Almost forgot. There is breaking news on the Crazy Mexican Girl front. Judging from her comments on TV that she is from the Commonweath of Puerto Rico. ( so she is American after all) Not sure how OP got that wrong, with our record of reliability here at RIU.

Head down to Long Point Bay for bass - lots of small/large mouth and rock bass there. Or Lake Erie for walleye and Lake St Clair for muskie.

One man's treasure is another man's trash.

Bass and Walleye are invasive species that are threats to wild salmon here, in Oregon. Good eating, though. I'd take them if I could.

Most areas won't allow bass to be taken by spear but they are experimenting with it on one of our rivers.

ODFW gets creative in battling bass problem on Coquille

For the first time ever, Oregon has approved spearfishing for a game fish — with a specific goal of reducing the number of smallmouth bass in the Coquille River.
theworldlink.com theworldlink.com
.

In explaining the purpose of the temporary rule change allowing anyone with a fishing license to spearfish for smallmouth bass on the Coquille River, Vonderohe said the numbers of fall Chinook returning to the Coquille have sharply declined — from an average of 6,000 to fewer than 500 in the fall of 2018, then to fewer than 275 in the fall of 2019.
An internal ODFW task force considered those declining numbers and decided to take a number of actions, including making spearfishing an option in the Coquille.

Basically, the environment is warming and bass are now favored over salmon in many areas of our state. Got to change with the times.

I live near the Apalachicola River and the Apalachicola National Forest. Our biggest fishing related industry has always been grubbing worms in the national forest, mainly to be used as bait for bream. The bulk of the worms are shipped north. My wife's family is still in the business. They buy the worms from the fish baiters (as that profession is called here), package them and ship them out.

But we do have folks from Alabama and Georgia come down, staying in fish camps, buying food, gas, beer and worms. All in pursuit of bream. But all that has been changing since 1982. Now we have Flathead catfish wreaking havoc. A single adult flathead will eat several pounds of bream a day. I couldn't find the story, but several years back the Florida Fish and Game (rabbit sheriffs) shocked the river and recorded what floated to the top. There were several tons of flathead per mile of river. Starting in the 90's there has been a big push to get fishermen to go after them. Now just about every town on the river has an annual flathead tournament. People catch bream for bait now.

The flathead catfish is an exotic invader of river systems in the Florida Panhandle that gobbles just about any native fish that doesn't eat it first.

Yes it’s always been strange to me (before I actually ate them) that bream and bluegill are considered a game fish down south. Here I can stand on my dock and throw a cast net (shhh, illegal here lol) and get 15-20 each time. I let everything go that I catch now except for the odd northern pike which I love and the odd walleye. The lake I live on was known for its trophy bass, lake trout and white fish but now it’s slim pickings for everything except lake trout which are now stocked (they don’t reproduce anymore). I have lived here for 60 years and it’s sad what has happened over the last 30 years. I do love a good Cajun spiced cat fish though .... yum.

We used to be able to catch big striped bass when they had to be 36" and one a day was the limit. So what do they do? Drop the size to 18" and let you keep two now you can't buy a good fish. Smelt, herring, tomcod, winter flounder, wolfish, monkfish, fluke and tautog are all gone. At least you freshwater guys have better management. Walleye caught thru the ice in winter and fried up in your ice house with a couple of fat bones. Now that's good fish.

I breaks my heart, seeing how much the environment has degraded and what overfishing has wrought. Redfish Lake in Idaho was so named for the run of Salmon that came up the Salmon River to spawn in the streams that fed that lake. The lake would turn red with their numbers. 16 made their way to the lake last year.

Hey look, AP finally posted a story about this.

https://apnews.com/article/miya-ponsetto-arrested-1f7896743fd3cf532ff9b453f777fd94

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman who falsely accused a Black teenager of stealing her phone and then tackled him at a New York City hotel was arrested in her home state of California.

Miya Ponsetto, 22, was jailed Thursday in Ventura County, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office there said. It wasn’t immediately clear what charges she might face.

The New York Police Department flew detectives out to California earlier Thursday with a warrant for Ponsetto’s arrest. The trip followed days of intense media coverage of the fracas at the hotel and demands by the teen’s family and activists that she face criminal charges.

Ponsetto’s lawyer, Sharen Ghatan, said in an interview before the arrest that her client is “emotionally unwell” and remorseful for her Dec. 26 conflict with 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. at Manhattan’s Arlo Hotel.

The teen’s father, jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, recorded the confrontation and put the video online.

In his video, an agitated woman is seen demanding the teen’s phone, claiming he stole it. A hotel manager tries to intervene. Keyon Harrold can be heard in the recording telling the woman to leave his son alone. Ghatan confirmed that Ponsetto is the woman in the video.

Security video later released by the NYPD shows Ponsetto frantically grabbing at the teen as he tried to get away from her through the hotel’s front door. She’s seen clutching him from behind before both tumble to the ground.

