Man Catches Monster While Kayak Fishing

When I think of kayak fishing, I generally think of fishing along the rivers and tributaries found in Oklahoma and Arkansas. So, when our Content Curator, Joel Thomas, showed me the mega-fish the man in this video caught off the coast of Cape Coral, Florida I was floored. Check out the video for yourself. Insane. The fish, which is a Goliath Grouper, I believe, is nearly as big as the kayak from which this individual is fishing. How would you like to catch something this large in a boat this tiny?

6 Reasons to Get Outdoors

With National Get Outdoors Day being tomorrow, it has gotten me thinking about the excuses we use for not getting outdoors and the benefits that result from when we actually do #GetOut and #DoMore. Everyone knows they need to be more active. Let's face it, you can't turn on the TV, scroll through Facebook or drive down the road without seeing or hearing a reminder about getting in shape. We also know the overall health benefits that come from exercise and activity: live longer, avoid health problems. So, why do we continually put off getting outdoors, especially after we complain...

Stone Balance Art

We love all things nature here at Squatch Watch Gear and when we saw the video below by musician, Vaski, being shared around Facebook we had to take a closer look.   This is really amazing! Gravity Glue Posted by Vaski on Saturday, May 16, 2015   Pretty neat, huh? This stone balancing art is done by artist Michael Grab and he sells prints and calendars featuring his work under Gravity Glue. He began performing these insane balancing feats merely on a whim in 2008 while exploring Boulder Creek in Boulder, CO. Check out more of his work at his website...
