Live Longer Study Fish
https://news.d.umn.edu/articles/buffalofish-arizona-2023
The big mouth buffalo is a filter feeder. Its cousins the smallmouth buffalo and the black buffalo eat “stuff” like mussels, crustaceans, plants and algae. They have throat teeth to grind food. I am pretty sure what I caught was a smallmouth buffalo in full spawn colors

Dating Survey A new survey by Fishbrain reveals that women find men, who hold fish in their dating profile pictures, more attractive than men that don’t. Other findings: - 22% of male Florida Tinder users pose with a fish - 46% of college sorority women agree that men, who hold fish are attractive - 25% of women found men holding a Great Northern Tilefish to be the most attractive, followed by the Sailfish CH-this was really cute and i wish they would do more from different areas. This one is clearly very Florida surf and inshore species heavy. What about New Hampshire or Kansas???

Hydrilla Invades Maine by Todd Corayer
https://fishwrapwriter.com/2023/10/04/hydrilla-invades-indian-lake/
Todd points out that hydrilla is a very tough highly adaptable invasive, it survives just find in a dirty fish tank with poor lighting. It only gets into waters by aquarium dumpers. It gets spread by boats if they do not follow good sanitation and Todd covers all that and more in his excellent article.
