    i have fished there and i can tell you the fishing is fantastic. I almost caught one that would have weighed at least 50 lbs. Unfortunately it got off the hook right at the edge of the water and ran away as fast as its 6 legs could carry it. and its 3rd eye was staring at me as it disappeared over the horizon.

      Hey JIMMY TATE well I had a run in with your one that got away and I'd like to report the gal has gained about 10 pounds and has 2 additional feet another set of 3 eyes and well dont know how to put it it's a new momma. Yes sir I hooked into her and asi it walked up to me asking for some pliers it managed two words and then a single sentence that made no sense until today reading your comment.
      "Wheres Jimmy" it said then noticing I could not speak and about to throw up it jumped and spun 180 degrees and moonwalking back to the water it muttered "baby needs its daddy" and the last thing I saw was 2 3rd eyes going underwater over the horizon.
      So I guess congrats are in order it's a squidbaby.

    Americans have been rightly proud of the way that their engineering has tamed their world and made it more productive. But so often there are consequences. Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing. Whether it is the overuse of water, coal, oil or the disposal of wastes there are serious consequences that accompany our activities. Yet we are unable to control anything. Political stagnation at work.

    The narrator did much to describe a bad situation, and offered nothing in the way of a solution.The same with many of the commentors. Also, no information about the septic systems used by all those houses along the water. Methinks that had more to do with the death of the man-made river than the narrator let on, and perhaps was the reason the powers-that-be decided to isolate what may have become an open septic lagoon.The Colorado River supplies drinking water to lots of people.

    • @tubitician
      @tubitician 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Methinks you are so wrong .... They did a study here, about 99%.9 percent of the poop in the water comes from birds, fish, and the farms that use poop for fertilizer by the truckloads just upstream. It California, so keep using the field to grow grain for Saudi Arabia and cotton for the rag trade, and we'll just move off the lagoon and move to a cubby hole in the city where we can walk to our mugging and our poop will disappear like magic without an ecological effect.
