Last night it occurred to me that fish size records may in fact also be fish longevity records.
We all acknowledge that the oldest fish is the biggest fish, right?
I confirmed today that fish never stop growing.
So fish size records are also defacto fish longevity records, or may be.
The size, longevity and fertility of any organism varies directly with that of its Etheric environment.
The "animals are biological machines that grow to pre-programmed sizes based on their genetic structure" thesis is coming rapidly undone.
Like, this is from way back in 1970:
1970
1. Blue catfish, rod and reel - the Nebraska rod and reel state record blue catfish from 1970 weighed 100 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 73% larger than the previous 58-pound record holder from 1954.
The Nebraska rod and reel state record blue catfish from 1970 weighed 100 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 32.8% larger than the previous 67-pound, 8-ounce record holder from 1963.
Blue catfish, hook and line - the Nebraska hook and line state record blue catfish from 1963 weighed 67 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 16.3% larger than the previous 58-pound record holder from 1954. The author did not mention a previous record holder.
The Nebraska hook and line state record blue catfish increased in size by 16.3% from 1954 to 1963, and then by 32.8% from 1963 to 1970.
The growth rate has basically doubled, going forward in time. That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.
Just the catfish almost doubling in size in less than twenty years shouldn't be scientifically possible, if animals are biological machines that grow to pre-programmed sizes based upon their genetic structure.
I'm breaking down Nebraska's fish records, going back to the beginning.

As of 1962, the growth rate of the Nebraska hook and line state record smallmouth bass is decreasing, going forward in time.
Then the smallmouth bass increased in size by 84% from 1962 to 2000. That's the largest increase in the data set. That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.

2009
Shortnose gar, rod and reel, state and world record - a 100% increase from some obfuscated date to 2009
The Nebraska rod and reel record for shortnose gar had been open in 2007.

Daryl said there were three new fish records certified in Nebaska in 2010. I documented four:
White sucker, hook and line - a 56.6% increase in size from 2006 to 2010
European rudd, hook and line - a 12.8% increase in size from some obfuscated date to 2010
Common carp, surface spearfishing - a 1% increase in size from 2005 to 2010

2011
Nebraska certified 23 fish as state records in 2011.
Paddlefish, hook and line - the Nebraska hook and line state record paddlefish increased in size by 29% from 1961 to 1998, and by 15.8% from 1998 to 2011.
As of 2011, the growth rate of the Nebraska hook and line state record paddlefish was decreasing, going forward in time.
Goldfish, rod and reel - a 21.8% increase in size from 2003 to 2011
Goldfish, bowfishing - a 350% increase in size from 2006 to 2011

The growth rate of the Nebraska surface spearfishing common carp is increasing exponentially, going forward in time. That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.
2012
Daryl claimed "Nebraska had 14 fish certified as state records in 2012". I counted 16.
Of those 16, I was able to document current and previous records on 8:
Common carp, spearfishing - a 42.4% increase in size from 2005 to
2012
Hybrid sunfish, spearfishing - a 33% increase in size from 1997 to 2012
Grass carp, underwater spearfishing - a 695% increase in size from 2004 to 2012
River carpsucker, spearfishing - a 4.2% increase in size from 2007 to 2012

