My brother did this onboard the USS Lapon in the late 80s. He got the Arctic service ribbon. He also got a plaque with a little tube of water in it from the North Pole. My parents kept it on their wall until they died. 
He also got colon cancer from keeping the nuclear plant running.

Who set up the camera?

I asked my brother that. He said when they did it, they surfaced multiple times. Came up once, let a scout party out for pics, etc., submerged, then came up a few hundred yards away.  The whole crew came out in shifts so they could all say they’d been to the North Pole (on top of the ice).  Guard party on overwatch looking for polar bears.

Gotta just be the record for that specific lake


Yes, but a 62lb blue isn’t huge for a blue.

Forked tail so I think that's a channel. Been decades since I lived in Texas but I recall an old record being in the mid-30-pound range and coming out of the Pedernales.

Channels don't get nearly as big as blues or yellows.

That’s a blue.

Weird. Pretty sure the state record for blues was well over 100.

Hmm. Just looked it up--121.5 pounds set in 2004 from Lake Texoma. Pedernales still has the record channel.

Maybe this guy set a catch-and-release mark? /shrug

I'll give my dad a call later today and see what he knows about the fish.  He fishes Falcon every week.  A quick search of the local news KGNS turned up zero.  In the meantime, enjoy this.

Looking elsewhere it clarifies that it was the water body record. Guess they just don't get very big in that lake for some reason

There’s got to be some sort of software help on things like that right?  Like maybe overlaying a grid and editing the photo down to just a fuzzy blur and recreating the dark and light spots in each grid square or something?  Or are people just talented enough to make shit like that freehand?

Checked in with dad yesterday, it went something like this...

Me-Hey did you hear about the lake record blue cat?

Dad-Oh yeah, the game warden told me about it and showed me a picture.   He's buddies with the one of the local GWs.

Me-WTF?  Where were you at? Trying to catch fish from the recliner?

Dad-I've been clearing in the back with Kiko.  Besides, there wasn't anything special about it. I've seen plenty of fish with shadows that weighed 60 pounds.

Me-Uh. It's a record fish for the lake.

Dad-Hell I've caught that fish 2 times already.  I could tell from the hook marks on the mouth, plus I put my brand on him on the right side.  That's why they are holding him to show the left.

Me-You're full of shit and telling a fish story.

Dad-Well, I'm a fisherman, aren't I?

Who asked for this?

Is someone going to use AI to put tits on all US presidents?

Ok, ok. That would be dumb.

Let's use AI to transform all US Presidents to hot women so we can secretly want to fuck them?

Ok. That's stupid.

Let's use AI to transform famous Native Americans in history to Asian or Klingons even. Who knows?!

That's the ticket.

 

You don't think this is in anyway problematic?

I don't want to get all CR, but this is not ok. 

Blackface or whitewashing with the sophistication / realism of AI is still blackface or whitewashing.

How, exactly, does a random AI video "whitewash" this piece of culture???

Jfc, the hypersensitivity is off the freaking charts.

Look man, people can do what they do.

I'm not going to go picket OpenAI.

I understand the curiosity.

But asking what would Taylor Swift look like as a dinosaur is not the same as making her black or turning Beyonce white. There's some large historical currents that exist whether we would like to recognize them or not.

There's no satirical or culture value in that as opposed to Chappelle dressing up as a white news anchor on his show. That was funny and made a statement.

Or maybe this is making a statement and I'm too myopic to see it as an old.

IDK.

This is not a hill I want to die on and the more I type the closer I get.

Until we get to a point where masses of people are celebrating this as an example of "how things ought to be", this is all we are talking about. A curiosity.

Panties should remain unbunched until that time.

Fair point.

I might not agree completely in this specific instance, but maybe not reading the worst into something that could just be innocuous would be beneficial.

I am kind of curious to see what Presidents would look like as hot chicks.

5th grade American history was a transformative time in my life and I think some wires got crossed somehow.

AI can be a dangerous thing when used wrong.  Of ALL the bad things that can be done with it…

this isn’t one of them.  Let’s all chill out a bit.
