...even though the doors wouldn't open for another half hour. The folks who turned out on this swampy summer morning were a consumer marketer's dream: young couples with two or three children squirming like fish out of water. They were there for the bass. Largemouth bass, that is, and all things bass related, from $50,000 bass boats to $2 lures, bass rods, bass reels, bass videos, bass T shirts. Also Castrol Motor Oil, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Snickers bars, Land O Lakes butter, Chevy trucks and Fujifilm...
...Mike (Ike) Iaconelli screams his lungs dry, then busts a break-dance move, his legs spinning wildly. It's not unusual for a Phillies fan to do this in the stands. But Iaconelli is on a speedboat, and his smack talk is aimed at the pouty lips of a largemouth bass. "When I land a fish," he says, "I let loose...
...birth, one sees his echoes on half the magazine racks of America. Just as John James Audubon becomes, by dilution, the common duck stamp, so one detects the vestiges of Homer's watercolors in every outdoor-magazine cover that has a dead whitetail draped over a log or a largemouth bass, like an enraged Edward G. Robinson with fins, jumping from dark swamp water. Homer was not, of course, the first "sporting artist" in America, but he was the undisputed master of the genre, and brought to it both intense observation and a lyrical sense of identification with the landscape...
Scientists expect very big things for buckyballs, the microscopic, soccer-ball-shaped molecules of pure carbon that are vital to the promising field of nanotechnology. A new study, however, has raised concerns about their possible toxicity. A solution of buckyballs caused "severe" brain damage to young largemouth bass in a lab aquarium (it also wiped out populations of the water flea, Daphnia, an ecologically important link in the food chain). While it isn't known whether buckyballs could pose a danger to humans, the study urges further investigation of the fledgling technology's potential risks. --David Bjerklie
...PIRG disagree. After conducting their own mercury tests, they have expanded the FDA list to include tuna, sea bass, Gulf Coast oysters, marlin, halibut, pike, walleye, white (Pacific) croaker and largemouth bass. According to a joint report from the groups, "The odds are greater than one in 1,000 that consumption of a single meal of these fish will expose the fetus to a potentially hazardous amount" of mercury. The report goes on to list "safe" fish, including farm-raised trout, farm-raised catfish, shrimp, fish sticks, summer flounder, wild Pacific salmon, croaker, mid-Atlantic blue crab and haddock...
