Polluted River thread

[Sportsdude]

Didn't want to hijack the nuke thread by posting mercury filled giant catfish so I made this one. Feel free to show local polluted lakes and rivers and there fish.

  Okay here is the record holding biggest catch on the mississippi river. It was caught near st. louis:

 

Look at that big thing. 124lbs. Some guy named Tim Pruitt caught it. Must have taken hours to reel that beast in. Anyway that fish is probly not great to eat because its full of mercury from the river.

  More Blue Catfish:



Biggest Catfish ever caught in Virginia. 92 lbs.

Thats a Blue Catfish in the Tennesse Aquarium in Chattanooga. Its a cool place, cool fish as well but sadly most of the fish are contaminated because they mostly dwell in rivers and not lakes.

Ahh, its Gov. Blunt the saviour of Missouri who took 15,000 people off medicare so he could balance the budget.  Those 15,000 people are mentally handicapped and now have no medical care whatsoever. He got a standing ovation for that.

By the way he's the son of the 'rat' Roy Blunt the U.S. Congressman. Doesn't that picture remind you of somebody? (Bush and Katrina?)

  Bottom line: Don't f*ck with Nature.
