TIDBITS® THROWS IN A LINE

WHAT A CATCH!by Patricia L. Cook

Fishing is a favorite pastime of people all over the world. It also is a great way to feed your family. You’ve probably heard the proverb: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Let’s catch some fishy Tidbits!

• Valentine’s Day 2011 was a big day for a fisherman from Vicksburg, Mississippi, who caught a 327-pound (148 kg), 8-foot, 5.25-inch (2.6 m) alligator gar while fishing at Chotard Lake. The huge fish, believed to be between 50 and 70 years old, was donated to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science to be prepared for a future display. The alligator gar is quite terrifying with two rows of sharp teeth.

• That gar was big but not as big as the largest catfish ever caught. It was as big as a grizzly bear! The Mekong giant catfish, caught in the Mekong River in Thailand in 2005, was 9 feet long (2.7 m) and weighed 646 pounds (237 kg). It died as fishermen struggled for about an hour to capture it and became a tasty meal for the local villagers.

WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• How would you like to see a school bus

swimming in the waters near your boat? If you painted a whale shark yellow and put in some windows, that is about what you would see. Whale sharks are the biggest fish in the world. They can grow to more than 40 feet (12 m) in length and can weigh up to 30 tons (27 metric tons)!

• Whale sharks swim in warm ocean waters mostly near the equator. However, they have been occasionally spotted as far north as the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada. Whale sharks swims with their mouths open. Those mouths can be up to 5 feet (1.5 m) wide — large enough to fit a small car inside! (Hmmm. Remember the Bible story of Jonah being swallowed by the big fish?) The world’s biggest fish actually prefers small food, mostly plankton, sardines and other small fish. Whale sharks have more than 3,000 teeth, smaller than fingernails.

• Not as big as a whale shark, but to be feared more, is the bull shark. Bull sharks are very aggressive and can be found in freshwater as well as saltwater. They have been found in the Amazon and the Mississippi Rivers. They get their name from the fact that they head-butt their prey and have tough attitudes.

• A fish that appears to have a grouchy attitude is the grouper. With its lower jar protruding in a nasty under-bite, this fish is not good looking but is very tasty. This relative of the sea bass is a healthy favorite with restaurants and home cooks.

• The largest grouper on record caught with a rod and reel was pulled out of the water in Destin, Florida, on December 22, 1985. It weighed a whopping 436 pounds (198 kg)!

WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• There are 162 species of grouper, with Red,

Nassau and Black, being the most common in America. They have some really odd little “friends” that help them. Cleaner fish are tiny fish that swim inside a grouper’s mouth and eat the food that is trapped between the big fish’s teeth. Who needs a dentist?!

• Grouper are bottom feeders, which means they typically swim and eat at the bottom of the water. Catfish are also bottom feeders. Some are even called “mudcats.”

• The 36th Annual World Catfish Festival was held in Belzoni, Humphreys County, Mississippi, on April 2 this year. This family event celebrates the catfish farming industry that started in the area in the 1960s. Since that time, U.S. catfish farming has grown tremendously. There are 466 million pounds (211,374 metric tons) processed annually. Of the 95,200 acres (38,526 ha) in the United States devoted to catfish farming, 64,000 acres (25,900 ha) are in Mississippi. About 95 percent of the farm-raised catfish in the United States is raised in the Southern states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana.

• Farm-raised catfish are not bottom feeders like wild catfish. They are raised in ponds of fresh water that are only 4 to 6 feet deep. The catfish are fed high protein feed pellets, made from soybean meal, corn and rice that float on top of the water. No. 1 in the South for many years, the popularity of catfish has spread across the country. With its consistent white meat and mild flavor, it is now the fifth most popular fish in America.

• Some really strange nicknames are given to another fish that is a favorite on dinner tables. “Whales,” Soakers” and “Barn Doors” are monikers for large halibut.



WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• Halibut the size of one caught in 2003 in

the Bering Sea, west of Anchorage, Alaska, definitely deserve any of those nicknames. The giant was 8 feet, 2 inches (2.4 m) long and weighed an estimated 533 pounds (242 kg). Five people struggled to pull it in!

• Halibut has firm, flaky snow-white meat. The fillets are called “fletches.” One halibut has four fletches. The real delicacies coming from halibut though are the “cheeks.” They, obviously, come from the head.

• Halibut are from a group of mostly saltwater, bottom-dwelling fish called flatfish. When these fish hatch, their eyes are normally on each side of the head. After they grow a bit, one eye moves closer to the other, and the mouth twists until the eyes and mouth are on top. The underside of a flatfish is white, but the top may be brightly colored. Many flatfish can change colors to match their surroundings, making for good camouflage. Some other flatfish are sole, turbot and the odd-looking flounder.

• We’ve saved what has become one of the best-selling catches for last in this Tidbits. Salmon has been growing in popularity, with many health reports sending it to the top of the charts for human consumption. It is considered one of the healthiest fish to eat: high in omega-3 essential fatty acids and protein and low in calories and saturated fat.

• Salmon is not only good for your heart and overall health, studies have also shown that it is great for your skin. Dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone has written several books explaining how a diet consisting of high amounts of salmon can lead to wrinkle-free skin.

• Hopefully you have “caught” the message in this Tidbits: Fish are fun to catch and great for eating!