Ponsetto’s missing phone had actually been left in an Uber and was returned by the driver shortly afterward, Keyon Harrold has said.

The altercation drew comparisons to cases like that of Amy Cooper, a white woman who was charged with filing a false report for calling 911 and saying she was being threatened by “an African American man” during a dispute in New York’s Central Park in May.

Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Ponsetto after spotting her driving near her home in Piru, northwest of Los Angeles, said department Capt. Eric Buschow.

She drove two blocks before stopping her vehicle, then refused to get out of the car, Buschow said.

“She tried to slam the door on one of the deputies and that’s when they just reached in and forcibly removed her,” he said, adding that the sheriff’s office would ask county prosecutors to charge her with resisting arrest.

Ghatan said she spoke to her client earlier Thursday, and that “she strikes me as someone who’s unwell.”

She said Ponsetto “lashed out” over worry about her phone disappearing, and that it wasn’t racially motivated.

It “could have been anyone,” she said.

"It “could have been anyone,” she said. "

It wasn't anyone. It was a black kid. Black people represent 16% of this population but they keep being anyone'ed. Kind of sick of the free pass given.

The closing line was a whitewash. So, no. This wasn't all that great of a job by the AP.

Lol, they only do a good job when they narrate using completely useless stats that bolster your preferred narrative.

This means nothing and is neither relevant or pertinent. Thats why useless "facts" that pander to the virtue signaling crowd were not included . You're no better than a trumptard scanning for things that feed your phoney, moral.outrage.

I don't think that they needed to add it.

I agree with you that is the case, but it is not on the AP to make that leap. Which is why I even bumped this stupid thread with it, since it was said that it was in the AP, when it never was until now.

If the passage had been lifted upward in the article so that it didn't end with "but it wasn't racism", a statement that any lawyer WOULD make regardless if were true or not, then it would have been OK. Lawyers do what they are paid to do. But so should journalists.

I read that and thought, "dismissive of the Black voice". Nothing new, just tired of it.

NEW YORK (AP) — A white woman who wrongly accused a Black teenager of stealing her cellphone and tackled him at a New York City hotel appeared to back off her apology in a TV interview that aired Monday, suggesting without evidence that maybe he did try to steal her phone after all.

“So, maybe it wasn’t him but at the same time how is it so that as soon as I get asked to leave the premises after I had accused this person of stealing my phone, how is that all of a sudden they just miraculously have my phone at the back?” 22-year-old Miya Ponsetto said in the interview on “CBS This Morning.”

The interview was conducted Thursday, hours before Ponsetto was arrested in Ventura County, California, over the Dec. 26 confrontation with 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. Ponsetto was charged Saturday in New York with attempted robbery, grand larceny, acting in a manner injurious to a child and two counts of attempted assault, according to city police.

Security video released by the police shows Ponsetto frantically grabbing at Harrold as he tries to get away from her through the front door of Manhattan’s Arlo Hotel. The teen’s father, jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, has said that Ponsetto’s phone had actually been left in an Uber and was returned by the driver.

In the first part of the CBS interview, broadcast Friday, Ponsetto told host Gayle King, “I don’t feel that that is who I am as a person. I don’t feel like this one mistake does define me.”

She was frequently combative in the clips that aired Monday, interrupting King and her own attorney, Sharen H. Ghatan.

Ponsetto said she was “sorry from the bottom of my heart” but added, “He’s 14? That’s what they’re claiming? Yeah, I’m 22, I’ve lived probably just the same amount of life, like honestly. I’m just as a kid at heart as he is.”

When King asked her to go over the events at the hotel, Ponsetto said, “You already asked me that at the beginning of the interview. I’m not going over it again. I would like to have a real interview with real questions and real heart and real sincere apologies. Let 2021 be the moment of healing, seriously.”

Ponsetto’s arrest followed more than a week of media coverage of the hotel lobby encounter and demands by the teen’s family and activists that she face criminal charges over what was seen as an instance of racial profiling.

In the CBS interview, Ponsetto denied profiling the teenager and said her heritage is partly Puerto Rican. When King asked her if she believed a person of color could not be racist, she said, “Exactly.”

“I feel sorry that I made the family go through all that stress but at the same time it wasn’t just them going through that, “she said in a “CBS This Morning” interview that aired Friday. “But I do sincerely from the bottom of my heart apologize that if I made the son feel as if I assaulted him or if I hurt his feelings or the father’s feelings.”

At a news conference on Monday in New York City, the teen’s family called for a boycott of the hotel, claiming it had racially profiled him in its response.

“This is the reality of Black mothers in America,” said his mother, Kat Rodriguez. “Every day we must face the reality that a simple case of mistaken identity or a misunderstanding can end in tragedy.”

Management of the Arlo Hotel previously posted on Facebook that they had reached out to apologize to the family.
