From the SI Vault comes this 1964 story about researchers experimenting with LSD on various fish species. The scientists were trying to figure out a way to remove undesirable fish from various waters without having to resort to poison.
Tests showed that when exposed to LSD most species would pop to the top of the water, swim backwards and often go into a stupor.....like you back in college. The idea was that you could treat a body of water with a few gallons of windowpane and then scoop up the trash fish while they were still on their magical mystery tour. The more desirable game fish would then remain unharmed after the drugs wore off in a day or two...except for the occasional acid flashbacks.
Researchers also thought that this technique would someday lead to the commercial chemical harvesting of fish. Bluefin tuna on an acid trip? Now that would be something to see.

Five years ago, Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, centered on New Orleans, as a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h). More than fifty levees were breached by its storm surge, causing massive flooding. Over 1,800 Gulf Coast residents lost their lives then, and damages totaled more than $80 billion - the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. Many intangible things were damaged then as well, communities were erased as their neighborhoods washed away, much of historic New Orleans was badly damaged, and frustration and anger remain towards an inadequate immediate response by the U.S. government. Collected here are images from five years ago, as well as some from the past few weeks, in New Orleans and the surrounding area.
I just watched the first part of Spike Lee's HBO Documentary, "If God Is Willing And Da Creek Don't Rise." It's a sobering reminder of the challenges that area and it's residents still face post Katrina and the Gulf Oil Spill.

If you're open to the concept, you'll want to download this audio interview on Overnight AM Radio. It's at least an hour long - download it on iTunes and listen to it in the car on your next fishin' mission.

"Overnight AM producers have been contacted by a man claiming to have found Bigfoot living in his backyard somewhere in North America ( Location: Confidential ). The evidence is substantial based on eyewitness testimony of a man whose life has been turned upside down by the creatures, a family of four; two adults and two infants, who bed down in his backyard every evening."
