February 14, 2011 It's official. Pamela Henry of Stuart broke state and world records when she reeled in a 9.6-pound blue tilapia last August. The fish measured 24 inches long. A taxidermist is mounting the record-breaking fish. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recently certified the fish as the largest caught recreationally in state waters. Additionally, the International Game Fish Association issued the all-tackle world record for the species to Henry. Henry was fishing off her dock last August in the south fork of the St. Lucie River in Martin County when she caught the big fish. She was using a bread ball and was fishing at night. "I've been fishing my whole life, so it was always my mission to catch a record blue tilapia," said Henry. "I had researched the minimum weight, so I knew what I was looking for." Blue tilapia are abundant throughout central and southern Florida. They feed primarily on plankton and small organisms living in or on the bottom. As a result, blue tilapia are not known for their angling quality. However, some urban anglers catch them in ponds, using bread balls, small pieces of hot dogs, dog food or live worms. They are rarely caught on artificial lures. Blue tilapia generally have white, flaky meat with a mild flavor and are considered excellent eating. Farm-raised tilapia are often sold in grocery stores. The FWC encourages catching and eating most exotic fish, including blue tilapia. Because they are nonnative, there is no size or bag limit. "Our goal is to ensure quality fishing throughout Florida both now and in the future," said Tom Champeau, director of the FWC's Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management. "Ms. Henry's support and participation in the FWC's Big Catch Angler recognition program will help us maintain Florida's reputation as the Fishing Capital of the World." Spring turkey hunting season has 2 new rules February 14, 2011 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds hunters that there are changes this spring turkey season. Because of safety concerns among Florida's turkey hunters, the FWC passed a rule that limits the methods of take allowed during spring turkey hunts on wildlife management areas (WMAs). The new rule restricts guns to shotguns and muzzleloading shotguns (using shot no larger than No. 2) and allows bows and crossbows. All rifles, pistols, buckshot and slugs are prohibited during spring turkey hunts on WMAs. The exceptions are on Joe Budd, Raiford and Santa Fe Swamp, where muzzleloading rifles are still allowed because spring turkey hunting on these areas is restricted to primitive guns only. This rule does not apply to turkey hunting on private lands. The second new rule established a special two-day youth turkey hunt on private lands the weekend prior to the opening of spring turkey season in each hunting zone. In Zone A (the southern portion of Florida, south of State Road 70), this youth turkey hunting weekend is Feb. 26-27. In the remainder of the state, this special youth hunt is March 12-13. Only those under 16 years old may harvest a turkey while supervised by an adult, 18 years or older. And as long as the adult supervisor doesn't actively participate in the hunt, no license or permit is required for either youth or adult. If the adult wants to help "call in" a turkey, set out decoys or participate otherwise, he or she needs a hunting license ($17 for residents, $46 for a 10-day nonresident license) and turkey permit ($10 for residents, $125 for nonresidents). Nevertheless, only the youth can pull the trigger. And any turkey harvested counts toward the youth hunter's spring season limit of two. This spring, the youth turkey hunt applies only to private property, the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes Area, the Kissimmee River Public Use Area and Lake Monroe WMA.

Golfers Buying Up Golf Clubs Before Manufacturing Stops Nation's Largest Specialty Golf Retailer Sees a 22%-Plus Spike in Sales AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new regulation governing the production of certain types of golf clubs is causing cash registers to ring. Golfers around the country are buying up the current style of wedges. The clubs will soon become scarce because of a recent “groove rule” change from the United States Golf Association (USGA). Golfsmith, the nation’s largest golf retailer, has seen an increase in year-to-date wedge sales of more than 20 percent over the same period a year ago. “Golfers are scooping up wedges as fast as they can” “Golfsmith customers are stocking up on wedges, more than they ever have,” said Marty Hanaka, president and CEO of Golfsmith, which sells tens of thousands of new wedges every year. “The availability of the larger grooved golf clubs affected by the change is a big unknown so our customers are buying their favorite designs while the inventory is there because after year’s end those types of clubs won’t be made anymore.” The USGA “groove rule” change means that the new grooves on clubs made beginning January 1, 2011 will have approximately 70% of the depth and size of grooves made today. Grooves on clubs function a lot like tread on car tires. The grooves help channel grass, sand and other debris away from the clubface allowing for better control and better shot performance. The new style, smaller grooved wedges will mean less spin on each shot. Golfsmith has a dedicated web site explaining all of the changes at www.golfsmith.com/grooves. The new grooves have actually been in effect on the PGA Tour all year and have been a hot topic of discussion as many players have struggled to control their wedge shots especially out of the high rough in tournaments throughout the season. Amateur golfers have until 2014 to make the switch to the new grooves for USGA amateur tournaments. As of 2024, all golfers must switch to the new grooves for tracking their handicaps. “Golfers are scooping up wedges as fast as they can,” said Ron Partridge, Vice President of Club Merchandising at Golfsmith. “Golfsmith’s wedge sales are up 22 percent for the first eight months of the year. The supply of these current high spin wedges will dry up over the next several months. While the wedges won’t be produced after 2010, amateurs can still use them for the next 14 years.” Golf clubs with the new, Tour compliant grooves are already available today in Golfsmith stores and online at golfsmith.com. Golfsmith will continue to sell current grooved wedges until supplies are exhausted.
