Must be using Moochie's kiddy meals for bait?
The key issue in the debate of Evolution is speciation. When the largemouth bass “adapt” and become catfish or something like that, give me a call.
Yet more wasted tax dollars on a stupid study
It’s OK if they think they’re catfish, ya know....
What if they think they are black?
That makes them transcatfish....
Only if they think they are crappie...
Inadvertant selective breeding. Like culling agressive dogs with sterilization. Evolution? Not even close.
No, you bunch of dumb-oxen! It is because there are a LOT more anglers now than in the past and more fish are caught making it appear that fish are biting less! Jeez! The idiocy boggles the mind!
Just like what happens when the gumming interferes with healthcare, you can’t go back to the way it was.
And now , a reason for more decades long further study, and decades of further funding, in a different location .
Basic evolutionary principle: traits that are selected against do not persist, while those that are selected for tend to spread throughout the population.
Size limits on fish that may be caught and kept has also had an effect on fish size. Fish that grow to be smaller than the size limit reproduce more because the larger fish are all caught.
I’ll be spending a few days at the end of the month on Mountain Fork River in Oklahoma. It’s supposed to be a great place to catch small mouth bass.
I need some help. I’m not a fisherman. What equipment do I need to buy and what lures should I use. And can I fish from the bank? In short, what the hell do I do? ha
I want to sign up to aid in the study...
Pay me a small sum of $25.00 an hour and I will fish all day and turn over the records I keep on the fish I catch...

If you haven’t fly fished before, this is your chance. You can fly fish for bass as well as trout.
Get a light to ultra light rod...A small reel that has a gear ratio of 5:1...^ lb test line... It’s a river, so use 1/16th oz. Roostertail spinners that are dark in color with a gold blade... Most baitfish in rivers are goldish to brown in color...In lakes, you’d use a silver spinner because they baitfish in lakes are mostly silver...
That was 6 lb test line...

And yes, you can fish from the bank...
If the stream or river is flowing, cast your spinner either upstream or at a 45 degree angle upstream...Remember...fish are looking for food coming downstream at them...they face upstream in the current...
