The 2025 Toyota Bonus Bucks Owners Tournament took place on Lake Guntersville. Trophies were won, but more importantly, memories were made.

Abstract The warm and saline Atlantic Water has long been recognized as being subjected to substantial heat loss during its transit towards the polar regions. In particular, the Lofoten Basin, a subpolar sea with energetic eddy activity and strong air-sea interactions, plays a crucial role in the transformation of Atlantic Water. Vertical heat transport at submesoscales (0.1-10 km) in the Lofoten Basin is potentially a key link in the heat transfer to the atmosphere. Here, based on multi-year Seaglider observations augmented by satellite altimeters, radiometers, and high-resolution numerical model results, we evaluate the oceanic vertical heat transport in the Lofoten Basin and demonstrate how geostrophic strain enhances heat transport. The enhancement is found to be associated with submesoscale ageostrophic motions along the mesoscale eddy edges, occurring on spatial scales smaller than 10 km and below the mixed layer depth. These strain-induced submesoscale vertical motions transport heat from the ocean interior to the surface, leading to a 0.4 °C increase in sea surface temperature and the formation of “warm ring” structures in both cyclones and anticyclones. The dominant role of submesoscale heat transport likely represents the primary mechanism for substantial heat loss from Atlantic Water in the Lofoten Basin.

Noah Winslow's week on the Mississippi River in La Crosse will be remembered for more than just another strong finish. It marked a turning point.

A team of young Optimist sailors are competing at the Sailing Point Easter Regatta in Slovenia, racing in a fleet of 367 boats.

There's a romance to river tournaments you just don't find anywhere else in professional bass fishing.

Imagine consumers delegate shopping to agents. Businesses will no longer sell to humans. They'll be selling to smart technologies. No need to communicate with people. No need for marketing.

AI has put an end to emotions in marketing, we are told. Just look at what LLMs rely on in making brand recommendations. It’s all about facts. Not about emotions.

Transitioning from kayak fishing to competing out of a bass boat has required Fischer to become a student again. For someone who thrives on growth, that's been one of the most rewarding aspects of the journey.

After recently stepping away from the Bassmaster Elite Series following a cancer diagnosis, Arey finds himself navigating a challenge no angler ever expects.
