19. New travel/vehicle spin rods from Fenwick and Ugly Stik
Not on TW but here is the Ugly Stik and here is the Fenwick (inshore but...).
20. AR DNR says life jacket use still too low
> Only 20% of the 207 individuals involved in boating accidents last year were wearing a life jacket at the time of the accident, and only 1 of the 9 victims involved in boating fatalities recorded last year were wearing a life jacket.
21. TX deer-breeding politician withdraws bill to kill DNR 🤯
WTHeck:
> Rep. Curry says he filed the bill "to get the agency's attention after discussions over proposed regulations on deer breeders had failed."
Not saying the DNR is right about whatever the issue is, but what that dude did is a) conflict of interest and b) sounds real darn unethical?
22. Ex-Evinrude owner BRP was down in Q4
Such like:
> Revenues of $2,097.6 mil, a decrease of 19.7% compared to last year, resulting from continued softer demand and the company's objective to reduce network inventory;
> Net loss of $44.5 mill, a decrease of 114.7% compared to last year
> Normalized EBITDA of $239.8 mil, a decrease of 44.6% compared to last year
When you read such corporate stuff, bear in mind that they're putting the most positive spin on it possible.
23. OR: Here's you some junk, in my 2c
Headline: Climate Change's Dual Threat To Native Species
> The researchers found that future climate conditions [they know the future??] will reduce habitat suitability for native and non-native species [okay for both...but in the future?], but an increase in habitat overlap [how?] might [MIGHT? but don't they know the future?] exacerbate the negative effects of non-native species, potentially [POTENTIALLY? I thought they knew the future?] leading to local extinctions of native species.
> Using ecological niche models, which are computational tools that use environmental data to predict where species live [ie, they made this up and it's not in the real world even though they call it a "study"], Arismendi, Guillermo Giannico and Arif Jan developed a framework to assess how climate change [aka, undefinable and always has been unpredictable weather] influences the range of and habitat overlap among species. [Is this built-in bias?]
> For the study, they evaluated the invasion [invasion?] of non-native smallmouth bass and northern pike in the Pacific Northwest and their impact on native redband trout and bull trout.
Just how it looks to me, reading carefully. Science folks, if I got any of this wrong pls lmk.

Easton Fothergill is NOT the northern-most US Classic winner, according to the research of bass-head Mark B:
- Luke Clausen, Otis Orchards, WA (47.7 N lat.)
- Easton Fothergill, Grand Rapids, MN (47.2 N lat.)
- Jay Yelas, Lincoln City, OR (44.9 N lat.)
- KVD, Kalamazoo, MI (42.3 N lat.)
Gussy, in Kenora, ON is slightly south of Santa's workshop at 49.8 N lat. However, sounds like Grand Rapids is due south of Kenora, which might be even more evidence of Dave Mercer's bassin' smugglin' routes...😁
