Joseph W. Biel, President, Pro Image Dist., Co. | | | | | Ontario Commercial Fisherman Caught! | | | A 61 year old commercial fisherman for Thunder Bay, Ontario operating in Lake Superior pleaded guilty to four counts of false reporting and two counts of exceeding his quota of whitefish! Jarvis Sameluk was ordered to pay almost $40,000.00 in fines and his commercial fishing license was permanently revoked which was a precedent setting judgment. This was the first time Ontario has ever permanently revoked a commercial fishing license! The shear numbers in pounds of whitefish is disturbing. Sameluk exceeded his annual quota by almost 10,000 pounds! Hopefully this will send a message to anyone that is considering profiting by this type of practice and to that I say "Thank you Ontario. Fishing's Future Is Truly In Your Hands!" | | | | | Record "dog-eating" Catfish Caught! | | | A record 646 pound Mekong Catfish that measured almost 9 feet long was netted and verified by the Thai fisheries department! It was netted by local fishermen in the Chiang Khong, a remote district in northern Thailand. This will very possibly be the world's largest freshwater fish ever documented! Oh, about the dog-eating part? Apparently these giant fish are known to occasionally consume careless canines that wander too close the the river's edge! Anyone care to go swimming? According to the IGFA, which keeps records for fish caught by hook and line,the largest freshwater fish on record is a white sturgeon caught in California in 1983. It weighed 468 pounds! | | | | | | | We all know the benefits of a healthy diet and exercise. With this in mind the new trend termed "Aqua-Farming has taken hold in the giant food industry of America. The fact is wild salmon is a great source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids that is shown to support a healthy heart along with a number of other health factors. With this in mind and with good intention, you now see with an alarming presence in your favorite supermarket the term Farm Raise Salmon and Catfish. What better way to control the outcome of your product as to have complete control over anything from environmental pollutants to the food source the fish consume. Fact is, that wild salmon and the health benefits come from a direct cause of being exactly that, "Wild!" The salmon's diet consist mainly of small wild fish that have beneficial properties to them that are passed on to the the salmon. I would believe this to be true even with the bottom feeding catfish that search for true natural food. Not true in the farm raised salmon. There food base in a cheap commercial grain base food that doesn't pass these beneficial nutrients along to the salmon. Couple this with a relatively small enclosure that by-products of the food and waste, and not to mention, water runoff from contaminated surrounding land is concentrated many more times than in a wild environment and the end result is something far less beneficial then their wild counterparts? Test done on these fish actually show that they are void of any health promoting Omega-3 Fatty Acids. In fact the nice farm raised salmon's pink fillets you see at the deli counter is actually died that color. The true color of the farm raise salmon's flesh is actually a pale gray, doesn't sound very healthy to me? So what I guess I'm saying is even though the intention is honorable, the outcome falls way short of something I would call healthy? I am fortunate to the fact that I harvest my own salmon from Lake Michigan every year so there is no question what is in my freezer, but if you have to buy, please spend the extra money and make sure you are eating true wild salmon. Remember the old saying goes: "You shouldn't mess with mother nature!" | | | | | "It's not that all fishermen are liars, it's just a lot of liars fish!" and remember, "Those liars don't exaggerate, they just remember big!" | | | | | | Ingrediants:

I think we should protect such a vast and pristine part of the world so future generations can hunt, fish, and enjoy what we so often take for granted! | | | | A Closing Statement From The Editor:
