What's New?
Michigan’s woods are beginning to stir this spring — and so is the science behind wild turkey management. This year, wildlife science in the state is getting a major boost. For the first time in Michigan history, researchers are launching a long-term, large-scale study of wild turkey populations.
There’s something about early spring tournaments in Northern Indiana as you never quite know what you’re going to get. Between the weather, water conditions, and how fast things can change this time of year, every decision feels magnified.

Michigan Record Smallmouth
Bass fishermen often believe it is their definitive skills that fool big fish, but often times a little luck can go a long way.
The recently broken Michigan state smallmouth record is no exception. The 109-year-old record was broken Oct. 18 by Greg Gasiciel who was subbing in bass tournament on Hubbard lake in Alcona County. It was the first tournament he had fished in 3 to 4 years.
The monster smallmouth weighed 9.33 pounds, erasing the former mark of 9.25 set on Long Lake in Cheboygan County in 1906.
Hubbard is an 8,850-acre lake that is seven miles long and averages 32 feet deep. It was the site of a televised Major League Fishing Event last year.
Gasiciel, whose only previous fishing on Hubbard lake was ice fishing for walleyes, was called upon by a childhood buddy to fill in for a “Bass Anglers of the Sunrise Side” tournament that frigid day.
The record holder’s personal best prior to that day was a 5-5 largemouth caught from Wixom Lake.
