Think It can't happen here?   Common carp, asian carp and rainbow trout have something in common.... grown in vast numbers in aquaculture world wide..since the early 2000's a virus has reared its head 1st in Koi and in the wild common carp KHV and now 2 others the latest CyHV-3....blue springs suffered a massive fish kill in 2010..and we all know about LMB Virus...and the fish kills caused by Virus we see in white bass and other gamefish from time to time in our area,.

Australia is planning to release a modified  GMO- KHV Virus To Kill Carp, there are studies to do the same for the jumping asian carp here..what would happen if it jumps species like to trout or LMB? or heaven forbid, humans?.... its not like that has ever happened before..swine flu (H1N1) now Nipah virus (from pork)...its not like people don't eat trout or bass....or even carp.....want to see what bad can happen? imagine a pandemic... its not if... but when..the medieval plague,  small pox in native american populations (deliberately) the Spanish flu in the early 1900's --go to an old cemetery in our area you can see whole families that died in a couple of years--if ebola ever goes airborne we can kiss the bulk of humanity good bye...prob be something totally unexpected like KHV in fish or LMB virus jumping to humans......someone in a country hostile to the USA just itching to do a victory tour ala 12 monkeys....

If a trout sickness decimated (even short term) Taney's trout, or the white river chain's Bass...stinking rotting vast tonnage of fish would run off tourist dollars and set of an economic collapse that would mirror the Salton Sea disasters....food for thought

$40?!?!?  They were TEN BUCKS in the 60's!!!!

AFTER TAX!

I played in the Chuck's in high school and moved "up" to suede Converse in college ball but would take the Jordan's everyday of the week!

Those Converse were the stinkenest, blister creating monstrosities of all time and the "white" ones turned yellow after about two days.

Remember the weighted ones with the blue toes for practice?

Of course, we weren't allowed to wear the low cuts or even the black ones because they were for hot dogs just trying to look cool (like the Celtics).

Sorry, but definitely NOT one the best examples of the good old days!

Ranks right up there with wool baseball uniforms.......

Ugh.

Funny this came up. I was looking in my daughters closet the other day. She has 10 pair of those Chucks. I now realize  how much my wife spoils our kids. Had no idea. I told her I didn't want to hear it anymore if I buy something fishing related. Ha

I love the competition.   You can bet that if we're fishing together I am doing my best to stay a few up on you.  No denying that.  

I dislike the fact that so many fish are being moved around nowadays though.  That bugs me to no end.   Turn them loose right where you caught them and I don't care if you're in a tournament or not, I'll back you up 100% and even help you if I can.

When you're not on top you make an awesome "Gillie". "Good cast Sir", "Fine pitch sir", "That's the fish's fault Sir. You presentation was flawless Sir"."Allow me to open your MGD Sir."

LOL, you gotta love it, going from a BASS rule change to possible end of the world scenarios.
