The taxman always gets his share.

Or in this case, he gets the whole thing. Fishermen are always having to keep an eye out for the "taxman," which is what experienced fishers call sharks that lurk behind and around their boats, waiting to steal away their hard-earned catches. It's a really shallow thing to do, but you can't really blame the sharks in the sea for getting an easy meal.

In this clip from 2019 out of Orleans, Massachusetts, it appears that a family had gone out on an excursion with Columbia Sportfishing when the striped bass they had hooked quickly turned...

We Go Fishing

A recent study is causing anglers and wildlife officials some confusion. Yale University conducted a study that determined a genetic difference between largemouth bass and what is now being called "Florida bass". In response to this study, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has declared bass found in Florida's waterways "Florida bass". The American Fisheries Society has agreed to the distinction between the species.

An Aurora City Council committee discussed Thursday a new Aurora program aimed at helping people retrieve their stolen cars. The Public Safety, Courts and Civil Service committee heard from Aurora police about MetroTrack. MetroTrack uses a car’s existing GPS, such as OnStar, to locate stolen autos. For cars older than 2015 models, police can hide Apple air tags on the car and track it that way.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Portsmouth, NH

On Tuesday, a whale struck and swamped a fishing boat off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sending two fishermen into the water. The whale breached the surface just feet from the boat's stern, and it landed with its head on the port-side outboard engine and the boat's transom. The fiberglass boat - far lighter than the whale - immediately flipped to port and dumped the two occupants into the water.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
