Lake Ontario - 26 lb. Lake Trout

2012-05-18T19:51:00Z

Chanele has just earned her status as an honorary “Fish Guy” by catching a 26 lb. Lake Trout. Who knew that such great catches could be had in Lake Ontario?! It’s a beauty and it was released to live another day. If you want to scoop this old trout for yourself, you’ll have to go deep. Chanele down-rigged to 80’ and it swam with her line for 280’ before it got reeled in. Nice one kiddo! Great catch!

Ryan (Chanele’s fiancé) earned himself an honorary “Fish Guy” status too, with this 15 lb. Lake Trout – also caught on the same day in Lake Ontario. Way to go Ry... Great Catch!

Chanele and Ryan – Honorary “Fish Guys” and both are
Production Assistants for the upcoming show CELEBRITY FISH TALES

Frankenfish is on the “No Release” list

2012-05-18T19:39:00Z

Here’s one fish that you don’t have to throw back when you catch it. In fact, authorities are asking that you PLEASE DO NOT RELEASE if this monster is on your line. It’s a foreign species that is creating havoc in North American eco-systems and it may now be in Canada. It walks on land and eats everything in it’s sight. A larger Frankenfish might even eat a duckling! Click the image below to read more and see the enlarged version of this photo…

Wherein we learn about the "ampullae of Lorenzini" - updated with amazing video

2011-10-22T09:55:00Z

YouTube link.

Addendum to the original post (below). A tip of the hat to expatQLD, who after reading the post below searched YouTube and sent me a link to the video showing this lady at work. As it started I thought I was watching computer graphics because of the unbelievable abundance of sea life; then when I saw her rubbing the snout of the shark I realized this was Cristina Zenato at work.

By all means, click the fullscreen icon [bottom far right corner] to get full enjoyment of this video !!

From the DailyMail:

...She induces the 'tonic' state in the shark using a little-known technique of rubbing the ampullae of Lorenzini - the name given to hundreds of jelly-filled pores around the animal's nose and mouth... The pores act as electroreceptors detecting prey moving in the electromagnetic field around the shark - but also for some reason rubbing them turns 'Jaws' into a sleeping baby.

Ms Zenato uses her ability to put the sharks in a sleepy state to educate other divers, remove parasites and even take out fishing hooks caught in their mouths.

Mr Meier, a commercial photographer who specialises in underwater, nature and travel, said he hoped to raise awareness of the plight of sharks.He said: 'We kill millions of sharks every year, with the majority of those having their fins cut off while still alive and then thrown back into the water to die a slow, agonising death.

I remember reading reports years ago of surfers or swimmers defending themselves from sharks by hitting the shark on the nose; it was said to be an effective deterrant. Perhaps this report offers a biologic basis for that observation.

Orca imitates an outboard motor

I once had a 7.5-horse Evinrude that sounded like this. The unanswerable question is whether he is trying to communicate, or complaining about anthropogenic noise pollution in his world.

Via Nothing To Do With Arbroath.

Addendum - a hat tip to Lexacq, who points out that this particular orca was well known:

Luna was abandoned by his pod, and bounded with boats instead in Nootka Sound, BC. This was dangerous, and tragically, led to his death by a boat.

Luna's biography is detailed at Wikipedia.
