GONE FISHING (continued): • Bet you were upset the last time you snagged and lost a $5 or $10 fishing lure. Imagine then how you might feel if you used a Million Dollar Lure from MacDaddy Fishing Lures. This 12inch (30.5 centimeters) trolling lure, designed to catch marlin, is crafted with just over 3 pounds of glimmering gold and platinum and encrusted with 100 carats of diamonds and rubies (4,753 stones to be exact). Cost? Just as the name says — a cool $1 million. • Casting call: In July 1999, Brent Olgers of Macon, Ga., established a world record for the longest period of consecutive casting. Using a Zebco 33 Classic reel, Olgers cast 6,501 times in just over 24 hours, averaging 270 casts per hour. Each cast had to be at least 45 feet (13.7 m) in length. • Best prize for a record fish happened in March 2006, during the Texas Carp Challenge. That’s when angler Al St. Cyr landed a 43.13-pound, state-record common carp in Austin’s Town Lake. That fish earned St. Cyr a $250,000 payday from the American Carp Society, the largest prize ever for a carp fisherman in the United States. • The eyes have it: Why do bass often strike a lure right after being released and not remember it? Because a bass has two memory centers, one for each eye. For example, the first time a bass hits your lure he sees it with his right eye; if he hits it again right away, more than likely he saw it with the left eye.

GONE FISHING (continued): • King salmon, or Chinook salmon, are the largest of the Alaska salmon, typically 25-50 lbs.. The world-record King salmon was caught on the Kenai River, in Alaska. It weighed 97 lbs. 4 oz. • Man’s interest in the yellowfin tuna is an ancient one. Research on the tuna’s migration, feeding and spawning practices began in the sixth century B.C. by Greek fishermen who prized their delicate flesh. • The oldest known painting of a fisherman using a rod is from Egypt and dated at about 2000 B.C. Claudius Aelian (170-235 AD), a Roman author and teacher, mentions trout fishing with artificial flies with hooks in Macedonia. Flyfishing has been around for more than 2,000 years. There is even evidence of the use of flies tied on bone hooks as early as 1400 B.C. in Egypt. • Shark fishermen beware: Sharks attack about 50 to 75 people each year worldwide, with perhaps 8 to 12 fatalities, according to data compiled in the International Shark Attack File. Although shark attacks get a lot of attention, this is far less than the number of people killed each year by elephants, bees, crocodiles, lightning or many other natural dangers. • Ice fishing is one of the only sectors of fishing that continues to grow rapidly, at a pace of 10 to 15 percent a year. • More than 90 percent of the rainbow trout sold in the United States is farm raised. u do ing “tover 40 pounds e yotrout • The largest weighed o arbrown t a caught in Arkansas on Mayni9,te1992. andhwas ”

GONE FISHING (continued): • The blue whale is the largest animal on our planet (exceeding the size of the greatest known dinosaurs) and has a heart the size of a Volkswagen. But it is not a fish; it’s a mammal. • The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world. It has a snake-like body sporting a magnificent red fin along its length, a horse-like face and blue gills, and accounts for many sea-serpent sightings. • A buck tail jig is a very simple lure that resembles a small minnow. They are often carried in survival packs, similar to the ones pilots have with them, because they are so effective. As the name implies, they are jigs tied with the hair of a buck deer’s tail. • Famous fish? Benson the carp was found floating in Bluebell Lakes near Peterborough, England. Benson was famous as England’s biggest fish and had been caught at least 60 times. • The biggest saltwater fish ever documented for an International Game Fish Association (IGFA) world fishing record was caught in 1959 by Alfred Dean of Irymple, Victoria, Australia. The white shark he snagged off Ceduna, South Australia, weighed 2,664 lbs. (1,208 kg). It was an IGFA all-tackle record and a 130 lb. (59 kg) line class record. • Catfish are the only animals that naturally have an odd number of whiskers.

