Drug smugglers use fishing kayaks to hide 183 kilos of meth.

 "Australian police seized about $162 million worth of methamphetamine hidden inside kayaks shipped from China, officials said Wednesday," said an article on MSN.com.

"Five people were arrested in Sydney on Tuesday after customs officials discovered 183 kilograms of meth last week while inspecting a shipment of kayaks from China, the Australian Federal Police said.

Nineteen of 27 kayaks in the shipment had bags of meth stuffed inside the watertight areas of the boats, said Tim Fitzgerald, regional director for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.

Four of the five people arrested are from Taiwan, and one is from Sydney. Two were charged with attempting to import drugs, and the others were charged with possessing a commercial quantity of drugs. They each face a maximum of life in prison if convicted.

Australian officials have made a series of major drug busts in recent months. In October, police seized about AU$200 million worth of meth hidden in the tires of a truck shipped from China."

Ron Swanson vs. Dwight Schrute.



They may be fictional characters, but that doesn’t make the decision any less important. Which one would you rather spend the day kayak fishing with, Ron Swanson or Dwight Schrute? The first is a moustached, Parks Deparment Director; the second is a paper salesman and beet farmer. Both are prepared to survive any situation, from ex-wives to Scranton Stranglers. But how do they stack up as fisherman? 

Ron Swanson

Swanson is the type of man’s man who builds his own canoe AND paddle before he goes out fishing. He would catch a fish before you even put a line in the water and then question your masculinity. He would critique your improper casting skills, but it would make you a better fisherman. You could even pick up moustache growing advice at the same time.

Swanson would also pack plenty of food for the both of you - all of it red meat. Since Swanson doesn’t eat fish, “For sport only, fish meat is practically a vegetable" you'd get to keep the catch.





Dwight Schrute

Schrute is known for his knowledge in martial arts, beet farming, Battlestar Galactica and bears. He has a rather large collection of knives, swords and other interesting weapons "strategically placed" throughout the office at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. He can build a fire and feed himself in the woods without breaking a sweat. He probably learned how to fish while still in diapers while listening to German nursery rhymes. 

If you brought Schrute along and he liked you, he would tie your knots for you, help you land that trophy and take the blame if you lost a fish. Unless, of course, you're like Jim, in which case, he would throw your rod in the water, dump out your fishing lures and punch a hole in your kayak to teach you disaster preparedness.

The record for inland king salmon apparently was shattered Tuesday at Trinity Lake when Sally Nachreiner of Redding landed a 20.95 king while trolling near the dam.

The fish was weighed on a certified scale at Top’s Supermarket in Weaverville and confirmed by California Department of Fish & Wildlife biologist Monte Currier. Paperwork has been completed and the record is pending.

The record category for inland king salmon was created by the CDFW in 2011. Fishing guide Mike Elster caught the first record fish on Sept. 6, 2011. He broke the record twice and has the current record of 11.3 pounds, caught Aug. 13, 2012.

The pending new record salmon was measured at 35-1/8 inches long and 22-3/4 inches around. It was brought to the Lewiston Mini-Mart to be weighed but bottomed out the 15 pound scale. It was then brought to the butcher shop at Top’s.

Currier said scale samples will be taken so the age of the fish can be determined. Currier said little is known about how long inland salmon live. Scale samples from Elster’s previous record determined that fish was nearly four years old.