Shortnose gar, hook and line - a 6.3% increase in size from some obfuscated date to 2012
Hybrid striped bass, hook and line - a 41.3% increase in size from 1973 to 2012
2013
In February 2013, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission's Daryl Bauer said "the records for most species are well-established and relatively hard to exceed".
I was able to document 13 new Nebraska state fishing records set in 2013.
Longnose gar, hook and line - a 16% increase in size from 1991 to 2013
European rudd, hook and line - a 16% increase in size from 2010 to 2013
Tiger trout, hook and line - a 100% increase in size from 2006 to 2013
Shortnose gar, bowfishing - a 25% increase in size from 2001 to 2013
Smallmouth buffalo, underwater spearfishing - a 79% increase in size from 1982 to 2013
Common carp, underwater spearfishing - an 8% increase in size from 2003 to 2013
Smallmouth bass, bowfishing - a 9.4% increase in size from 2004 to 2013
In only one of these (examples) was I able to document the record further into the past. In that case, the Nebraska hook and line state record European rudd from 2013 was 16% larger than the previous
record holder from 2010. That 16% increase in size is a larger increase than the 12.8% increase in size seen in the European rudd in Nebraska from some previously obfuscated date to 2010. The growth rate of the European rudd in Nebraska is increasing, going
forward in time. That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.
2014
There were three Nebraska state fish records set in 2014, two in bowfishing and one in rod and reel.
Blue sucker, bowfishing - a 21.2% increase in size from 2006 to 2014
Black buffalo, bowfishing - a 23.3% increase in size from some obfuscated date to 2014
2015
eight new state record fish certified in 2015
We had more activity in the rod & reel state record category in 2015 than for any of the other gears.
Paddlefish, hook and line - the Nebraska hook and line state record paddlefish
increased in size by 29% from 1961 to 1998, and by 15.8% from 1998 to 2011, and by 5% from 2011 to 2015.
The Nebraska hook and line state record paddlefish from 2015 weighed 113 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 57% larger than a previous 72-pound record holder from 1961.
That's a baseline average annual increase in size of 1.05% over those 54 years. The average from 1961 to 1998 was .78% per year over those 37 years.
The average from 1998 to 2011 was 1.21% per year over those 13 years. The average from 2011 to 2015 was 1.25% per year over those four years.
The growth rate from 1998 to 2011 is 15.2% higher than that seen from 1968 to 1998. And the growth rate
from 2011 to 2015 is 3.3% higher than that seen from 1998 to 2011.
The highest growth rate is the most recent in the data set, from 2011 to 2015.
Longnose gar, hook and line - a 16% increase in size from 1991 to 2015
Hybrid sunfish/green sunfish X bluegill hybrid, bowfishing - a 16.6% increase in size from 1997 to 2015
Triploid crappie, rod and reel - a 17.9% increase from January 2015 to April 2015
Black buffalo, surface spearfishing - Surface spearfishing black buffalo was open in 2007. It is a 36%
increase in size over the current Nebraska state spearfishing record for black buffalo, set in 1982.
Tiger trout, rod and reel - a 150% increase in size from 2006 to 2015
Grass carp, bowfishing - a 28.4% increase in size from 2007 to 2015, with a 17.4% increase from 2010 to
2015, and a 9.3% increase from 2007 to 2010.
The growth rate of the Nebraska bowfishing state record grass carp has almost doubled,
going forward in time. That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.
2016
Shortnose gar, bowfishing - a 5% increase in size from 2013 to 2016, on top of a 25% increase in size from 2001 to 2013.
The Nebraska bowfishing state record shortnose gar from 2016 weighed 9 pounds, 14 ounces, and was 32%
larger than a previous 7-pound, 8-ounce record holder from 2001.
2017
Triploid crappie, rod and reel - a 13% increase in size from April 2015 to 2017, and a 33% increase in size from January 2015 and 2017
Bigmouth buffalo, bowfishing - a 6.3% increase in size from 1993 to 2017
2018
1. Bigmouth buffalo, underwater spearfishing - a 19.6% increase in size from 2005 to 2018
2. River carpsucker, spearfishing - a 96% increase in size
from 2012 to 2018
In May 2012, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission's Daryl Bauer said that the odds were between "slim and none" that the Nebraska river carpsucker state record would
be broken, regardless of method.
In February 2013, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission's Daryl Bauer said "the records for most species are well-established and relatively hard to exceed".
In February 2013, Daryl said that a new Nebraska spearfishing river carpsucker state record had been set in May 2012, that fish weighing 6 pounds, 3 ounces and 4.2% larger than
the previous 5-pound, 15-ounce record holder from 2007.
The current Nebraska spearfishing state record river carpsucker, from 2018, weighed 12 pounds, 2 ounces, and was 96% larger than the previous 6-pound, 3-ounce record holder from
May, 2012.
The Nebraska spearfishing state record river carpsucker increased in size by 104% from 2007 to 2018. It doubled in size.
The growth rate of the Nebraska spearfishing state record river carpsucker from 2012 to 2018 is exponentially higher than that seen from
2007 to 2012.
That's not supposed to be scientifically possible.
