  Speaker 1: They've had drought up there through August and September. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we went to Breckenridge a few weeks ago, and actually
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I can't complain about the temperature then. But in July
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we were on the Madison and the Yellowstone and it
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: was really warm both those days. It was not good
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for trout fishing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: You know, you know, we go when we can exactly,
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: not always when it's perfect.

• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yes there is, Yes, there is one of our favorite places.
• 6:23

• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of time, I'm sure, Alan.
• 6:34

• 6:38
  Speaker 9: a link over to the Pumpkin Paloozer website to get
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: tickets for that, and then for all of the after
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: function after Pumpkin Blues that kind of winds down at too,

  Speaker 9: ninety bucks.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And tell our listeners Alan about good Fly and where
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the proceeds will will be used.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: Absolutely so. Good Fly is a Texas nonprofit formed right
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: here in the Brass Valley. We offer free one day
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: fly casting workshops to first responders as a tool to
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: reduce stress and anxiety. Man, we pray the day that
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: we call a first responder that they're having a better
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: day than we are, and we just simply know that's
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: not true. So it's a tool they can use in
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: their front yard at the station and we teach them
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: to fly cast in the morning, we have a really
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: nice lunch, we tyson knots, and then we fish with
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: them for the afternoon. It ends up just being a
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: fantastic day. It's free to them, and this fundraiser this
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: on the eighteenth, is our opportunity to raise some money
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: so that can continue to be free service for them.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So the fly Fishing Roundup, we're talking that this is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: available for people with fly fishing skills of all levels,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: from never to expert correct.
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: Every level chip you know. In our workshops, ninety percent
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: of the people have never picked up a fly rod,
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: and this festival will be the same way. We have
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: about fifteen certified casting instructors that will be there that'll
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: catch you at whatever level you're at and help you
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: cast a fly rod.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And we talk about this every year. I think some
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: people get intimidated, they think it's complicated. It's not if
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I can do it, And I always say that women
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: are a lot better at it than men because they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: listen to the instructors.
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: They you are so true about that, and Chip if
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: they wanted to come out and not do the fly
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: fishing part of it.

• 10:07
  Speaker 1: If you've been thinking about fly fishing, if you want
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to take your kids out there, I'm telling you, the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: chance to be on that lake is worth the price
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of admission, and listening to all the instructors that you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: have is more than worth the price of admission as well.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And you throw in the pumpkins. I mean, what more
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: can you do? All Right? I'm going to play a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: little podcast here this uh and it's self explanatory. This
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: one comes from Montana. It's an affirmation of what we've
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: done on this show for years. It talks about animals attacking.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's probably a little more educational and cerebral than mine is,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: although maybe not. All right, let's let's hear about this podcast.
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: Kind of always this taboo around telling those stories, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: it's something that people are naturally interested in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: Meet Wes Larson, a there biologist specializing in human wildlife conflict.
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: He's also the creator of Tooth and Claw, a podcast
• 11:22
  Speaker 12: that examines the circumstances that lead to wild animals attacking humans.
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: So I wanted to figure out a way to tell
• 11:29
  Speaker 11: the stories without demonizing the wildlife. And in my mind,
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: it was like, they're going to get told regardless, so
• 11:35
  Speaker 11: it might as well be a biologist explaining them. It
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: might as well be someone that knows kind of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: animals reason for attacking and how often the people did
• 11:44
  Speaker 11: something wrong.
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: Larson grew up in Missoula.
• 11:47
  Speaker 11: The big point is kind of using the scariest possible
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: stories to actually empower people to feel safer out in
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: the great outdoors, and it is working. We get lots
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: of messages from people saying that because of what they've
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: learned on the podcast, they now feel much more confident recreating.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: They feel like they.
• 12:05
  Speaker 11: Have the tools they need in case they do have
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: an encounter, and then they can actually enjoy that encounter.
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: They can enjoy the beauty of that animal rather than
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: being afraid the whole time.
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: And with ride ups in Outdoor magazine and good word
• 12:17
  Speaker 12: of mouth, listeners are finding this space to learn about
• 12:20
  Speaker 12: the world around us and the creatures we share it with.
• 12:24
  Speaker 11: Where when you're out hiking, you're not the top dog.
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: You do have to kind of pay attention to your surroundings.
