From 1988 to 2011, brown bullhead catfish in Washington state increased in size by 1,190% - with bonus out-of-nowhere catfish manifestations in Washington in 2013 and 2020

“Those who are capable of tyranny are capable of perjury to sustain it.”

― Lysander Spooner

THE DATA

from 1988 to 1993, the size of the Washington state record brown bullhead catfish increased by 78%, or nearly doubled , from 2.17 pounds to 3.87 pounds.

That’s an average annual increase in size of 15.6% over each of those five years.

From 1988 to 2011, the largest brown bullhead catfish ever caught in the state of Washington increased in size by 1,190%, from 2.17 pounds to 28.1 pounds. 74% of that increase took place from 2000 to 2011.

That’s a baseline long-term average annual increase in size of 51.7% per year over each of those 23 years.

Wait, what? The brown bullhead catfish in Washington state is half-again as large, every single year, for two decades? That’s not scientifically possible, at least according to the rapidly-collapsing false Orthodoxy which holds that

The first data in the set (15.6% average annual increase in size) from 1998 to 1993, is 70% below the 51.7% baseline from 1988 to 2011. That’s not scientifically possible. The first data in the set should be the above the baseline, not below it. That is, at least according to the rapidly-collapsing false Orthodox which holds that organisms grown in ever-smaller increments to a genetically-determined maximum size.

The growth rate of the brown bullhead catfish in Washington is increasing exponentially, going forward in time, because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

From 1993 to 1997, the brown bullhead catfish in Washington state increased in size by 72%, from 3.87 pounds to 6.67 pounds.

That’s an average annual increase in size of 18% per year over each of those four years.

The 18% average annual increase in size of the brown bullhead catfish in Washington state from 1993 to 1997 is 15% greater than the 15.6% average annual increase in size documented in the species there from 1988 to 1993.

The growth rate of the brown bullhead catfish in Washington is increasing, going forward in time, because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

From 1995 to 2014, the Florida state record brown bullhead catfish increased in size by 34% , from 5.25 pounds to 7.02 pounds.

From 1997 to 2000, the brown bullhead catfish in the state of Washington increased in size by 65.5%, from 6.67 pounds to 11.04 pounds.

That’s an average annual increase in size of 21.8% per year over each of those three years.

The 21.8% average annual increase in size of the brown bullhead catfish in the state of Washington from 1997 to 2000 is 21% greater than the 18% average annual increase documented in the species there from 1993 to 1997.

The 21% increase in growth rate documented in the brown bullhead catfish in Washington state from 1997 to 2000 versus 1993 to 1997 is 40% greater than the 15% increase in growth rate documented in the species there from 1993 to 1997, versus 1988 to 1993.

The growth rate of the brown bullhead catfish in Washington is increasing exponentially, going forward in time, because the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

In 1997, the folks in charge in Washington denied the state record to the (wait for it) solid-brown brown bullhead catfish with zero spots and a heart-shaped tail, and said, with a straight face, that the fish was, rather, a fork-tailed, spotted, light-colored channel catfish. They’re using conscious deception while maintaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.

They’re desperate to keep you from recognizing that the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

From 2000 to 2011, the largest brown bullhead catfish ever caught in the state of Washington increased in size by 153%, or well more than doubled in size, from 11.04 pounds to 28.1 pounds.

The 153% increase in size of the brown trout in Washington state from 2000 to 2011 is 133% greater, or well more than doublethe 65.5% average annual increase in size of the species there from 1997 to 2000.

In 2011, just as they had in 1997, the folks in charge in Washington denied the state record to the (wait for it) solid-brown brown bullhead catfish with zero spots and a heart-shaped tail, and said with a straight face that the fish was, rather, a fork-tailed, spotted, light-colored channel catfish.

They’re using conscious deception while maintaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.
They’re desperate to keep you from recognizing that the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.

Since we don’t have a record prior to 1988, we can infer that the brown bullhead catfish first manifested in the state in the late 1980s.

The yellow bullhead catfish suddenly appeared without explanation in Washington state in 2013.

The black bullhead catfish suddenly appeared without explanation in Washington state in 2020.

