midget jigs designed for crappies make excellent and inexpensive ultralight trout lures.) I let the jig drift and sink until I feel it start to tick the bottom rocks. As the jig starts to swing across the stream, I twitch the rod tip gently to move the drifting jig up and down slightly. I am not reeling at all—just following the drift with my rod tip—because reeling in line during this presentation will move the lure off the bottom and away from the fish.

The real challenge in ultralight spinning for trout lies not just in using hair-thin lines. As with all fishing, refining your tackle means refining your skills to match. What you’ll find is that tiny tackle is not only more sporting than common midsize trout gear, but it’s also more deadly.
