OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — It's the third week we're highlighting food trucks in Cheap Eats. This week, it's all about a New England classic. The owners of The Modern Waffle, a popular waffle food truck, just started something new with lobster lovers in mind. 3 News Now Anchor Serese Cole introduces us to Three Kids Lobster. There's a new way for lobster lovers to get their lobster rolls on the go. "We're just a tiny business. Really, we've got a 12-foot business," laughed owners Bonnie and Jonathon Taylor. It's called Three Kids Lobster. It's the only food truck in Omaha that serves the New England-style classic. The mother and son duo says the rolls remind them of their time in Maine. "We would spend the summer there, at least a month with the kids, and it was a special time for everybody to get together," Bonnie said. Those three kids treasured their vacations. Their summers always included lobster. Seaf

WAUNAKEE — The inventory in this village's newest retailer can all be easily purchased with just a click of a mouse. There are fly rods, reels, leaders, racks and bins of flies and fly-making material along with waders, T-shirts and caps. Dan and Jenn Donovan's Musky Fool Fly Fishing Co. was founded in September 2020 online and has blossomed thanks to aggressive social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, their appearances at fishing shows and at Madison-area angling events. And, if your timing is right, they can also be spotted on lakes Wingra, Monona and Waubesa in pursuit of muskellunge, the state fish since 1955.

Volunteers with the Tsolum River Restoration Society have made a disturbing discovery: an invasive and aggressive fish species in the local watershed. "During our routine fish monitoring in June, more than 90 non-native pumpkinseed fish (Lepomis gibbosus) were captured in Wildwood Marsh off of Burns Road, which is connected to the Tsolum via Smit Creek," said TRRS program co-ordinator, Caroline Heim, in a press release. "These fish are native to eastern North America but usually spread because humans release them. These fish are prolific breeders that have the potential to spread throughout the Tsolum competing for food and habitat with our wild species. They are carnivorous and can eat other fish, amphibian eggs, aquatic insects, mussels, and tadpoles." The concern is that, with trends toward warming waters, the pumpkinseed fish will flourish in the local watershed. The society is seeking help from the community to contain the species before it takes over.

Fish Tanks are great fun. Having an aquarium set up in your home or room offers therapeutic and soothing sights and sounds. The light also serves as a nightlight. Watching the fish and aquatic critters enjoy their home is a great reward. Kids especially enjoy fish tanks. Teaching them how to prepare the water, understand chemistry, and have the responsibility to care of their new friends are great learning moments. They also get to choose and learn about their finned friends. In the past, aquaria were a bit smelly, noisy, challenging, and messy to set up. There are many new set ups that are way easier to work with and healthy for fish. Try the FLUVAL "M" series of premium aquaria. These aquaria come in a variety of sizes and options. The two best options are the 9 gallon or 15-gallon sizes. This series has a great light system that is operated with a remote control that offers multicolor and intensities. The front of the tank is curved and there are no visi

It was asked by many throughout the week, and rookie Jay Przekurat  of Stevens Point, Wis. , gladly answered with a four-day total of 102 pounds, 9 ounces that won the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River. Prior to this event, no angler in recorded sportfishing history had ever reached 100 pounds solely with smallmouth. But with a rare stretch of calm, sunny weather and Wednesday's super moon igniting the fish, Przekurat did just that. His feat earned him a spot in the prestigious Bassmaster Century Club, which recognizes a four-day total of 100 pounds. It also earned him one of the most prestigious trophies in pro fishing and the $100,000 top prize. "Trying to take in the moment during the day of the tournament is pretty hard because you're just focused on catching 5-pounders out there," Przekurat said. "You're running back to the ramp and you start getting a little emotional. There's no other feeling like it." Technica
