Without a doubt Mr. Gates sets the record in silver bass fishing in this vicinity and there are doubts if a larger fish of any kind has been landed here. The monster fish was caught off the far side of the island opposite town, an ordinary hook and a stout line being used. Mr. Gates says the fish put up a stiff fight and that he had to go in part way to finally land him.

A test of sorts is underway in San Antonio. The Sea Life San Antonio aquarium will open at the Shops at Rivercenter downtown on Tuesday. It'll join SeaWorld San Antonio, one of the world's largest marine life theme parks, and the San Antonio Aquarium on the list of fish attractions. And let's not forget the aquatic exhibits at the San Antonio Zoo.

A blue paradise or a watery graveyard: it’s your choice - The Advertiser Posted: 30 May 2021 12:02 AM PDT Before you take the plunge and buy an expensive, cannibalistic pet fish, it's best to know the basics so you don't end up with a watery graveyard that will have the kids in tears. From platies to guppies to tetras, fish are the third most popular pet in Australia, after dogs and cats, with approximately 11 per cent of the population keeping them. It's estimated each of those households has 10 or 11 at any one time, according to the Pets in Australia report, meaning about 11.3 million pet fish live in Australian homes.
