At least four witnesses were there when, held underwater, the male salmon was measured at nearly 5ft (1.5m) in length and the best part of 50 inches in girth. The anglers posed for photographs using their mobile telephones and it was released into the river. Crucially, it appeared that no scales had been on hand to weigh it. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

Federal fisheries officials now say the six sea lions found dead in traps on the Columbia River apparently were not shot to death.

Craig Sexton of 1-800-Got Junk has seen all kinds of weird things in the many estate clean-ups he's done. There was a fridge of rotted cheese and rotted cans of salmon.
