If you type “fishing lures” and “tampon” into Google, you’ll find YouTube videos about anglers who’ve used feminine hygiene products as bait for bass, catfish, lake trout, and rainbow trout. You’ll also find comments from folks who consider the videos “LOL” and think those anglers are true innovators with hot advice for catching fish with tampons in open water or through the ice.

Humans have always had an attraction to rarity. Whether you’re a rockhound in search of precious stones, a foodie looking for an exotic dish, or a baseball card collector searching for that rare addition, we all covet what is hard to find and difficult to attain.

Our culture loves comebacks, Cinderella stories, and diamonds in the rough. Take for instance, the story of a sweater purchased at a North Carolina thrift shop for 58 cents in 2014. Turns out, the sweater originally belonged to legendary football coach Vince Lombardi. A year later, that sweater sold at auction for $43,020. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”—an old adage, slightly stale, but no less true. Trash vs. treasure—a dangerous and capricious conceptual binary.
Fishing Hacks and Dirty Tricks

I’ve never been a big fan of the term “life hack.” My parents and grandparents were all nose-to-the-grindstone types who instilled a work ethic in me that tends to avoid loopholes and lean towards hard work. This desire to always push and challenge myself has even spread into my sporting life. Some of my favorite ways to hunt and fish like Spey casting for steelhead and tracking whitetail deer in the snow are considered by many to be the most difficult ways to find success.
Angler Speaks Out About $3.5 Million Disqualified Marlin

The angler who landed a 619.4-pound blue marlin at a North Carolina fishing tournament is speaking out about what he says was an incorrect decision by tournament officials. They ruled that even though the fish beat the next largest marlin by 135 pounds, the wounds on its body and tail disqualified it from the $3.5 million first-place prize. “I don’t feel like the wounds on that fish would have affected it whatsoever,” Bailey Gore, 27, told MeatEater. “It’s like if a human had scraped his knee.