BONUS OUT-OF-NOWHERE CATFISH MANIFESTATIONS IN WASHINGTON STATE IN 2019 AND 2020:

To prove the theorem, we’re going to review this bonus information, in real time:

In August 1991, Idaho’s Lewiston Tribune said “Washington State Records by Species of Fish”, and went on to say

"Black bullh No record

Yellow bullh No record

Blue catfish 17 lb. 12 oz.

R Hawthrne Columbia River 1975
Chnl catfish 32 lb. 8 oz.

Tom Peterman, Aspen Lake, 1987"

Thus in 1988, we’ve got a 2.17pound brown bullhead catfish. In 1991, we’ve got zero black or yellow catfish in Washington, and we’ve got a 17 lb., 12 ounce blue catfish, from some undetermined date.

Now let’s do an Internet search and see if any yellow bullhead catfish or any black bullhead catfish have appeared in the state of Washington since 1991:

wdfw.wa.gov says “Yellow bullhead (Ameiurus natalis) - 2.06 lbs Monica Beckley Potholes Reservoir, Grant County September 8, 2013”

In January 2014, Spokane, Washington’s Spokesman-Review said “Record bullhead confirmed from Potholes Reservoir”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Rich Landers omitted the words “yellow” and “catfish” from “yellow bullhead catfish”, and also omitted the word Washington, and then also omitted the word “state” from “state record”, all to make the subject virtually unsearchable. Those are, laboriously, all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

Despite the fact that he loves him some fish like reporting on them is, in fact, his job, Wilderness Blog author Rich Lerner makes no comment upon the sudden, unexplained appearance of a brand new species of fish in a land-locked reservoir, beyond widening his eyes to simulate honesty and saying “The number of record-setting fish caught in Washington during 2013 just increased last week as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed a new bullhead record.”

Then he prints this, in smaller type, to call it into question: yellow bullhead, 2.06 pounds, measuring 14.5 inches long and 10 inches in girth, caught Sept. 8, 2013, by Monica Beckley of Roy, Wash., in Potholes Reservoir.

Here’s Rich Landers’ picture, wearing a Satanic green and purple shirt:

(Rich Landers’ picture, wearing a Satanic green and purple shirt, with the frame focused on his left eye, the “Eye of Horus”)

Can you see how the photograph is off-center, so that Rich’s left eye is at the center of the image? That’s because the left eye is the “Eye of Horus”, and Rich is a follower of the Left Hand path. He figured the rubes would never notice.

Of Potholes Reservoir, wdfw.wa.gov says "Species you might catch:

Black crappie

Bluegill

Common carp

Lake whitefish

Largemouth bass

Rainbow trout

Smallmouth bass

Walleye

Yellow perch"

Did you notice how, despite the fact that they loves them some fish like it’s their taxpayer-funded, pensioned jobs, the Washington Fish Feds tellingly omitted mention of the yellow bullhead catfish in Portholes Reservoir, despite the fact that the Washington state record for the species was established there almost a decade ago? That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as a “News Blackout”.

Here, with the yellow bullhead catfish, we see a weight of 2.06 pounds, which is very similar to the 2.71 pounds of the brown bullhead catfish when it winked into existence in Washington state in 1988.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the black bullhead catfish, which I will remind the reader did not exist in the state of Washington in 1991.

Well, will you look at that: wdfw.wa.gov says “Black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) - 1.81 lbs Cleon Conrad Lake Cassidy, Snohomish September 4, 2020”.

Awesomely, author and fish expert Rich Landers, who writes a Wilderness Blog for Spokane, Washington’s Spokesman-Review somehow didn’t think it worthwhile to write an article about the sudden appearance of yet another new species of catfish in Washington state.

The 1.81 pound size of the black bullhead catfish when it first manifested in Washington state in 2020 is very close to the 2.06-pound yellow bullhead catfish which suddenly appeared in the state in 2013, and also to the 2.71-pound brown bullhead catfish which first manifested in Washington in 1988, and has since increased in size by 1,190%, from 2.71 pounds to 28.1 pounds.

Is this the most fun you can have with your coincidentally Satanic purple and green clothes on, or what?

THE ARTICLES

In August 1991, Idaho’s Lewiston Tribune said “Washington State Records by Species of Fish”, and went on to say “Brwn bullh 2.17 lb.
James E. Ivey, Lacamas Lake 1988”.

Wow, even pre-Internet, the convention is in place to abbreviate and blur our the name of the fish.

In July 1997, Spokane, Washington’s Spokesman Review said “Expert’s Identification Denies Angler A Record”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Fenton Roskelley carefully omits any mention of geography, or species, and eliminates “state” and “world” from “record” to make the subject completely unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

The article goes on to say “When Marvin Lodge showed friends and a sporting goods dealer a catfish he had caught while dunking a worm below the Spokane River’s Upriver Dam last week, they were convinced that he had caught a new state record brown bullhead catfish. The fish, they said, might be a new world record for the species.”

Where, under the false guise of humor and familiarity, “while dunking a worm” queasily implies that Marvin Lodge is not a skilled or experienced fisherman.

The article continues: “Fortunately, Lodge, a longtime catfish angler, had the forethought to put his catfish in a cooler partially filled with water. The fish was still in good shape. Larry Bryant, owner of the Water Hole Sports Shop on East Francis, persuadedLodge to have the fish weighed on a certified scale, with witnesses observing and signing a paper. He was certain that the fish was a brown bullhead catfish.”

The first sentence half wipes the fingerprints off the gun of “while dunking a worm”.

Where author Fenton Roskelly walked great shape back to merely “good”. Then he implies that Marvin Lodge, the main who caught the fish, was hesitant about getting it certified, despite the fact that it was over twice as large as any other ever seen in all the history of brown catfishing in all the world.

People like Fenton call this style of writing “tradecraft”.

The hit-piece continues: “Lodge and friends, each of whom insisted that he had caught hundreds, even thousands, of catfish in various lakes and streams throughout the Inland Northwest and therefore was an expert on catfish, took the 25-inch-long catfish to a nearby grocery store and weighed and measured it. They had a couple of people signing a paper saying they witnessed the weighing. The friends even photographed Lodge holding the fish.”

The Black magic spell that is spun is of a torch-carrying brown catfish mob, all with wildly-self-inflated impressions of their own brown catfish knowledge.

Marvin Lodge’s friends photographed the new world record holder. Author Fenton Roskelly said “The friends even photographed Lodge holding the fish.”

Where “holding the fish” gives is a slightly perverted, creepy air.

Author Fenton Roskelly soldiers on: “Bryant put the catfish in another cooler in which he kept “waterdogs,” salamanders that bass fishermen often use. The catfish promptly dined on some of the waterdogs.”

This opens its eyes wide to simulate honesty and infers that Marvin Lodge fattened up the suddenly-twice-as-large-as-any-in-history brown catfish.

As an aside, we now know that the record holder is alive, eating, and doing great, not “still in good shape”, which half-implies that it had expired.

The article continues: “To understand why so many fishermen were excited over the catch, you should know that the state record for a brown bullhead catfish is 3.87 pounds. Lodge’s catfish weighed 6.67 pounds. The world record is only a few ounces more than 6 pounds.”

Despite the fact that he loves him some fish like writing about them is, in fact, his job, Fenton still managed to omit who set the previous record, or when, or where. Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

So, I had to look up another article. In 2011, John E. Moore’s “A Fisherman’s Guide to Selected Lakes of Southeast Washington” said “Sprague Lake produced a state record Brown Bullhead Catfish of 3.87 pounds on October 26, 1993.”

Then I had to do the math to learn that, from 1988 to 1993, the Washington state record brown bullhead catfish increased in size by 78%, or nearly doubled in size, from 2.17 pounds to 3.87 pounds.

Slipshod reporting or pathological lying, you make the call! In any case, given the fact that this is a scientific article I’m writing, we’re going to have to reject Mr. Roskelly’s heresay and go with "from 1991 to 1997, the largest brown bullhead catfish ever caught in the state of Washington increased in size by 207%, or more than tripled in size, from 2.17 pounds to 6.67 pounds.