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: And when you do that, the colors get brighter, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: smells are stronger, everything feels more intense because you are
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: paying attention to your surroundings. And for me, that's really
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: important to keep alive.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Tooth and Claw is the name of the podcast. And
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know anything about the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: outdoors or think you know everything about the outdoors, and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: no bear or animal that's going to scare you, listen
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to Tooth and Claw. Speaking of a Missouri man was mauled
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to death at an Arkansas campsite two days after texting
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: his family photos of a bear wandering near his tent.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Sam's thrown in the Ozark National Force near Mount Judea
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: when he stopped responding to family messages. His son called
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: police Thursday, had not heard from him in a couple
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of days. When deputies arrived, they found the man's truck
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and campsite abandoned, with clear signs something had gone wrong.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The campsite had been disturbed, there was an evidence of struggle.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: There were drag marks leading from the campground into the woods.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: The camper's body was found several yards away with severe injuries.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: According to Newton, Sheriff Newton County Sheriff Glynn Wheeler. Wheeler
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: said his office cannot definitely state the man was killed
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: by a bear until the Arkansas Crime Lab completes the autopsy.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: We know without a doubt that a bear was in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: camp with our victim, and the injuries absolutely are consistent
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: with a bear attack. This is a highly unusual case.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Every time a bear comes kills somebody, it always comes
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: with the caveat oh, but this never happens. Authorities believe
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the animal may have been a young male black bear
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: based on the photos. Investigators are working with wildlife officers, hunters,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: tracking dog to locate the bear tested for any condition
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that may have triggered the attack. He cautioned locals not
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to hunt it for themselves. I don't want this to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: become an open season on any bear that someone may see,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: as most bears fear humans and run away. At the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: same time, don't put yourself or others in jeopardy. The
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: campground has been closed until further notice as the investigation continues.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Our Animals Attack segment is brought to you each and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: every week by shorlty Roofing. It is the home of
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the bulletproof roof guarantee.
• 15:26
  Speaker 13: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 13: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around and then
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: I found Shorlty Roofing and point I'm glad I did.
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: The folks at Shulty guided me every step of the way.
• 15:36
  Speaker 13: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 15:38
  Speaker 13: out of pocket cost would be after insurance. They took
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: the complication out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: took off the damage roof, put on the new roof,
• 15:47
  Speaker 13: did all the cleanup, and I had my new roof
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: in one day.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: The home by the bullet roof. All right. So I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: saw this picture and you may have to. According to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: snow opes, the photograph of a rattlesnake den of eighty
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: seven really large rattlesnakes has been attributed to different power
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: crews from Florida to Texas. While the attribution of the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: photo is not accurate, it does properly depict rattlesnakes. According
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to the California Bureau of Land Management, one of the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: other groups suspected of taking the picture. The snakes shown
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: are Western diamondback rattlers. The Houston Chronicle link the photo
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to a web page from nineteen ninety eight. The Western diamondbacks,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of course get to dins, but during the wintertime, and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: they're one of the few venomous snakes found in Texas. Well,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: there's water moccasins, there's cotton mouse, there's corals. This story
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: comes from California, and they don't know a damn thing
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about Texas. They don't know about poisonous snakes. But let's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: do this. You know, we were just talking about that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Tooth and Claw podcast. This is my educational moment for
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you this afternoon. To avoid snake bags. Never disturb a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: rattlesnake dead. Everybody got that. To avoid snake bites, don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: disturb a rattlesnake dead. You're more likely to see a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: snake on a rock or hiding in shrubbery. Never put
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: your hand somewhere without looking first. And get them before
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they get you. My gosh, they didn't say that in California,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: but I'm just telling you snakes, get them before they
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: get you. We had a possum in my backyard earlier
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this week. It was in the evening, and you know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I don't live in the country. You know what I'm saying.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I told my wife. She was freaked out about it
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: because she went out to get the bird seed and
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: bring that in. We don't leave it up. And I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: told her all the benefits of possums. She didn't. I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: don't think she accepted that. I just don't think she
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: accepted that. She said, I want you to get the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: gun and kill it. Well, first of all, you know
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I would I would never do such a thing because
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I live in a subdivision, so that would be bad.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I had a a silencer with a
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: large scope, with one of those large pellet guns, that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: could kill it a possum. You know, at some point,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if I thought the apostle was rabbit or causing harm.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a possibility that could happen at some point.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You hear what I'm saying. But I just didn't see
