Can't say but the IGFA world record black crappie is 5 pounds.

It's a Royal Coachman dry fly. When I took up fly tying and fly fishing for trout at 17 y.o. I must have tied a dozen or more of these in the pre-season because I thought they were stunningly beautiful and I couldn't imagine how a trout could possibly resist one. That season I caught exactly no trout on a Royal Coachman, try as I might. It's called an attractor pattern because it's all pretty and colorful and resembles nothing in nature. It sure attracted me! Trout? Not so much. There's a lesson to be learned in there somewhere.

If you can see the fish then the fish can see you. Try a low, stealthy approach to avoid spooking them.

I've always thought the bluegill was the most ferocious freshwater fish. If they could get above 10 pounds, you'd never be able to land one and they'd probably attack your boat, follow you home and play hell with your pit bull.

They're not. Look them up.

According to this site:

The difference between the flight of a baseball over 400 feet is about +19 feet with a -10% change in air density (hot and humid) and -18 feet with a +10% change in air density (cold and dry). That works out to about a 5% difference in distance traveled for each case. Adding 5% to a 50 foot cast is 2.5 feet, so there's a difference but not much. If your casts are 40-50 feet on some days and 60-90 feet on others, then it's not due to air pressure. It's probably just you.

This whole mask SNAFU hasn't made sense from Day 1, whenever that was. We were expected to believe that masks were ineffective unless you were a health worker. I'm pretty sure the Creator didn't make health workers any different than other folks. If they just wanted to save the masks for the health workers they should have told us that instead of this BS about masks not being effective. I've been listening to the President's daily press briefings and to the briefings by my governor and a couple of others. The governors have been straightforward and factual and they've concentrated on the effects to the people in their states, including little obituary-type reports with a human angle. Very impressive, Governors! I wish I could say the same for the President but his are mostly self-praise, boasting, blaming and insulting the members of the press. The less said about his briefings, the better. Sorry, but I just expected much, much more from a President of the United States and I'm extremely disappointed in his performance during this terrible crisis in our country. I had hoped that he would grow into the job. He hasn't.
I was also impressed with Maryland GOP Governor Larry Hogan and with his Korean-born wife, Yumi, who helped Maryland to acquire 500,000 testing kits from South Korea when the Feds told them to get their own kits. So they did and now some seeds of warmth and friendship have been sown between at least one of the United States and a necessary foreign ally and friend. Good job, Governor and Mrs. Hogan! Maybe the Federal government will learn something constructive from your actions. But I doubt it.
Back to the masks, everyone in my syate is supposed to wear one when they visit any stores which brings up a question I don't know the answer to. If everyone is supposed to wear a mask and if retail store clerks are supposed to ask everyone for a "government issued picture ID" before selling them booze or tobacco, how are those clerks supposed to tell if the person showing the ID is the same as the person on the ID? Just another of life's little mysteries in the age of COVFEFE-19.

Wow. A county judge decides what people can and can't do in Texas and also how much the fine is.
I wonder what rules you could make if you were the dog catcher in that state. Gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.

That's not really a choice; everyone is going to pick the good-looking car if they're both in the same price range. How about a car that looks like garbage but runs well or a beautiful car that runs like garbage, in the same price range? In other words, do you prefer form over function or vice-versa?

That's pretty much the result when the scientists do the research and the politicians hire lawyers to write the law. Sometimes they even look at the research results, but not very often. By the time the law gets signed by the Governor, it's not about the fish anymore anyway.

Try water with fish in it. That's the best answer since you might be in outer Mongolia from all the info you've given us. At least narrow it down to the continent you live in.

Cut off 50 yards, use the rest. Should only take half the time.
Or not

"The men, who were not identified, face a penalty of $100 per fish, or potentially $12,800 for each angler, authorities said. Officials say the men were additionally charged with unsafe operation of a vessel, operating a power vessel without valid registration, and failing to have appropriate vessel safety gear."

I'm pretty sure taking away their fishing licenses won't be much of a deterrent for these two losers. They'd probably see it as a way to save money.

I don't have one but you can get one for $299 on Kickstarter:
