A Huge Privilege!

April 20, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

blog 8 pictureWhen I was a kid, just getting interested in the outdoors, there were two main shows I watched on TV. The first one was Bassmaster. I’ll never forget those pros catching fish and Bob Cobb narrating. They would only show one or two Pros, but you got to know them and know them well. The other show was Fishing and Hunting Texas. It was a look into all different kinds of fishing and hunting situations across the state of Texas. What I loved was the variety and the different ways in which the hosts pursued game.

Now that I myself have fished bass tournaments all across the country, I can conclude without a doubt that Texas has the finest fishing of any state in the country, which is why I’m so excited about being the host of Fishing and Hunting Texas. I can’t wait to share with viewers the riches of Texas fisheries!

My true passion is spending time in the outdoors, whether it is with a rod on the water or a firearm on land. Our plan at Fishing and Hunting Texas is to bring the viewers unique looks at all kinds of hunting and fishing in the state of Texas. I know how to bass fish extremely well and deer hunting and wing shooting have always been my strong suit, but there are many kinds of hunting and fishing that I look forward to learning about here in our great state. This year we will fish all around the state and as far as hunting goes, there are whitetail, axis deer, hogs, quail, dove and turkey. I promise you will learn something and enjoy seeing the variety Texas has to offer. I truly count it as a privilege to be able to host Fishing and Hunting Texas.

No Place Like Home

March 31, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

DogAs I recently crossed from Texas to Louisiana on my way to Florida, I found myself reflecting on what an extraordinary state Texas is for all kinds of outdoor activities. Yeah, there are other states that boast outdoor activities, great fishing and hunting, but for variety of species and terrain, there is no other state that even comes close to Texas.

On the fishing side, Toledo band leads the way as one of the best in the country. East Texas is dotted with many great lakes, and there are many excellent fisheries throughout south, central, west and north Texas as well. Honestly, I’d like to fish them all, but can’t wait to return from my first tournament and start catching Texas spawning bass.

On the hunting side, spring turkey season is just around the corner; I just killed a big hog a few days ago and the memories of a great Whitetail season still linger. I’m looking forward to late summer dove hunting and fall and winter hunts for big axis, trophy whitetail and ducks.

I enjoy what I get to do – fish bass tournaments at the national tour level, but always look forward to getting back home to the great Texas outdoors. There’s no place like home!

First Event of the Year

March 31, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

After a long hard winter there are many of us who are dreaming about and eagerly anticipating spring and the first bass tournament of the year whether it is a club, high school, college, regional or tour level event, there’s just something that can’t replace that first event of the year – scheming, practicing, looking at maps, getting tackle ready, all in anticipation of the first bite of the day.

Luckily, the FLW tour starts in Florida every year allowing me to get away from the cold, at least for a bit, and potentially catch some shallow spawning bass. Hopefully, my first tournament bag of the year from these warmer waters will be filled with five Florida giants. One thing is for sure, the adrenaline rush that accompanies that first tournament will never change. It’s always a great feeling getting back on the water and back into competition. I can’t wait!

Worthwhile Shopping

March 31, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

My whole life I’ve heard my mother, my wife and now my daughters talk about going shopping – how they like to wander from shop to shop – lingering, dreaming about the different items on the shelves, trying stuff on and more often than not – buying! I could not have imagined a more horrible pastime!

However, it has been brought to my attention recently that it’s possible that I too might have somewhat of a shopping obsession. And I guess I do. The difference is that my kind of shopping is completely worthwhile and even necessary. It is not at a quaint downtown square or a big mall. No. You guessed it. It’s at Cabela’s! Now there is a store worth lingering in, worth dreaming about the items on the shelves, worth trying things on in, and most importantly, worth buying something from! It is the one store on earth that has everything you need – fishing gear, hunting necessities, guns, bows, camping gear, marine applications and the list goes. I have to admit that more often than not, I’m the one talking about shopping now – worthwhile shopping!

Hog Hunting

March 31, 2015 by Clark Wendlandt

Blog 9 pic hog huntingHog hunting. You know, pigs get a bad rap in the state of Texas. People can’t stand them. They bother feeders, they are always in the way, the scare deer, they tear up the land. But I hate to say it, they’re here to stay. So we might as well enjoy hunting them!

For the last six months, I have hunted pigs, and they are really fun to hunt, especially with a bow. My Cabela’s regulator has taken 6 pigs this hunting season, the most recent a big sow I captured on film, shooting at about 30 yards. Double lung kill, I can’t wait to show you the footage!

And for those of you who think wild pigs are no good to eat, think again. I just cleaned my sixth one of the year and the meat is as pretty as any meat I have ever seen. I’ve used it for sausage, made pork chops, done pork tenderloin, cooked ham’s shoulders and cooked ribs. I really can’t say enough about the meat. It’s pretty awesome.

The other thing about it is it prepares you for when that trophy buck steps out next fall. There’s nothing better than actually drawing and shooting an arrow through something to prepare you for deer hunting. So if you’re still yearning to be in the deer blind hunting something, think about shooting some pigs.

As we head into 2021, I look back on 2020 with mixed emotions. So far our family has been spared the worst of 2020, and we are so sorry for those who have lost loved ones and/or livelihoods. It was a brutal year and hard to believe what people have been through. As I look back at 2020, I feel very thankful for the extra time I got to spend with family, the extra “fun” fishing and hunting I got to do, and of course winning angler of the year was pretty awesome too. So here’s to 2020 and hoping 2021 is better for everyone! I hope everybody has a safe and happy New Year celebration. ... See more

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