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: any need at the time. I wasn't mad at the possum,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: not nearly as mad as my wife was. And I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: told her, look, they eat insects, they actually keep snakes away,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: they do some good things, They're a relatively clean animal.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: There's all kinds of possum benefits. I know, it doesn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: look like it. They're not the cutest of animals. They're
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: not like trash pandas that people think are so cute,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and they will attack you. And I'm not saying a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: rabbit apossum is good. So the statue of limitations ended
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: years ago. So I will tell you this. I come
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: home for lunch one day during the day, and this
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: has been well over twenty years ago. We've lived in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: our house a long time. There is a big fat
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: possum walking across the fens in my backyard between me
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and my neighbor's house. A big fat possum. Now, big
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: fat possums generally speaking, should not be out during the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: middle of the day. You hear what I'm saying. This
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: one was wabbling a little bit. It didn't look great.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I may or may not have taken it upon my
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: own to do something about that possum on my back fence.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: It may or may not have fallen in the neighbor's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: yard when I took it upon myself to do something
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: about that possum, and my neighbors may or may not
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: have ever talked to me again since what we call
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the possum incident. But I do not regret it. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: do not regret it get them before they get you.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not advocating going possum hunting in your backyard, especially
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a subdivision. Some of you people
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: live on creeks, you live kind of on the edge.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Some of you live in the country. You're used to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: all kinds of animals, Okay, And I get that. I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: mean I do. And some of you may or may
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: not want certain kinds of animals around. And I certainly
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: understand that. Some of you I've talked to have seen
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: alligators swimming in your ponds before, and you have taken
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it upon yourself to dispatch the alligators. Good for you.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: By the way, you don't want gators near your kids,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: near your grandkids, in your farm pond. You don't want those.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So just saying we talked last week, gators showed up
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in South Podria Island. I've been down there all my
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: life and going down there all my life. Never seen
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: an alligator or heard of an alligator at South Podria Island.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I will say again, they're trying to take over. They've
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: already taken over the state of Florida. Now they're trying
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to take over the state of Texas. Mostly in Louisiana.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: They're in the swamps and the people kill them and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: eat them and they're fine over there. But here in
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: our farm ponds and little lakes, now, we don't want
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: them ever. So I'm just saying, you've got my permission. Now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: If the game boarding catches you, you've never heard of it,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and I've never heard of you. But you got to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: do what you got to do as a landowner. It's
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Cops rescued dozens of neglected animals from
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a rancid upstate New York home, including Peacock's wallabies, tarantula,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: an Australian bearded dragon lizard. Linda Hickey, aged sixty two.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Would you bring up a picture of her, because I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: have a picture in my mind, Caleb, of what Linda
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Hickey is going to look like, and I'm just going
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: to see how close this is. She was hit with
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: animal neglect charges after the grizzly discovery in the town
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of what is that That wasn't her? In the town
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: of Warwick, New York, where authorities found more than one
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: hundred other animals in putrid conditions. Sheriff Paula Tenna said
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: this case highlights the importance of community partnerships in combating
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: animal neglect. The dedication of the Warwick Valley Humane Society
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and Animal Nation allowed us to act swiftly and humanely. Well,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: we're not worried about humanly. Most of the animals were
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: kept in unsanitary fecies strewn cages, including rabbits with unkempt
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and overgrown fur. Police began investigating the home after receiving
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: complaints from the community, where animal rescue workers ended up
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: removing one hundred and six animals from the property. Deputies
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: executed an arrest warrant, which led to the search of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the house. A total of sixty six animals were seas, rabbits, geese, parents,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a raccoon, tortoises, prairie dogs, a starling, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, hamsters, ferrets,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a goat, bearded dragons, a snake, a hermit crab, a tarantula, peacocks,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: a wallaby, dogs, ducks and cats. Two days later, eighteen
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: more Hickey has been charged and the house was condemned
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: by local building officials. So did we ever find that picture? Yeah,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: probably didn't exist. I mean that just gives me the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: heb gbs I know there's a lot of crazy. We
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: all know there's a lot of crazy people in the world, right,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: we get that. How do you live with that? I mean?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And do you ever sleep? Right? If you have tarantulas
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and snakes and peacocks and oh oh that that just
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't be worse, could not be worse? All right? From

  Speaker 1: Josh Albarez Texas. Monthly he wrote a article uh this
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: for this coming Months Texas monthly talking about invasive species
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: in the state Of. Texas this has been an ongoing
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: issue for many. Years, josh how did this come to your?
