SAME PROPAGANDA, SAME YEAR, DIFFERENT REGIONAL OUTLET AND AGENT
“We do not stock spotted bass because they are not native,” Chris said. “We know that there is a larger population of spotted bass way upriver above the Barnett Shoals Dam. We’re guessing that the spotted bass in the Oconee originated there. Of course, the way fishermen move fish around, those fish may have come from other places, as well."
Mike Bolton, Georgia Outdoor News, March 2022
“Yellow bass are definitely an unwanted, nuisance species in Nebraska waters. They are a close relative of white perch, another invasive species that has caused nothing but problems in Nebraska waters. I have no doubt that yellow bass are present in Summit because of an illegal introduction. DO NOT MOVE FISH AROUND !"

SAME PROPAGANDA, SAME REGIONAL OUTLET, SAME YEAR, DIFFERENT AGENTS

Mike Bolton, Georgia Outdoor News, March 2022
SAME PROPAGANDA, SAME REGIONAL OUTLET, DIFFERENT AGENTS, DIFFERENT YEARS
In May 2020, Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said “Oconee River Finally Gets Big Blue Cat Record”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Brad Gill omitted the word “Georgia”, and truncated “catfish” back to merely “cat”, all to make the subject almost unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In May 2022, Georgia Outdoor News said “Oconee River Blue Cat Record Broken By 10-Year-Old”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Mike Bolton omitted the word “Georgia”, and truncated “catfish” back to merely “cat”, all to make the subject almost unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
THE DATA
From 1967 to 2021, after standing unbroken for more than fifty years, black crappie in Georgia’s Lake Allatoona suddenly increased in size by 4%, from 3 pounds to 3 pounds, 2 ounces.
Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said in comment only that "“Ralph Evans with the new lake-record black crappie from Lake Allatoona.”
From some 2016 to 2021, the women’s 6-lb. tippet class IGFA world record largemouth bass increased in size by 144%, from 4 pounds, 3 ounces to 10 pounds, 4 ounces
From 2016 to 2020, the women’s 6-lb. tippet class IGFA world record largemouth bass increased in size by 112%, from 4 pounds, 3 ounces to 8 pounds, 6 ounces.
From 2018 to 2021, the West Point Lake, Georgia record blue catfish increased in size by 45% , from 37 pounds, 5.44 ounces to 54 pounds.
In May 2020, the blue catfish winked into existence in the Oconee River in Georgia. It weighed 33 pounds, 8 ounces. In comment, Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said only “Oconee River Finally Gets Big Blue Cat Record”
He’s brazenly playing like the fish have been in there all along, only the Fish Feds in Georgia just didn’t get around to putting them on the list.
As the etheric environment on Georgia’s Oconee river improved to a point where the blue catfish could and would manifest within it, the state of Georgia quick said "there’s a new subclass of records…for the Oconee River, specifically!
Unfortunately for them, the obfuscation breaks down due to the fact that there was no blue catfish record for the Oconee River, previously. Then, from 2020 to 2022, the Oconee River, Georgia record blue catfish increased in size by 16%, from 33.5 pounds to 38 pounds, 11.52 ounces.
In June 2020, the common carp suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Lanier. It weighed 9 pounds, 3.2 ounces.
Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said in comment “A record for common carp has been established on Lake Lanier”.
Then, from June 2020 to 2022, the Lake Lanier, Georgia record common carp increased in size by 59%, from 9 pounds, 3.2 ounces to 14 pounds, 10.24 ounces.
From 2020 to 2021, the IGFA women’s 3-kg. (6-lb) tippet class world record largemouth bass increased in size by 22.3% , from 8 pounds, 6 ounces to 10 pounds, 4 ounces.
From 2020 to 2022, the number of new fish state records set in Georgia increased by 22%, from 27 to 33.
From 2020 to 2021, the number of new fish state records set in Georgia increased by 15%, from 27 to 31.
From 2021 to 2022, the number of new fish state records set in Georgia increased by 7%, from 31 to 33.