The of the Washington state record brown bullhead catfish from 1X to Y Now we have greater insight as to why everyone in Washington was so desperate to deny the record.

But back to Fenton Roskelly’s hit-piece. In yeomanlike fashion, Fenton Roskelly obscured the specific weight of the world record holder with “only a few ounces more”.

To this writing, I don’t have any more information on that subject.

A separate article on wdfa.wa.gov says “Brown Bullhead 11.04 lbs Unnamed Lake, Snohomish County Justin E. Andrews Jun 3, 2000”.

Thus, in their own official records, from 1988 to 2000, the Washington state record brown bullhead catfish increased in size by 408%, or more than quintupled in size, from 2.17 pounds to 11.04 pounds.

Lodge’s catfish fit brown bullhead descriptions in a couple of books, including “Freshwater Game Fish of North America,” and “Comprehensive Guide to Western Gamefish.” The tail of Lodge’s fish was not deeply forked like those of the channel catfish. There were no spots on the fish; nearly all channel cats have spots.

“The tail was slightly heart-shaped,” Lodge said. “Although the fish has been handled numerous times and has taken a beating in the cooler, the tail is the same shape as when I caught it.

As an aside, I’d note that fishingduo.com says “As the only catfish species in Washington with a forked tail, channel catfish are easy to distinguish if size alone doesn’t convince you.”

The folks in charge are not your friends, and are lying to you about basically everything, including the brown bullhead catfish.

Fenton Roskelly’s hit-piece staggers on:

The bottom, rear (anal) fin has 25 spines. I counted them several times. I think the channel catfish has fewer.” As far as all of Lodge’s friends knew, no one ever had caught a channel catfish in the Spokane River. The river is full of brown bullheads, but not channel catfish.

Lodge and friends took his catfish to the Fish and Wildlife Department office on North Division to have it positively identified.

Ray Duff, Spokane regional fisheries manager for the Fish and Wildlife Department, identified Lodge’s fish as a channel catfish, despite the fact it didn’t have a deeply forked tail and no spots on its sides. If any fisheries biologist in Eastern Washington is an authority on catfish, Duff is the one. He has been fisheries manager for both the Spokane region and the Columbia Basin for many years."

He’s a bald-facedly lying Illuminist shill being quoted in a mainstream news article. And his testimony isn’t standing up very well under cross-examination.

Here’s Fenton Rosskelly’s picture:

Any lingering Coincidence theorists lingering in the readership huffing and puffing that he couldn’t, and that we wouldn’t, might want to stop reading immediately.

In that, in November 2011, Spokane, Washington’s Spokesman Review said “Pending brown bullhead record nixed: fish IDed as channel cat”.

Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Rich Landers, who writes an Outdoor Blog for the Spokesman Review, carefully omits any mention of geography, and eliminates “state” and “world” from “record” to make the subject completely unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

The article continues with the snide “Nice try. Even Washington fish biologists couldn’t tell just by looking. But they were skeptical, so they did some tests…”

Wait, what? We learned previous that, yes, you can easily tell a brown bullhead catfish from a channel catfish just by looking, namely for it’s signature brown color, lack of spots, heart shaped tail and many-spined anal fin. While the channel cat has an unmistakable forked tail, is spotted, and light in color.

Since this is the Middle Ages, you’ll unquestioningly take the word of the wide-eyed, grinning Fish Fed in Washington, who is using conscious deception while maintaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.

Did you see how author Rich Landers said “did some tests”, which is general? It implies that the did more than one. Why are multiple tests required to determine a fish’s species? What sort of tests are they? How many were done? What were the specific results of those tests?

Rich’s hit-piece staggers on:

"The fish was unofficially weighed at 28.1 pounds, said Joe Hymer, Washington Fish and Wildlife Department fisheries biologist in Vancouver. But today Hymer reported: “Upon further review……genetic sampling determined this fish to be a channel catfish. While a nice size fish, the state record channel catfish weighed 36.20 pounds, caught by Ross Kincaid in I-82 Pond #6 of Yakima County on Sept,. 6, 1999.”

Wait, what? The claim is that the fish was "unofficially weighed" - yet we know that it was formally submitted for the record, and the folks officially considering that submission had complex genetic testing performed upon it, were told. And, yet, no one could manage to put it on a scale? That, my friends, is evidence enough that there is, indeed, a Great Big Conspiracy.

But, since this is the Middle Ages, I have to press on.

The Spokesman-Reviews Rich Landers said "Nice try . Even Washington fish biologistscouldn’t tell just by looking ."Here’s a picture of the 2011 fish:

A pending Washington record brown bullhead caught in September 2011. (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife)

(The solid-brown, spot-free, heart-shaped-tail’ed brown bullhead catfish that the Fish Feds in Washington state fraudulently called a light-colored, spotted, fork-tailed channel catfish in 2011)

Now let’s compare it to a picture of a channel catfish:

[image]

(The light-colored, spotted channel catfish, with its “easy to distinguish” forked tail)

The brown bullhead catfish is, wait for it, brown. While the channel catfish is light-colored, and covered with spots (unlike the bullhead catfish, which has no spots).

Just as in the case of Marvin Lodge’s 1997 record holder, the Fish Feds in Washington threw out the 2011 record holder by falsely claiming that it was a channel catfish, in an attempt to defray insight and awareness into the quantum increase in size of the brown bullhead catfish in Washington.

Yet, even with their own, published records, we see a species more than quintupling in size from 1988 to 2000.

That’s not supposed to be scientifically possible, at least according to the rapidly-collapsing, false Orthodoxy which holds that organisms increase in ever-smaller increments to a genetically-determined maximum size.

They’re desperate to keep you from recognizing that the size, fertility, longevity and very existence of any organism vary directly with the health of its etheric environment.

The article continues: “The current state record bullhead is 11.04 pounds caught in an unnamed lake in Snohomish County in 2000. Typical size bullheads would be a mere appetizer for this lunker.”

Where “would be a mere appetizer” is general. can you see how, with sleight-of-hand, Rich Landers distracts you with the fish-gobbling-fish excitement of “would be a mere appetizer” and then quickly compares the 2000 record holder to “typical size bullheads”. What is by far the largest brown bullhead catfish in the history of fishing in the state of Washington is walked back to “this lunker”, and shoved down the memory hole.

People like Rich call this hyper-deviant writing subspecialty “tradecraft”.

But I’m here to call out the bullshit, and do the math for him.

From 2000 to 2011, the largest brown bullhead catfish ever caught in the state of Washington increased in size by 153%, from 11.04 pounds to 28.1 pounds.

In March 2014, outdoorhub.com said “Florida Angler Lands State Record Brown Bullhead Catfish”.

The article is uncredited. Any time an article is uncredited, it is proof that the author of the article is an Intelligence operative.

The article goes on to say “Richard Clinton of Dade City, Florida broke a nearly 20-year-old state record when he reeled in a 7.02-pound brown bullhead on February 12. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Clinton and his cousin were fishing in an unnamed lake in Pasco County when the massive catfish appeared.”

Where the terse, general “broke a nearly 20-year-old state record” defrays insight into the sudden, quantum increase in size of the brown bullhead catfish in Florida.

As a bonus, the curiously-uncredited author used the false guise of familiarity to omit the word “catfish”, to make the subject far less searchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

Then the author inserts four paragraphs of blather before getting to “The official measurements for the bullhead came in at 22.25 inches in length and 15.5 inches in girth. Clinton’s catch blew away the old state record, which was previously held by Robert Bengis with a 5.72-pound catfish caught in 1995.”

Where the lurid but general “blew away the old state record” obfuscates the far more impactful percentage increase between the records, which I was forced to do the math to learn. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.

They put all those paragraphs in between the new record and the old to “harry the opposition”, to dare the reader to stop reading, to “compartmentalize” the information, and make it harder to integrate and synthesize.

From 1995 to 2014, the Florida state record brown bullhead catfish increased in size by 34%, from 5.25 pounds to 7.02 pounds.