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: Attention thanks for having me. On this came to my
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: attention through a friend of, mine you, know mentioned. SPEARFISHING
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: i love scuba, diving AND i was just chatting with
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: him and then you, know told him, like oh, yeah
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: LIKE i one day would love to go and try.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: On he's, like, well you should check this. Out you,
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: know you should you should reach out To Nick, manshaka
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: who was uh leads an environmental group In San marcos
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: where he spears uh catfish invasive sucker suckingout armor catfish
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: and that immediately got my attention and reached out to
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: him and found out there was a tournament and uh
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: and you know my editors were Immediately uh all systems
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: go uh for.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Me, Yeah so did you participate or did you just
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: go down and and and?
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: Watch, yes, NO i. PARTICIPATED i think part of the
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: fun of writing this piece WAS i was the first time.
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: Spearer i've never done it. Before so that's part of
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: the fun in the in the comedy at my my, Expense,
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: uh trying the new sport out and it's a tough.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Sport it's it's very. Niche. Uh you don't really see
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: it too, often but it appears to be a growing
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: sport in particular here and. ACCESS a lot of the
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: participants in the tournament were first timers or even just second,
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: timers people that only just picked it up over the past.
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: Year some people picked it up during THE covid shutdowns because,
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: again great way to get outdoors and it's a really fun.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: Sport it is not for the faint of. Heart as
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: my story gets, INTO i had some run ins with
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: some critters that you best. Avoid so.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: This particular, tournament was it only the sucker mouth armored?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Catfish was?
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: That?
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: Was?
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: That was that?
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: It as far as the, tournament that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: Was the primary. Target, yes but you're also hunting for,
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: tilapia which are also. Invasive and there's a few other things.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: TOO i, mean the group also rewards people for picking
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: up trash and also for picking up some, snails certain
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: particular kind of snails that are also. Invasive so there's
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: there's other you, know critters that you know may. Target
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: but for the most, part the biggest culprit by far
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: is the armored.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Catfish so how many of those were removed during that,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: tournament give or?
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Take SO i can actually tell you exactly how. Many
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: so over the course of sixteen, days about sixty or
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: so spears of including, myself removed four hundred and forty
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: three good farmer, catfish, yes and twenty nine. Talapia the
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: reason for soaky, talapia it's one they're a lot harder to. Catch,
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: yeah they're also easily mistaken for some native, species so
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: you have to be very careful about making sure you're
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: spearing the right, fish and there's just not that many
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: of them compared to the. Catfish but, yeah four hundred
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: and forty three and that includes spears that you, know
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: like me who ended up contributing nothing to the hall
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: because it was my first.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Time.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: SO i was very.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Humbled, yeah how large did these fish?
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: Get they can get quite, large you. Know They we're
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: seeing ones occasionally that are as long as fifteen, inches
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: so that they're they're quite. Hefty but for the most,
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: part especially with, spearing it's easy to spot the big.
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: Ones but the winner of the tournament is Named Dylan.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: Depew he caught well over one hundred, catfish but many
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: of them were, babies like little. Ones he was able
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: to actually even grab them with his bare hands and
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: just bag. Them so that's and that's very valuable obviously
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: if you can catch them while they're young before they can. Reproduce,
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah so over.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Four hundred and how long a stretch of river were people?
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Fishing so for the tournament they split up the river
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: into three. Sections they sort of pick an, upper, middle
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: and lower and you're looking at probably not very. LONG
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: i mean each SECTION i would wager, was you, know
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: maybe two hundred three hundred, meters and so it's not
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: that big of a, section but you find an incredible
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: amount even in those small, areas which is pretty terrifying
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: for the. Ecosystem but as, yes but as my piece points,
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: out you, know spearing may not eradicate the, fish but
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: it does significantly suppress the. Population but in order to eradicate,
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: them that's something that scientists are right now working on
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: figuring out how to do.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: It so is this about an average for these? Tournaments
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: was it? Was you know that it's the people that
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: were there seem to, think, yeah that we get about
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: four hundred every time we do.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: This, yeah, roughly that's that seems to be about the.
