I tagged along with some friends to do a little cat fishing this morning. The boat owner had caught some nice ones (30-40 pounders) earlier in the week. We found plenty of fish, but the biggest was only around 30 inches. The pattern was the same- find a drop off, drop baits, get 2-3 bites, then it would quit and we would move to another spot. The two biggest fish were caught back to back off one of the Wilson Bridge pilings. Most of the fish were caught about a mile south. Bait was gizzard shad. We also used cut carp but didn't get any bites.

Completely understand and the flu is to not be taken lightly.

The thing with viruses like Corona, are the ones that start effecting humans are completely unknowns to a certain extent. They need to be extra cautious and I am 100% ok with that.

I can't begin to imagine what Vanessa and her surviving daughters are feeling right now.

600,000 people die from the flu each year for perspective.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I posted it to refute the speculation above, but it was incorrect too.

Man this is terrible.

I'm a huge basketball fan and Kobe was my dude. I'm floored by this. And now I see that one of his daughters was killed too? This is hard. Probably the most sad I've been for a non-family member

La Fire and Sheriff have only said a small flame was seen prior to the crash. But NTSB will take months to release a cause.

Seem there are reports that weather may have been a factor, but it doesn't explain what the witnesses said when they heard something pop prior to the helicopter crashing.

I have personally communicated with Rick Fox via text since the news about Kobe dying came out PLEASE STOP spreading "news" unless you personally can confirm it!— Jared Greenberg (@JaredSGreenberg) January 26, 2020

Damnit. So damn young. So much more to offer.

I mean, the other media outlets made it sounded like his daughters were not with him. Apparently, he is known to fly his own helicopter, and from the sound of it, it was a mechanical failure that doomed the helicopter.

Never have been an NBA fan, but this still hurts. Can't tell you how many times I've yelled KOBE before throwing up a brick.

RIP Mamba
