Definitely a few of those guys out there. But after you see authentic ones….. mega fauna fossils are awesome as well…..

Artifacts are not always arrowheads They are all kinds tools many things …..artifacts is a better term Atl atl , blow gun, and arrowheads. spearpoints, drills knives….you name it….what these peoples used is fascinating he knows what he’s talking about.

Not me just a friend from the UK

For spooky fish

Carp weight tech

Change is coming…..the walleye cheating scandal, more advanced tech…..has a critical mass….these subjects are getting talked about in fisheries management circles…..of the objectors who are regular tournament anglers….. truth bombs hurt

This is interesting….plenty of things for bass to eat…but the calories expended does matter….what’s changed? More gizzard vs threadfin shad? When calories are available help jump bass from one prey item to another….baby common carp have more calories than a rainbow trout is an example…..fishing pressure does hurt fishing…unsure how much is known on TR from hatching to lunker size knowing what is foraged on and when….genetics, male vs female distribution…..want bigger bass? Release the big fish…new slot limits….less pressure…way to many tournaments….sacrilegious I know..but jacking up tournament fees capping how may may be needed….the Great Lakes fishing boomed because zebra mussels cleared the water up…..changes in the sampling should show up

Ne’er say worthless

They are not mine……but it’s a slippery slope native vs non native….habitat has been changed forever…new species better adapted are in those biomes…think starling poop is an issue? Read up passenger pigeon issues…broke trees down from the weight of so may birds… of how lake trout effected elk populations because grizzly bears were not feeding on the spring cutthroat trout run..and destroyed YOY elk calves trend now is to remove dams….what would happen to the economy if trout where no longer viable in the white river drainage? Trout are non native. pheasants are displacing prairie chickens…non native grasses are not quail friendly. I’ve read where waterfowl have moved their flyaways west yet avian flu has decimated domestic bird AND wild bird populations… anecdotal observation on my part but drought, overharvest and disease are the reasons for less bird in traditional fly ways…

Be sure to stab and stack a few of those bass too?..largemouth bass are specifically named as a major reason for Extinctions of several small fish and amphibians…brown trout and stripers are named as well… “If present trends continue, much of the unique California fish fauna will disappear and be replaced by alien fishes, such as, largemouth bass, fathead minnows. ” says Peter Moyle, a professor of fish biology who has been documenting the biology and status of California fish for the past 40 years. researchers found that, of 121 native fish species, 82 percent are likely to be driven to extinction or very low numbers as climate change speeds the decline of already depleted populations. In contrast, only 19 percent of the 50 non-native fish species in the state face a similar risk of extinction. https://wildlife.ca.gov/Publications/Journal/Issues/volume-108-issue-1-status-and-distribution-of-arroyo-chub-within-its-native-range1

Gleasons 19 almost 20 caught in bullshoals in 91

The native river strain has the potential to get world record size…. in the late 90s early 2000s there was a nice year class in bullshoals then…state record was 22# caught in the early 2000s….I chased those monsters back then…caught and released a couple over 15….my PB was 17-8…..saw a fish under the bridge at swan in February of 2003 that was 7” between the eyes and longer by a heathy margin than a old truck tire…..it’s my understanding the pure river stain is difficult to hatchery produce…..Stockton used to have some river strain but haven’t heard of a big fish taken in many years….I had hoped the MDC would have done more with the native strain…..the act different than typical walleyes…. skittish…once spooked the don’t seem to hang around…..I always wondered if they were scared off traditional spawning areas….there are a few hidden populations I hope we don’t lose them forever

At 1st glance it does look like a black cat….can’t guess size…nothing for scale….never saw or seen pics of black pumas….jaguars once roamed the Ozarks during the last ice age….legs look off for a cougar, could be a running black bear and the tail is just a stick……set some number 3 4coil footholds with squeakers some deer gland lure in that area…..cats run a big territory if they are male…less so for females….could be an exotic some city person dumped….

Bubble n squeak!