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: Case and especially in the early, years they were getting
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: more sure because there were. More BUT i was talking
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: To nick about, this and what he's noticed is that
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: over the years the numbers are sort of very slightly
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: declining in terms of how many they're picking, up but more,
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: importantly the size is also. Dropping there's the spears are
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: doing an excellent job of grabbing the big. Ones now
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: they're starting to get smaller a little bit, so and
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: that's Encouraging so.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: The other THING i really enjoyed as you you wrote
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: about how best to eat these fish that are being?
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: Speared, YES i let it go ahead.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: NOW i was just.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Wondering where the recipes came.
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: From, Yeah so there's a sidebar in the piece about
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: different kinds of invasive. SPECIES i, mean for your listeners
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: who are Around brian And College, station you'll find a
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: lot of big head, carp especially in the in The
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: Brazos river. Ye and then you also can find grasscarp
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: In Lake conroe in The Trinity river. Area so those,
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: fish by the, way are best caught just with traditional
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: rot and reel because the fish or excuse, me the
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: water that those fish are in pretty, murky no. Doubt
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: it's best to do spearing in places Like San marcos
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: because the water is super. Clear the other, thing by the,
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: way THAT i want to emphasize is spearing is best
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: done at, night which is why AGAIN i say it's,
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: sport not really for the thing, hearted because it's just
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: you a flashlight and your. Spearing you don't really know
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: what you're gonna find down. There but for for grass,
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: carp the big head, carp it's best just to use
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: rot and, reel and then for the for the eating
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: carp make for delicious. Eating you can make it in a,
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: curry you can make it in a hot, pot turn
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: it into a fish. Dip catfish can be consumed as,
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: well but for our purposes or for knicked. Purposes In
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: San marcos they most primarily compost them just because they
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: catch so many it's just not really feasible to keep
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: them frozen and then to eat. Them but, tilapia of
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: course for excellent meeting yep, uh and especially In, metaca
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: which is, exactly by the, way what the tournament. Does
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: at the end of the, tournament which is held twice a,
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: year the next, one by the, way is held In,
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: november so registration is about to open, up so first
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: time first timers are very welcome to join and try
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: their hand at. It and regardless of how well you,
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: do you are invited at the end to a fish
• 47:24
  Speaker 7: fry That nick hosts In San, marcos and he fries
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: up and volunteers try out talapia that they caught into free,
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: Tacos so you don't have to even participate in the
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: tournament to go down and pick up some free tacos from.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Him the the, talapia as you, mentioned they're they're on
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: restaurant menus for. SURE i know that they are farm,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: raised and apparently that's where many of these have come
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: from as they escape into public.
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: Waterways, yes so especially you know, talapia the primarily escaped
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: that we're serving as coolants for power. Plants they thrive
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: in water that's a little, cooler which is why again
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: they seem to have found a home in The San
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: marcos river systems because the water there is seventy two
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: degrees year, round which is nice and cool for them
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: and carpet their own you, know escape, stories a lot
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: of them from fish, farms and then some of them
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: from stocking, farms people that you, know we're on private,
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: land but then get flooded and then they swam into public.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Waters you, KNOW i know from experience for people who
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: have had either private, lake semi private or. Whatever when
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the hydrilla starts choking off the, water they'll bring in
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: grasscarp and there's a there's such a ballance there because
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: as you, mentioned they become prolific and they eat everything.
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: Exactly, yes all these fish are our major threats to
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: native wildlife and to the. Ecosystems they eat either the
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: same food as native, fish or they eat the food
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: that native fish rely, on especially plankton and and detritus
• 49:18
  Speaker 7: like that's something that is a direct threat To texas native. Species,
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: so you, know this is a case where you, know
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: hunting and fishing very much is encouraged by The Texas
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: parks Of Wildlife department to help out in suppressing their
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: populations and in helping the native species thrive and at
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: least have a chance against these.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: INVASIVES i wasn't aware of the silver. Carp you mentioned
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: they come and you you you note where all of
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: these fish are, native and the silver carp comes From
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: china And russia And, vietnam AND i was not. Aware
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: and you you Mentioned Red river tributaries And Lake texoma
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and that area where they've. COME i guess that's because
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: there are fish farms in that area where they've escaped.