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:ERIK WEIHENMAYER

Born in Hong Kong on September 23, 1968, Erik Weihenmayer is an amazing athlete who has not only touched many people’s lives, he has touched the tops of the “Seven Summits.” This feat is ambitious for anyone but even more so for Erik, who lost his vision at age 13. • Weihenmayer was born with a degenerative

eye disease called retinoschisis and started his young life with thick glasses and some limited vision. Shortly after totally losing his vision, he also lost his mother in a tragic car accident. His father, an ex-Marine, was determined to keep his family strong in spite of the tragedies they had to endure. He took his three teenage sons on mountain climbing trips all over the world, including Nepal, South America and India.

• With his dad and brothers encouraging him, Weihenmayer persevered in spite of the difficulty. He has emerged today as a world-class athlete. He not only climbs mountains, he is a long-distance biker, acrobatic skydiver, marathon runner, skier, ice climber and rock climber.

• Weihenmayer graduated from Boston College in 1991 and earned his master’s degree in education from Lesley College in 1993. He taught middle school for six years. He also served as wrestling coach.

• On May 25, 2001, Weihenmayer reached the summit of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, becoming the only blind man in history to accomplish such a feat. He didn’t stop there though! When he stood on top of Carstenz Pyramid, the tallest peak of Australia/Oceania, on August 20, 2008, he completed his quest to climb the “Seven Summits,” the highest mountains on each of the seven continents of the world. Fewer than 100 mountaineers are able to claim this accomplishment.

• Thanks to his perseverance and persistence, Weihenmayer has not let his blindness keep him from accomplishing goals or leading an exciting and exhilarating life.

ERIK WEIHENMAYER (continued):

• Through the years, Weihenmayer has accomplished much. He has been honored with numerous awards, including: induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the Helen Keller Lifetime Achievement Award, Nike’s Casey Martin Award, an ESPY award, the Freedom Foundation’s Free Spirit Award and more. He also carried the Olympic Torch for the summer and winter games.

• Today, Weihenmayer is a motivational speaker with a very busy schedule. When he is not on an outdoor adventure, he is encouraging others to find adventure and the courage to push their own limits. He is a follower when he needs to be but definitely a inspirational leader. “Leadership is contagious,” he said. “We pass it from body to body, from life to life, and we give all the people around us the courage to do great things.”

• Weihenmayer’s first book, “Touch the Top of the World” has been published in six languages in 10 countries. It was made into a feature film in 2006. He co-authored a second book with Paul Stoltz, titled “The Adversity Advantage.” A film about Weihenmayer and a group of six blind Tibetan teenagers he lead up a 23,000-foot (7010 m) peak near Mount Everest was made into a movie in 2007, titled “Blindsight.”

• As a motivational speaker, Weihenmayer has spoken to audiences all around the world. He says we all must realize the importance of teamwork, pursuing dreams and having the courage to reach for goals even when they seem impossible. He stresses that, “One does not have to have perfect eyesight to have extraordinary vision.”

STRANGE STRENGTH Have you ever walked through a spider web and had a hard time getting it off your clothes or out of your hair? Spiders’ webs have amazing strength. Some spiders spin silk that is considered to be the strongest fiber on earth: stronger than steel and stronger than Kevlar! • Way back in 1881, a physician in Tombstone,

Arizona, named George Emery Goodfellow pulled a silk handkerchief from the breast pocket of a man who was shot in a gun battle. The doctor found two bullets inside the hanky. The silk handkerchief had stopped the bullets from entering the man’s body. Dr. Goodfellow was intrigued and began studying the strength of silk.

• Kevlar is a manmade material discovered by scientists at DuPont in 1964. It is stronger than steel but expensive. It is used for military applications, like helmets and bulletproof vests, and many other everyday products, like tires. It has helped provide safety in areas where strength is important.

• Kevlar is not metal, yet it is stronger than steel. According to Tucker Norton of DuPont, a spider web is even stronger. “If you look in a spider web, and if you just took one single strand of that spider silk, that strand is stronger than steel as well — a lot like Kevlar,” said Norton. “The problem is, we haven’t figured out how to make that commercially at a large scale.”

• Spiders, eight-legged arachnids, and their ability to manufacture fragile-looking fibers that are pound-for-pound stronger than steel, have been studied for decades. The individual threads of spider silk are extremely strong. Scientists are amazed that spiders seem to be able to match tasks with the type of silk needed.



STRANGE STRENGTH (continued):• According to biologists from the University

of California at Riverside, “A typical garden spider can spin seven different types of silks.” Researchers are hoping to figure out how to produce the silk that spiders produce someday, possibly by splicing the silk gene into plants that can be planted and harvested.

• Currently Professor Randy Lewis at the University of Wyoming is splicing spider genes into goats and using the goat’s milk to come up with “goat-generated, man-made spider silk.” This silk looks promising, but the original spider silk is still about 10 times stronger than what science has come up with.

• Dr. Lewis is hoping that someday, goat silk will be readily available for use in lightweight bulletproof vests, artificial ligaments, bones and tendons and more. The military is providing funding, hoping that in the future, wounded soldiers will be helped by the combining of nature and science.

• Not only are the webs of spiders amazing when it comes silk strength, but spiders are very productive workers. To see the awesome web work of “stretch” spiders, or Tetragnatha, visit Lake Tawokoni State Park in Texas. Many of these spiders work together to cover trees and other plants with a massive spider web. While most of us are probably not apt to enjoy being too close to the weird work, the park superintendent says it is one of the “best bug free areas in the park, acting as a giant mosquito net.”