In March 2021, largemouth bass suddenly winked into existence in Tired Creek Lake in Georgia, and then increased in size by 7% over the next two months, from 13.66 pounds to 14.6 pounds.
In June 2021, the striped bass suddenly winked into existence on Georgia’s Coosawattee River. It weighed 30 pounds, 12.8 ounces.
In May 2021, the spotted bass suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Sinclair. “Larry Cason has Lake Sinclair’s first-ever spotted bass record. This fish weighed 3-lbs., 9.76-ozs.”
Despite the fact that he writes about fish records for a living, Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill didn’t offer any suggestion as to why or how that might be the case, that is beyond “Lake Sinclair’s first-ever spotted bass record.”
In April 2021, the channel catfish winked into existence on Georgia’s Savannah River. It weighed 25 pounds, 6 ounces. There are no media accounts of a Savannah River record for the channel catfish prior to 2021.
Beyond the documentation of it as a fact in a list of records, there are also no media accounts of Dalton Smith’s 2021 Savannah River record channel catfish in April 2021. That’s an example of what is known in the propaganda trade as a “News Blackout”.
In April 2021, the channel catfish winked into existence on Georgia’s Savannah River. It weighed 25 pounds, 6 ounces.
In April 2021, the yellow perch suddenly winked into existence in Lake Chatuge in Georgia. It weighed 1 pound, 2.24 ounces.
Beyond Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill’s one mention in February 2022 (which omits the weight of the record holder) there are no other media accounts documenting the first yellow perch record in the history of Lake Chatuge, Georgia. That’s an example of a propaganda tactic known as a “News Blackout”.
In June 2021, the warmouth winked into existence on the Satilla River in Georgia. It weighed 1 pound, 10 ounces.
At this writing in 2022, all of Georgia’s wildlife news outlets omit any mention of the 2021 Santilla river record warmouth record, and claim, with a straight face, that the record for the Santilla river was 1.29 pounds, and that it was set in in May 2022.
That’s because the first rule of Politics is deny, deny, deny.
In June 2021, the largemouth bass suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Ohoopee River. Then, from June 2021 to July 2021, the Ohoopee River, Georgia record largemouth bass definitively increased in size by 46%, from 6.5 pounds to 9.5 pounds."
In March 2022, the spotted bass winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Oconee. It weighed 5.2 pounds.
Georgia Outdoor News’ Mike Bolton said “Lake Oconee Gets First Spotted Bass Record”.
And went on to say “We do not stock spotted bass because they are not native,” Chris said. “We know that there is a larger population of spotted bass way upriver above the Barnett Shoals Dam. We’re guessing that the spotted bass in the Oconee originated there. Of course, the way fishermen move fish around, those fish may have come from other places, as well.
Mike is desperate to keep you from recognizing that the spotted bass just suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Oconee because the etheric environment improved to the point where the species could and would manifest there.
In April 2022, in a story about the sudden, exponential increase in size of the yellow bass in Nebraska in 2022, Nebraskaland Magazine at outdoor.gov’s Daryl Bauer said “Yellow bass are definitely an unwanted, nuisance species in Nebraska waters. They are a close relative of white perch, another invasive species that has caused nothing but problems in Nebraska waters. I have no doubt that yellow bass are present in Summit because of an illegal introduction.”
“DO NOT MOVE FISH AROUND! For now, the yellow bass in Summit have a chance to grow large enough that anglers might like to catch them. They might even grow to state record size. Unfortunately, I fear that over time yellow bass numbers in Summit will explode and they will eventually dominate that fishery. When that time comes, the only solution will be a chemical renovation and re-stocking.”
Daryl is desperate to keep you from recognizing that the yellow perch just suddenly increased exponentially inside in Nebraksa because the size, fertility, longevity, and very existence of any organism varies directly with the health of its etheric environment.
THE ARTICLES
In November 2020, igfa.org said “Newly Approved IGFA World Records”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, the uncredited author omitted the word “fish”, along with the names of the species of fish, to make the subject virtually unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
For those late to the party, whenever an author is uncredited it is proof that said author is an Intelligence agent.
The article goes on to say “On July 30, 2020, Kostya Sherbovich caught this 3.52-kilogram (7-pound, 12-ounce) snubnose pompano to set the IGFA Male-Junior World Record. Kostya was fly fishing the flats of Alphonse Island, Seychelles and landed the record catch in 12-minutes after it struck an Alphlexo crab fly. Congratulations, Kostya, on catching and releasing a nice fish to set the first junior world record for this species.”
Wait, what? No Junior has ever caught a snubnose pompano in the history of fishing in all the nations?
The curiously-uncredited author walked the largest (and lone) snubnose ever caught by a junior in the history of fishing in all the nations is walked by to merely a “nice” fish.
The article goes on to say “On August 5, 2020, IGFA Representative, Paolo Pacchiarini caught this incredible 19.50-kilogram (43-pound) northern pike to set the new IGFA Men’s 10-kg (20 lb) Tippet Class World Record. Paolo was fly fishing in Centro Cadore Lake, Italy and landed and released the record pike after a 10-minute fight. Paolo’s new fly fishing record smashes the previous one set in 1996 by over twelve pounds! Congratulations, Paolo, on an incredible catch.”
Where "incredible catch" implies that it was more-skillful fishing that led to the sudden, exponential increase in size of the northern pike in 2020. And gives the subconscious of the Coincidence theorist the green light to say “I don’t believe it!”
The curiously-uncredited fish-enthusiast author put the lurid-but-general “smashes the previous one” and “by over twelve pounds!” in place of the far-more-impactful, specific percentage that they forced me to do teh math to learn. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. They used the exaclamation point as a feint to make you think they’re on the level. It’s the false enthusiasm of the lying used car salesman.
Did you notice how the date of the previous record and who set that record are also omitted? That’s another example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Flylordsmag.com’s Patrick Parry omitted the same information.
The uncredited IGFA article from 2020 continues: “Meredith McCord’s impressive year is continuing to roll with the approval of this massive 3.8-kilogram (8-pound, 6-ounce) largemouth bass that set the new IGFA Women’s 8-kg (16 lb) Line Class World Record. Meredith was fishing Lake Ezekiel, Texas and quickly landed and released the bass after it struck a Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craw. Although most of her records come on the fly, we think any of us would be thrilled to catch an 8-pounder on conventional tackle.”
Where the largest largemouth bass ever caught by a woman on 16-pound line in the history of fishing is walked back to merely “massive” and “impressive”.
“Set the new IGFA record” firmly obscures the scope of the exponential increase in size of the largemouth bass in Texas.
I researched a separate article by the Houston Chronicle’s Marcy McLuna, who also omitted any mention of the previous record holder. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In April 2020, flyfisherman.com’s Lynn Burkhead said “If everything checks out satisfactorily with the International Game Fish Association, McCord’s recent catch stands poised to break the women’s 6-lb. tippet class IGFA world record she already owns at 4-lbs., 3-oz.”
Where Lynn did what she could to hedge by omitting mention of when Meredith set the previous record.
Lynn also used the terse, general “break the record” as a hedge against the far more impactful, specific percentage increase between the records that I was forced to do the math to learn.
From some obfuscated date to 2020, the women’s 6-lb. tippet class IGFA world record largemouth bass increased in size by 112%, or more than doubled in size, from 4 pounds, 3 ounces to 8 pounds, 6 ounces.
In April 2020, in a separate article, Lynn said “Already possessing the women’s 6-pound tippet class IGFA world record largemouth mark, thanks to a 4-3 fish she caught at the farm a few years ago, McCord set about trying to catch her own double-digit bucketmouth bass at Lake Ezekiel.”
At last, gardenandgun.com coughed it up, albeit in a way where you have to do the math to learn the year. It makes it less searchable. It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Anyway, here it is: “When he died, in October 2015, she had seventy-eight. She caught the hundredth on Father’s Day the next year—a largemouth bass, from the Texas pond her dad had built and stocked, and in which he had taught her to fish.”
The record prior to 2016 has been scrubbed from the web.
In March 2021, the IGFA said “On March 30, 2020, IGFA Representative Meredith McCord caught this awesome 4.65-kilogram (10-pound, 4-ounce) largemouth bass to set the IGFA Women’s 3-kg (6-lb) Tippet Record. Meredith was fly fishing the edge of a weed line with an Umpqua Orange Swimming Frog when the huge bass surfaced to eat it.”
From 2020 to 2021, the IGFA women’s 3-kg. (6-lb) tippet class world record largemouth bass increased in size by 22.3%, from 8 pounds, 6 ounces to 10 pounds, 4 ounces.
The November 2020 IGFA article continues: “Theresa Caputo took the long trip north this year to catch the salmon run in Pulaski, New York. It yielded her not only her first but also second IGFA World Record including this beautiful 9.10-kilogram (20-pound, 1-ounce) Chinook salmon that set the new IGFA Women’s 3-kg (6 lb) Tippet Class World Record. Theresa caught the record fish while fly fishing the Salmon River with a purple and chartreuse egg sucking leech pattern. Congratulations, Theresa, on an awesome fishing trip and your first two World Records.”
Where the curiously-uncredited fish-enthusiast author used the terse, general “set the new record” to obscure the sudden, exponential increase in size of the Chinook salmon in New York in 2020.
They also took care to omit the weight of the previous record, along with who set it, and when. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News said “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Brad Gill omitted “Georgia”, the word “state” from “state record”, and every single last fish species name, to make the subject virtually unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Here’s Brad Gill’s picture, making a purportedly-secret Illuminist hand gesture:
(Brad Gill, making a purportedly-secret Illuminist hand gesture)
He’s using conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty.
I’ve included his photograph so that you could get a better idea of what a generational Satanist in a position of marginal influence looks like.
They’re all related to one another through the maternal bloodline. They comprise between twenty and thirty percent of the populace, and are hiding in plain sight in every city, town and village on Earth.
It’s how the few have controlled the many all the way back to Babylon, and before.
But they say that the hardest part of solving a problem is recognizing that you have one.
Don Croft used to say “Parasites fear exposure above all else”.
Brad goes on to say “Since last February’s printing of GON’s Georgia Lake and River Records list, we’ve added 33 fish to the list, up from the 31 fish we added in 2021 and 27 fish that were added in 2020.”
He repeats “we’ve added” and “fish we added” and “fish were added” again and again to reinforce the meme that it was more-assiduous fish-adding that led to the ongoing, exponential increase in fish records in Georgia. Versus the plain truth of “33 new Georgia state fish records were set in 2022, X% more than in 2021.”
From 2020 to 2022, the number of new fish records set in Georgia increased by 22%, from 27 to 33.
From 2020 to 2021, the number of new fish records set in Georgia increased by 15%, from 27 to 31.
From 2021 to 2022, the number of new fish records set in Georgia increased by 7%, from 31 to 33.
Brad’s February 2022 article continues:
“Shannon Campbell with the Oconee River bowfin record. She was trolling a minnow for crappie in an oxbo lake when she caught the 5-lb., 2.4-oz. fish.”
Wow. Despite the fact that he literally writes about fish records for a living, Georgia Outdoor News author Brad Gill somehow managed to omit when Shannon set the record, what the previous record was, where and when it was set, and who set it. Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So I had to look up a separate article.
In May 2022, Georgia Outdoor News said “Oconee River Blue Cat Record Broken By 10-Year-Old”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Mike Bolton omitted the word “Georgia”, and truncated “catfish” back to merely “cat”, all to make the subject almost unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say “The 10-year-old caught the largest blue catfish—38-lbs., 11.52-ozs.–to ever come from the Oconee River below Lake Sinclair. He caught it on April 24.”
Then follow ten paragraphs of claptrap. Followed by “The previous Oconee River blue cat record was a 33 1/2-pounder caught in 2020.”
Putting ten paragraphs in between the data on the new record and the old like that is an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. For elementary school children researching the subject in the future, asking an average American from 2022 to read ten paragraphs of claptrap about a fish record is like asking someone from the 1800’s to memorize the Declaration of Independence.
So, I had to do the math to learn that, from 2020 to 2022, the Oconee River, Georgia record blue catfish increased in size by 16%, from 33.5 pounds to 38 pounds, 11.52 ounces.
In May 2020, Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said “Oconee River Finally Gets Big Blue Cat Record”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, author Brad Gill omitted the word “Georgia”, and truncated “catfish” back to merely “cat”, all to make the subject almost unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
While the subhead reads “A new blue catfish record has been established on the Oconee River below Lake Sinclair.”
Wait, what? Finally? Where agent Brad Gill uses a Black magic trick to cover up the sudden appearance of the blue catfish in Georgia’s Oconee river with “Oconee River Finally Gets Big Blue Cat Record”.
He’s brazenly playing like the fish have been in there all along, only the Fish Feds in Georgia just didn’t get around to putting them on the list.
In 2020, the blue catfish winked into existence in the Oconee River in Georgia. Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said “Oconee River Finally Gets Big Blue Cat Record”
As the etheric environment on Georgia’s Oconee river improved to a point where the blue catfish could and would manifest within it, the state of Georgia quick said "there’s a new subclass of records…for the Oconee River, specifically! Unfortunately for them, there was no blue catfish record, because the blue catfish had never been documented in the Oconee River, previously.
“With last week’s release of GON’s Georgia Lake & River Records new benchmark fish weights, interest has been on the rise with several new record-class fish taken. The latest record to be caught and certified was an Oconee River blue catfish that was caught May 1 and weighed 33-lbs., 8-ozs. It was the first blue cat ever submitted for the Oconee River.”
And, even more unfortunately for them, there’s a witness, and he’s reporting on it.
Brad’s February 2022 article continues:
“Ralph Evans with the new lake-record black crappie from Lake Allatoona.”
Despite the fact that he literally writes about fish records for a living, Georgia Outdoor News author Brad Gill somehow managed to omit the weight of the new record holder, when that record was set, along with what the previous record was, where and when it was set, and who set it. Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So, I had to research another article, and, when I found it, I could easily see why agent Brad Gill had made those telling omissions:
“Allatoona Black Crappie Record Broken After 54 Years”.
It’s from the April 2021 Georgia Outdoor News, and is listed as “reader contributed”. That’s Mil-speak for “written by an Intelligence asset”.
Did you notice how the curiously-unnamed author omitted the word “Lake”, along with “Georgia”? Those are to make the subject less searchable. They’re examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say: “After 54 years, the black crappie record has been broken on Lake Allatoona. The angler was Ralph Evans, of Marietta, who caught the 3-lb., 2-oz. fish on April 6. Below he shares the story of the catch as he pays tribute to a close fishing partner who passed away recently from COVID.”
Then follow seven paragraphs of violin-playing distraction.
For elementary school children researching the subject in the future, making the average American in 2021 read seven paragraphs of claptrap is like making someone from the 1950’s read “War and Peace”.
At last, we read “Net Man Googled and discovered the lake record for a black crappie was set in 1967 and was 3 pounds even.”
In addition to separating the data, the unnamed Intelligence asset used the terse, general “record has been broken” in place of the far more impactful percentage increase between the records that I was forced to do the math to learn.
From 1967 to 2021, after standing unbroken for more than fifty years, black crappie in Georgia’s Lake Allatoona suddenly increased in size by 4%, from 3 pounds to 3 pounds, 2 ounces.
In comment, Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said only "“Ralph Evans with the new lake-record black crappie from Lake Allatoona.”
Despite the fact that Brad Gill literally writes about fish records for a living, he didn’t think it pertinent to mention that the record had been broken for the first time in over fifty years. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as a “News Blackout”.
Brad’s 2022 hit piece soldiers on:
“Larry Cason has Lake Sinclair’s first-ever spotted bass record. This fish weighed 3-lbs., 9.76-ozs.”
Wait, what? In 2021, the spotted bass suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Sinclair. Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill didn’t offer any suggestion as to why or how that might be the case, that is beyond “Lake Sinclair’s first-ever spotted bass record.”
Brad’s 2022 article continues: “Michael Madryga and his son Blair with the new Lake Lanier shellcracker record. Jackson Lance and his 10-year-old son Jack with the new Coosawattee River record striped bass. The 30-lb., 12.8-oz. striper was caught by Jackson on June 12. The story is at www.gon.com/fishing/striped-bass-sets-coosawattee-river-record.”
In a tirelessly-utilized propaganda technique, Brad has, in journalistic parlance, “buried” the information in a separate link. If sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the healdlines, what percentage will, in fact, click that link? It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In June 2021, Georgia Outdoor News said “Striped Bass Sets Coosawattee River Record”.
The author is listed as “GON Staff”.
For those late to the party, any time an author is uncredited, it is proof that said author is an Intelligence operative.
Here, the curiously-uncredited author who writes about fish records for a living omitted the word “Georgia”, to make the subject far less searchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
Buried 11 paragraphs down in the article, we get to “Jackson weighed the striper on certified scales at a meat market, where it registered 30.80 pounds, which converts to 30-lbs., 12.8-ozs.”
For elementary school children researching the subject in the future, making the average American in 2021 read seven paragraphs of claptrap is like making someone from the 1970’s read “the Whole Earth Catalog” at a sitting.
There’s no mention of any previous record. That leads us to infer that, in 2021, the striped bass winked into existence on Georgia’s Coosawattee River.
Brad Gill’s Febuary 2022 article continues:
This record could stand for a while. Gary Sammons caught this 9 1/2-pounder from the Ohoopee River on July 30. It was the second time in about a month this record had been broken. The previous record—caught in mid June 2021—weighed 6 1/2 pounds."
Where, unbelievably, Brad Gill omits the name of the fish. That’s a brazen, blatant example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
In November 2021, Georgia Outdoor News said “Largemouth 9-lbs., 8-ozs. Gary Sammons 07/30/21”
Where the uncredited author who writes about fish records for a living somehow managed to omit “bass” from “largemouth bass”, to make the subject far less searchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
I can’t locate any media accounts of the first record holder, and so must presume that, in June 2021, the largemouth bass suddenly winked into existence in Georgia’s Ohoopee River. Then, from June 2021 to July 2021, the Ohoopie River, Georgia record largemouth bass definitively increased in size by 46% , from 6.5 pounds to 9.5 pounds.
Brad Gill’s February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” continues, on, and on, and on:
Satilla River had three new entries in 2021, the most for any body of water in the state of Georgia last year. Here’s the south Georgia river’s latest warmouth record, caught by Ethan Moody on June 10."
There’s a picture of the fish, but you might have noticed that, despite the fact that he writes about fish records for a living, Brad Gill omitted the weight of the new record holder, and also omitted any information whatsoever on the previous record holder. Those are examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
I guess the truly mind-blowing part is that the people who are outdoor enthusiasts who read Georgia Outdoor News don’t even notice the omissions.
So, I had to research yet another story to learn that Ethan Moody caught a 1-pound, 10-ounce warmouth on Georgia’s Santilla river on June 10, 2021 6/10/2021
I researched the subject further, and found a Georgia Outdoor News article from five days ago (from 5/8/22), which says “Satilla River records - Warmouth 1-lb., 4.64-ozs. 05/10/22”.
Wait, what? Here, we can see that Georgia Outdoor News has “blacked out” the 2021 record. The 2022
A current posting on satillariverkeeper.org says “Source: GA Department of Natural Resources (state records), GA Outdoor News, Satilla river records, Warmouth, Lepomis gulosus, 1 pound, 2.5 ounces.”
Where the people who purport to love the Satilla river like keeping it is, in fact, their job have the record walked back 15% lower than the Georgia Outdoor News article from just five days ago, which claims 1 pound, 4.64 ounces.
Which is, in turn, 21% lower than the actual record of 1 pound, 10 ounces set on June 10, 2021 by Ethan Moody.
A Georgia Wildlife Blog article from four hours ago (an article from 5/13/22), says “A pair of (Satilla) river record warmouth are also making their way through the certification process. Michael Lott caught a 1.29-pound warmouth this week, and Lane Wildes caught a similar sized warmouth the week before.”
On May 6, 2022, Satilla Fish and Game said on Facebook.com: “Just left the dnr in waycross and I now hold the warmouth record in the Satilla River. Caught on Cinco De Mayo At 6:05 pm. 1lb 4oz on my new record breaker crankbait.”
There’s no mention of what the previous record was, or when it was set, in any of these sources.
That means that, in June 2021, the warmouth winked into existence on the Satilla River in Georgia. It weighed 1 pound, 10 ounces.
In 2022, all of Georgia’s wildlife news outlets omitted any mention of the 2021 record, and claimed that the record for the Santilla river was 1.29 pounds, and that it was set in in May 2022.
Brad Gill’s February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” continues, on, and on, and on:
“Dalton Smith with a very nice channel catfish from the Savannah River that he caught last April. It’s the current record at 25-lbs., 6-ozs.”
Is it the current Savannah River record? Or is it the Georgia state record? We cannot know, because, despite the fact that he writes about fish records for a living, Brad Gill couldn’t manage to be plainspoken about it. As a bonus, we walked back the largest channel catfish in the history of fishing in the state of Georgia (or perhaps just the Savannah River) back to merely “very nice”.
A separate Georgia Outdoor News article confirms that it is a Savannah River record.
In April 2021, the channel catfish winked into existence on Georgia’s Savannah River. It weighed 25 pounds, 6 ounces.There are no media accounts of Dalton Smith’s 2021 Savannah River record channel catfish. That’s an example of what is known in the propaganda trade as a “News Blackout”.
There are no media accounts of a Savannah River record for the channel catfish prior to 2021.
Brad Gill’s February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” continues, on, and on, and on:
“Cooper Henley with the Lake Lanier record common carp record. This lake record changed hands several times in 2021 and finally landed on this 14-lb., 10.24-oz. fish, at least for now.”
In June 2020, our Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said “Lanier Gets A Carp Record”.
Where, under the false guise of familiarity, Brad omitted “Lake”, “Georgia” and “Common”, to make the subject virtually unsearchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say “A record for common carp has been established on Lake Lanier by James Martin, of Gainesville. His carp weighed 9-lbs., 3.2-ozs. and was caught the morning of June 6.”
Thus, in June 2020, the common carp winked into existence in Georgia’s Lake Lanier. It weighed 9 pounds, 3.2 ounces.
Georgia Outdoor News’ Brad Gill said in comment “A record for common carp has been established on Lake Lanier”.
From June 2020 to 2022, the Lake Lanier, Georgia record common carp increased in size by 59%, from 9 pounds, 3.2 ounces to 14 pounds, 10.24 ounces.
Brad Gill’s February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” continues, on, and on, and on:
“Mark McClure caught multiple yellow perch on Lake Chatuge on April 19, 2021, including the new lake record.”
Where, despite the fact that he writes articles about fish records for a living, author Brad Gill somehow manages to omit the weight of the current record holder, and then, in a bit of sleight-of-hand, mentions only very-generally that, in April 2021, the yellow perch suddenly winked into existence in Lake Chatuge in Georgia.
And now I’m going to have to research a separate article to learn how much it weighed.
There’s one line item on another Georgia Outdoor News tables which reads “Yellow Perch 1-lb., 2.24-ozs. Mark McClure 04/19/21”.
Beyond Brad Gill’s one mention in February 2022, which omits the weight of the record holder, there are no media accounts documenting the first yellow perch record in the history of Lake Chatuge, Georgia. That’s an example of a propaganda tactic known as a “News Blackout”.