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: From that's the best of my. Understanding that's exactly what,
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: happened that there were fish farms and stocked ponds again
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: on private, land but. Flooding you, Know i'm not sure
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: exactly how long ago might have, happened but probably a while,
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: ago you, know decades, ago there was some flooding that
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: happened and then the fish escaped from those ponds and
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: then entered into The Red River, Lake texoma areas and
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: are are there and have thrived. Unfortunately but, yeah a
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: lot of carp you, know both the silver silver, grass
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: and they've had all of them come From asia and
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: In russian again almost all of them were escape us
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: from fish.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Farms, Now i've known about the lionfish for a long.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: TIME i you, KNOW i spend a lot of time
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: in the salt, water AND i know In florida it's
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: been a huge. Problem you mentioned The Gulf coast Of
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: texas out the flower. Gardens these THINGS i know are
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: really good to eat if they're cleaned and taken care of.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Properly BUT i know In florida there's been a war
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: on lionfish for a long.
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: Time, yes and unfortunately that war has spread to much
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: of the rest of The. CARIBBEAN i happened to actually
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: have been In jamaica just a little over a year
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: ago scuba diving there and some of the team of
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: scuba DIVERS i was with they were spearing. Lionfish they
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: really are, everywhere which is their beautiful. Fish it's fun
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: to look, at but then you realize that for every
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: one of, those there's probably a lot of other fish
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: that should have been there but are not because they've
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: been driven away by their. Predatory as they're aggressive predators
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: and they're also very, adaptable they will learn to eat
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: whatever is available to. Them so, yeah they're a, menace
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: and not only For, florida but also again for the
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: rest of The caribbean and for the flower garden. Banks
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: and there's also Again Texas parks And wildlife actually hosts
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: a spearing invitational you have to. Apply but for scuba
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: divers to go and help not only hunt them but.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Research, them you have to handle those fairly, carefully do you?
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: Not, yes definitely they you, know their barbs are. Poisonous
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: they don't they can't kill, you it's nothing that, severe
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: but they definitely hurt if they get too close to,
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: you and could cause some pretty severe. Irritation but they're
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: pretty slow, swimmers you, Know so if you aim, well
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: you should be, fine but if you do, miss you
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: do have to learn how to back up pretty.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Quick Uh and and AS i mentioned, EARLIER i know
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: that that in a lot of. RESTAURANTS i don't want
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: to say, delicacy but but they are very popular fish to,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: eat are they.
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: Not they're. Fantastic. Yes if any if you ever get
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: a chance to and your listeners get a chance to
• 53:16
  Speaker 7: order some, linfish do not pass up the. Opportunity. Uh
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: it's they're they're fantastic eating and there and.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: AS i, mentioned they're they're fairly common in restaurants in The,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: keys Especially uh in, RESTAURANTS i mean.
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: Yes, uh definitely in The. Keys uh and UH i
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: wonder as well IF i ought to look into this
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: some more if there's availability for them in in restaurants
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: on The gulf coast Of texas as, well because they
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: they are becoming prolific there and and again are are
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: are eating quite quite good for hunting and and for
• 53:51
  Speaker 7: eating sometimes if you go on an expedition like AGAIN
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: i saw this in In. Jamaica even you know you'll
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: catch these and then build lay it right on the
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: boat and serve it. Up, yes it's a, yeah it's.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Delicious so, so now that you've been on underwater night spearfishing,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: journey are you ready to venture into the golf on
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: a night time spearfishing? Venture?
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: Sure, no it's it's it really. Is it's a thrilling.
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: Sport it's a lot of, fun and, uh it's it's
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: a it's a very uh you, know you you're part
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: of the. Elements, uh there's there's no separation between you
• 54:32
  Speaker 7: and you know the other critters that are out uh you,
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: know hunting. Themselves, yes, uh and, YEAH i had a
• 54:38
  Speaker 7: couple of close encounters with with some pretty terrifying creatures
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: THAT i detailed the story And i'll leave that for
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: the readers to uh uh discover for themselves with. Me
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: but it's it's a really great. Sport it is SOMETHING i.
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: Recommend and again you're doing some good uh you, know
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: for the environment and also probably for your appetite as.
• 55:00
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Well the other THING i would say is The San
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: marcus is a little shallower than The gulf Of, mexico
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: so controlling your breath is probably a little more problematic
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: on those deeper dives in the.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: Gulf, YES i would venture to say. So and there's
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: probably some more difficult, creatures, yeah a little.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Bit and yes and. Such. Yes Josh alvarez has this
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: article on invasive species in The october edition Of Texas
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Monthly josh really really fun. READ i really appreciate your time.
• 55:42