There’s another study out comparing seniors with younger age groups. This time the research was on social dilemmas and conflicts, and predicting how they would turn out -- in other words, wisdom. Researchers broke participants into three age groups: 25-39, 40-59 and 60-plus. Subjects then read fake newspaper articles about different types of interpersonal conflict. Then they were asked questions like, “What do you think will happen next?” Later, the participants were called back for more tests. This time they read letters from an advice columnist and were asked questions such as, “What do you think should be done?” The results were broken into wisdomrelated categories, such as searching for compromise, recognizing change, taking into account the perspective of others and searching for a resolution. The researchers worked blind when they tabulated the results: They didn’t know the subject’s age group. So what did this study show? It proves what we already knew, that we seniors are able to take information we’ve accumulated over a lifetime and make wise decisions, especially when it comes to conflicts. We’re better able than our younger counterparts to compromise, admit it when we just don’t know something, take into consideration the viewpoints of others and make accurate predictions about how situations will turn out. So, what do we do with our wisdom, now that it’s been acknowledged? A few ideas come to mind: • Act as mediators for divorcing couples or squabbling families. • Work with groups of schoolchildren, the younger the better, on understanding the viewpoint of others. • Work as advisers to young couples with unhealthy spending patterns, or in culture conflict resolution in companies. While some of us already work in roles such as these, what we really need now is for more “wisdom” positions to be developed.

JAMES BOND James Bond, the debonair secret agent created by writer Ian Fleming, has remained popular for decades. The 23 (so far) movies featuring the character have garnered a total box office gross of over $4.7 billion.

• On May 8, 1963, the first Bond movie, “Dr. No,” was released. It featured a then relatively unknown Scottish actor, Sean Connery, as 007. The movie was an immediate hit, and Connery went on to superstardom. Connery made six more Bond films after that initial portrayal. • Sean Connery wasn’t supposed to be the first James Bond. Roger Moore was Ian Fleming’s original choice to play the super spy. • Previous attempts to adapt the James Bond novels resulted in a 1954 television episode of “Climax Mystery Theatre,” based on the first novel, “Casino Royale.” The short-lived TV Bond starred American actor Barry Nelson as “Jimmy Bond.” • “You Only Live Twice” is the very first James Bond film to jettison the plot premise of the Fleming source material. Like the book, the movie sets the plot entirely in Japan, uses Blofeld as the main villain and features the Bond girl, Kissy Suzuki. The plot however, was entirely the screenwriter’s imagination. • From Jaws to Bond? In the late 1970s, Steven Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond film, but was rejected since he wanted a percentage of the profits, which directors of Bond films usually do not get. • The reason James Bond always wants his vodka martinis shaken, not stirred, is that shaking makes the drink colder in less time. It also puts more air into the mixture making the flavor stronger. • The real James Bond was an ornithologist (a person who studies and classifies birds) from Jamaica who was most famous for his book, “The Birds of the West Indies.” In exchange for the use of his name, ornithologist James Bond used Fleming’s name to classify a rare species of Jamaican birds. • “From Russia With Love” was made into a movie only because it was President John F. Kennedy’s favorite book. • Christopher Lee, who played the evil Scaramanga in “The Man With The Golden Gun,” was Ian Fleming’s cousin. • Amazing but true: Burt Reynolds and Adam West were the first choices to take Sean Connery’s place as James Bond. • George Lazenby, who succeeded Sean Connery as James Bond, only appeared in one film as 007. Even before the release of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969), Lazenby announced he would not reprise the role. After Lazenby, Roger Moore took over. He played Bond for 12 years. • Six actors have played Bond through the years: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. • It is only with the advent of the Craig era that film directors outside of Great Britain have been used for Bond movies. In fact, all were from the Commonwealth until 2008’s “Quantum of Solace,” which is the first Bond film by a nonUnited Kingdom director. That director, Marc Foster, is German-Swiss.

• It was Pulitzer Prize-winning American author John Steinbeck, best known for “The Grapes of Wrath” and “Of Mice and Men,” who made the following sage observation: “The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.” • If you’re planning a summer trip to Maine, you won’t want to miss the stunning tourist attraction to be found on Peaks Island. There you’ll find an entire museum devoted to housing a rather extensive collection of umbrella covers. • If you’ve never heard of the quagga, don’t blame yourself. The creature, once found on the plains of Africa, has been extinct since 1883. An odd-looking creature, this subspecies of zebra was once thought to be half-zebra, half horse. Though the front part of its body had the zebra’s stripes, those stripes faded out mid-body and the rest of the equine looked remarkably like a common horse.

The motorist graciously accepted. That night he had a wonderful dinner of fish and chips. He decided to compliment the chef. Entering the kitchen, he*asked the cook, “Are you the fish friar?” No, came the reply. “I’m the chip monk.”

• We all know that the day after Thanksgiving is commonly known as Black Friday, thanks to all the crowds seeking out deals on Christmas gifts, but have you ever wondered how it got that name? It seems that the moniker originated back in 1965 when the Philadelphia police department came up with the name after having to deal with the traffic jams and shopping crowds. *** Thought for the Day: “Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.” -- Frank Zappa
