Last week, we made another visit to Spirit Lake / Okoboji, Iowa, to pay our respects to the putatively “largest #paddlefish ever caught”. We also did some fishing. doi.org/10.1002/fsh....

Name those fish… 🎃
Just spotted this scene from the movie Hocus Pocus. Home decor of the Dennison family features two framed fish prints. Only context is that the family recently moved from Los Angeles to Salem. Left image appears to be a trout sp. 🤷♂️

Heilman: Bowfin fishing, research leads to new discoveries
Well, the native fish folks are at it again, stirring the pot and doing weird stuff in public. They’re relentless like that—but in a good way.

As an avid motorcyclist AND a scientist, I couldn’t help but collect some sound data when installing a new exhaust on my bike. “Loud pipes save lives” is complete bullshit. I reduced the loudness by almost 10% to 96.5db at 6k rpm with improved performance. Forest friendly too. 😎

Finn is still grinding away with #bmx racing. He’s no speed demon (quite tentative), but he enjoys it and is slowly improving. Probably needs a better coach.
