In an Instant I have had some close calls occur while on the water. This, I believe, is not because I am careless but can be attributed to the thousands of hours spent on the water. I think it is the law of averages. Sooner or later, something i...

On the Water with Matt Breuer There's bluegills and then there's BLUEGILLS. Or maybe we should just call them "bullgills." You can classify them by size, with fish measuring 10 inches or better regarded as being true trophies. This is what Bemidji fis...
