Fishing is about more than the catch. It is the life that surrounds the experience; standing in a cold river at sunrise, studying the hatch, listening to the river, and of course watching for the dashing figures beneath the surface of the water. And then the tug on the line.
These are the experiences we long for. Aurora Photos photographers have provided all of these experiences in their imagery, now they are available through Aurora's Outdoor Collection.

Axel M. Cipollini / Aurora
In Sicily, the tonnare, an ancient mattanza rite and traditional tuna-fishing technique, still exists. Every year at the end of springtime, huge tuna migrate from the Atlantic ocean to the warmer Mediterranean waters. These fish, which can weigh more than 850 pounds, are captured and loaded on oared boats with only the strength of the fishermens’ arms.

"Amphipoda", "The Wave", and "The Splash King" are not superheroes, but they are capable of freely operating on land and in water. Their amphibious abilities aren't due to special powers, but to their Amphicars, which function as both cars and motorboats. And these fittingly nick-named men were just three of 200 Amphicar owners and enthusiasts who convened this past weekend for the 12th Annual International Amphicar Owner's
Convention and Swim-In in Celina, Ohio, where the vehicles have delighted the local residents for the past seven years.

The Skate Key Roller Rink in the South Bronx, NY. The match, a qualifying bout for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby League's semi-finals. Roller Derby originated during the depression, and had its heyday in the 1940’s and 1950’s. After fading into oblivion, the sport has made a comeback, updated with a more punk rock, hardcore feel in both the roller girls' sexy outfits and the ferocity and bruising nature of the sport. During a bout, five roller girls in each team face off in the rink, scoring points when a jammer passes the opposing team, which that team's blockers will try to prevent. Falls, entanglements and pile-ups result, much to the delight of the fans.
