Comment: What a freakin' scam. This guy got public money to spend two summers fishing for lakers on the coastal plain and justified it by suggesting he could get information not otherwise available through that research. The oldest fish was 55 years old. Climate records are readily available for that period and the "discovery" that fish grow faster in years when food is more plentiful is certainly not groundbreaking. The citizens want their money back. This guy can pay for his own fishing trips.
