As Seen on Kentucky Afield TV!!! fw.ky.gov Running full speed into a green pond is all part of the fun for the turtleman. Watch as he reaches blindly into murky waters infested with snapping turtles in hopes of grabbing the tail end of this sharp beaked beast. The turtleman is a true one of a kind character. You have to see it to believe it!
"Kentucky Afield" TV goes adrift on the Kentucky River this weekend, July 7 and 8, to show that with a trotline, you can do more fishing by 9 a.m. than most people do all day.

we don't find many custom-made fishing rods leaning against the garage wall unless we find ourselves in Ronnie Young's workshop in Corbin.

Crappie fishing can also be excellent in local farm ponds. Long-time "Kentucky Afield" fan Mark Chandler invites Farmer to reel in some whopper black crappie in Shelby County.
Bath County's Edith Bradley convinces Farmer to save room for dessert with her fabulous fried apple pie. Made the old-fashioned way, it's a sweet ending to a wild game meal.

We heel, lie down, and stay in Mercer County with bird dog specialist Philippe Roca. Timely training tips help acclimate our hunting companions to shotgun blasts, bumpy rides and other essentials for success in the field this fall.
