The techy side of this is cool. I wonder if this is something I can do for my own personal fishing spots/catches - when I actually start catching something worth putting on a map.

a lot of newer cameras (ipods for one)have geo tagging, which is a form of embeded metadata and captures the gps coordinates of where the picture was taken.

warning if you take a picture with your camera/cell phone/ipod and geo tag is enable someone could download your picture and have the coordinates to your favorite fishing spots or a picture of your house and now they have your address.

but it is cool to use geo tag to track where your pictures were taken.

i know where you fish

Dang it, I wanted to find all his honey holes, hahaha! JK.
Yes, that is a good warning, be careful with geotagging. Nowadays, images contain a lot of information that we may not necessarily want out in the public.

Yup, I already uploaded my previous tracks. I read about the geotags - already turned that off.

Google "HAARP" and "New Madrid Fault". And therein lies the answers to all the dead fish and birds. Or check this guy out:
