I like to fish. I like to look at the old B&W pics of huge fish people have catched. Then it hit me, we no longer have the monster fish. We still catch big fish in the oceans, but not like we did. We killed off the large older animals that made the best and strongest babies.

Yup, that's exactly what happened.

I mostly fish catch and release. Especially for trophy fish. I want them to make more trophy fish. Now I do take some young dinks to eat. Which is good to thin the young a bit, however we must leave the adults alone.

Here's a very interesting fact about Greenland Sharks - They have a specific eye parasite that infects and destroys their eyes, so they're almost always blind. So 392 years of swimming blind.

That makes the sharks age that much more mind blowing.