Brad Gill’s February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” continues, on, and on, and on…let see what new species manifestation Brad might be obfuscating next:
"Amanda Parker said she felt blessed to be the new record holder for Tired Creek largemouth. Read her story at (link)
Burying the article or data in a separate link or table is a time-honored propaganda technique. If sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, what percentage of readers do you think actually read the linked articles? It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So I had to research a separate article. In May 2021, the Tallahassee Democrat said “Valdosta woman sets record for Tired Creek Lake largemouth bass”.
The author is Democrat outdoors editor Cliff Mundinger.
The article goes on to say “The monster female largemouth bass weighed 14.60 pounds, was 28 inches long and had an enormous girth of 25 inches. The previous record was set nearly two months ago by Timmy Manac when he caught a 13-lb., 10.56-oz. fish, according to Georgia Outdoor News.”
While Cliff provided the old and new records, he carefully hedged by omitting the far more impactful percentage increase between them. So, I had to do the math to learn that, from March 2021 to May 2021, the Tired Creek Lake, Georgia record largemouth bass increased in size by 6.8%, from 14.6 pounds to 13 pounds, 10.56 ounces. As a bonus, he listed the weights in two different formats, to make doing the math that much more difficult.
In March 2021, Georgia Outdoor News’ Rick Burns said “Tired Creek Bass Weighs 13.66 Pounds***!”***
Did you notice how, under the false guise of familiarity, author Rick Burns omits the word “lake”, the word “Georgia”, and the word “record”, all to make the subject almost completely unsearchable? Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”. The exclamation point shakes a doll or baby rattle to distract you.
“Since opening to the public on Memorial Day weekend in 2018, a 960-acre recreational fishing lake named Tired Creek has been a fishing gem in extreme south Georgia. Big bass always get the attention of anglers, and Tired Creek Lake in Grady County is certainly producing big bass. The latest is a 13 3/4-lb. giant that when weighed on certified scales two weeks later at 13.66 pounds established a new lake record.”
Where Rick has twice walked the biggest bass in the history of fishing at Tired Creek Lake back to merely “big”.
Agent Rick Burns is playing like the lake opened three years ago, and huge bass have been in it all along, only no one has fished for them with the proper assiduousness, previously.
With the truth being that, in March 2021, largemouth bass winked into existence in Tired Creek Lake in Georgia, and then increased in size by 7% over the next two months, from 13.66 pounds to 14.6 pounds.
Brad Gill’s tortuous February 2022, Georgia Outdoor News article “33 New Fish Added To GON’s Record List” at last concludes:
“T.R. Clark with his 54-lb. blue catfish that sets the bar high on West Point. He caught it from a kayak, and the story is told at (link).”
Burying the article or data in a separate link or table is a time-honored propaganda technique. If sixty to seventy percent of readers only read the headlines, what percentage of readers do you think actually read the linked articles? It’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
I’m sure you noticed that Agent Brad Gill walked the largest blue catfish ever caught on West Point lake back to merely “sets the bar high”.
Despite the fact that he writes about fish records for a living, Brad Gill somehow managed to omit the weight of the previous record holder, who set it, and when. Those are all examples of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
So, I had to research yet another article. In April 2021, Georgia Outdoor News said “West Point Blue Catfish Record Caught By Kayak Angler”.
Where, despite the fact that he writes about Georgia fish records for a living, tireless author Brad Gill somehow omitted the words “Georgia” and “lake”, to make the subject far less searchable. That’s an example of the propaganda technique known as “compartmentalization”.
The article goes on to say “T.R. Clark, of LaGrange, may be the only angler on GON’s Georgia Lake & River Records listings to have a 50-pound-plus fish that was caught from a kayak. His recent 54-lb. blue catfish from West Point Lake taken while fishing from a Feel Free Lure 11.5 kayak smashed the old record of 37-lbs, 5.44-ozs. set in 2018.”
Where the lurid-but-general “smashed the old record” obfuscates the magnitude of the sudden, exponential increase in size of the blue catfish in Georgia’s West Point Lake in 2021.
So, I had to do the math to learn that, from 2018 to 2021, the West Point Lake, Georgia record blue catfish increased in size by 45%, from 37 pounds, 5.44 ounces to 54 pounds.
There are no media accounts documenting the 2018 record.
