A St Louis woman has caught a recording breaking fish in British Columbia.
It's an 11 ft. 4 in. white sturgeon.
It's officially the largest freshwater fish ever caught by a female angler at 1,200 pounds.
The fish was tagged and released.
Hear Katharine Eckert tell The Chris & Amy show all about this wild experience!
When my brother, a notoriously picky eater, went through this phase, he kept asking for baby back ribs.
Us: You want baby back ribs?
Him: Yeah, 'cause I'm evil to babies!

This is the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, dated to the late 200s AD. It is the earliest known Christian hymn manuscript with both lyrics and musical notation. A plain English rendering of the surviving words:
“Let all creation be silent.
Let the shining stars be still.
Let the rushing winds and rivers cease.
While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
let every power answer: Amen, amen.
Strength, praise, and glory forever to God,
the only giver of all good things. Amen, amen.”

Every age has its pros and cons, but due to medical advancements, if I were born even five or ten years earlier, my life would look very different now, and I possibly wouldn't be here. It's very fortunate I'm a mid-90s kid, and I'm hopeful treatments will continue to advance.
I wasn't like this as a teen at all. Neither were my friends. Neither is my brother (currently a teen). Neither are many of the teens I've been around in my adult life.
If you think this way, you are telling on yourself.
