BLOOMINGTON - Well-known Jimmy Buffett fan Jim Crowley has been to Mexico and islands far out in the Pacific to catch huge marlin and other saltwater fish. But when he hears, "Fins up!," the universal rally cry of Parrotheads everywhere, Crowley, 41, is far more likely to think of the largemouth bass common to freshwater than sharks.
Tennessee is within a day's drive of 65 percent of our nation's population. The state has plenty of family friendly attractions, from Graceland in Memphis to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Gatlinburg. Consider a visit to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, the world's largest freshwater aquarium. Scope out the 10-foot-long sharks, giant spider crabs, river otters and alligators. Within the aquarium's newest addition, Ocean Journey, learn about stealthy stingrays and colorful reef fish as the creatures glide through coral formations. You'll also experience a shark and ray touch pool and hundreds of free-flying butterflies.
Yeah, right. A bighorn sheep traversing the wilds of Wisconsin. Have you heard the one about the Abominable Snowman of Sheboygan? How about the York Yeti, the Bay View Bigfoot, Nessie of Neenah or the Appleton alligators? Some residents of Walworth County have reported bighorn sightings and even given the fella a name, Big Al. The cause for our doubt is that the folks who know say these critters like climbing mountains and, while we're not completely flat well, yeah, we're pretty much completely flat, at least by bighorn standards. These animals have a fondness for the Rockies. Of course, Big Al might be a game farm refugee. If so, we pray someone offers asylum. But we have doubts he exists. It would be sort of like if folks got to claiming they've been seeing a kangaroo out in the Wis...

LOS ANGELES - Humans were expert deep-sea fishermen as far back as 42,000 years ago, hauling in tuna, sharks and barracudas, new research suggests. Fish appeared in the human diet about 1.9 million years ago. Early catchers waded into freshwater lakes and streams without the need for boats or complex tools. It wasn't until later that humans decided to ply the ocean in search of fish.
If you're a big-game fisherman and you're feeling especially proud of yourself after a day of tackling gigantic blue catfish on the Mississippi River, you should tune your television to Animal Planet around 9 tonight. Trust me, it'll keep you grounded.
