Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of Kamala Harris in the slightest, I think she is an embarrassment to the country and the human race as a whole.
However, although there are plenty of examples available to showcase her “idiocracy”, I believe this video has most surely been edited.
I probably should be jumping on the bandwagon, but there are so many legit examples of her incompetence and it just hurts our argument when put out f**e ones.
What’s fair is fair.

I couldn’t disagree more. Headwaters is run by marine biologists and is strict catch and release only. It’s arguably the best bass factory in America. They currently stock Toledo Bend w/ 400,000+ fingerlings yearly, so what you say makes no sense. Today there are over 30 million bass fisherman in America. If we all took 6 bass on one outing that would be 180 million bass gone! It’s not 1950 where grandpa came home w a stringer of bass. I’ll continue to advocate for catch and release to assure quality fishing for future generations.

Don’t get me wrong, catch and release is a good thing. I haven’t kept bass to eat in years; mostly because they aren’t the best fish to eat and I usually don’t care to clean fish after being out on the water all day.
But, you are forgetting the millions of bass that are spawning naturally. Also, the biologists with Texas Parks and Wildlife, in cooperation with their Louisiana counterparts set bag limits based upon the population and size of fish in the lake compared with the amount of forage and cover available to support them. If fish populations decline, then bag limits will be adjusted accordingly.
Fisherman fish for crappie and catfish almost entirely to keep and eat. Again, bag limits are set to assure that their population stays at an acceptable level.
Also, I kept 7 fish, not six. And we released twice as many that day.

No offense and to each his own, but as someone who has had a love affair w this beautiful species for the past 40+ years it makes me sad to see so many harvested at an outing. I prefer to conserve for future generations. Stocks would be quickly depleted if we all subscribed to such practices.😞
I agree JD, I typically always catch and release the bass I catch. We care for my elderly father-in-law with advanced stage Parkinson’s Disease. He requested that I bring home fish for a fish fry, and I knew it would make his day. I’m hoping that Toledo Bend will survive
Got this video of a bald eagle snatching a fish out of the water. The video would have been longer, but I forgot to hit record at first 🫤.
They always look majestic no matter how many times you see them!
I fished Toledo Bend the last couple of days. We did fairly well on June Bug worms in 2-7 feet of water. And on red rattle traps over grass in larger flats. Yesterday caught better fish around docks in a deep cove. Sorry for the bad pic, it was an afterthought.
He sounds like great man! Sorry for your loss, Jeremy..
Happy Birthday PB!!! Hope you have a great day!
I’m too new here to know Greg, but if anyone knows where he lives, maybe the local police can do a welfare check on him. Just a thought.
There is also another American prisoner in Russia. He was a teacher to children of employees of the US Embassy. Got caught with medical marijuana at the airport and sentenced to 14 years. His name is Marc Fogel. He also made poor choices, but nobody is talking about him. Here is a link to that story.

I think that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Her stupid prize was a 9 year prison sentence and she won it through her own stupidity.
I do believe that the Russians made her sentence more harsh for the specific purpose of having stronger negotiation power for a trade for bout. But she still put herself in that position.
I don’t believe we should have exchanged prisoners for Private Bergdahl either.
Prisoner exchanges just make it more dangerous for other Americans, so as a general rule, I am against it.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

agree. I was being a little sarcastic
I knew you were, but there is so much being blamed on Russia. Some of it probably is because of Russia, which is scary. They have way too much influence over us.
Great story and spot on advice!! I need to remember that sometimes myself.
In my opinion, saying that ANYTHING is Russia’s fault is admitting that we depend upon Russia. If we are dependent upon Russia, then things have gone horribly wrong. Just ain’t right.
I’m not saying that your natural gas bill is Russia’s fault, but this administration has given that excuse before.
