Species: Blacktail Shiner (Cyprinella venusta)
Location: New Braunfels, Texas
Date: August 25, 2018
The fragile Texas Shiner came first, but after that, I caught nothing but Blacktail Shiners for the next hour. Cyprinellas are always agressive, and Blacktails are pretty ubiquitous in the south. I’ve caught them from Texas to Florida since, and their large range, willingness to bite, and relative hardiness make them great live bait. I’ve caught several big fish on Blacktails.
Unfortunately, those merits didn’t keep me from growing tired of catching them again and again. It was hot, I was sweating, and I had other plans for the evening. So after maybe a dozen Blacktails, I returned to Gray Redhorse. It was at once uneventful and frustrating. I even tried soaking worms on the bottom in the swimming hole, but the large number of large swimmers made that tough.
One of the downsides of writing a story for each lifer is that on days where I catch multiple species in the same spot, my stories are pretty quick, so here we are: at the end.

I have observed that in the world nowadays, video games are the latest popularity with children of all ages. Occasionally it may be extremely hard to drag your kids away from the activities. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are many educational video games for kids. Good post.
It is indeed my belief that mesothelioma will be the most deadly cancer. It contains unusual properties. The more I actually look at it a lot more I am persuaded it does not react like a true solid tissues cancer. In the event mesothelioma is often a rogue virus-like infection, hence there is the probability of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination to asbestos uncovered people who are vulnerable to high risk connected with developing upcoming asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this important health issue.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
