Rare fish caught by sport fishermen in Ocean City Article Courtesy: fox5dc.com | By: Evan Lambert | Originally published November 3, 2017

Austin Ensor and his Maryland fishing buddies were out this past weekend trying to drag out fishing season as long as possible and now their rare find may have them hanging on a little further into fall.

Ensor reeled in a 105-pound opah on Sunday. The fish, also known as a moonfish, typically is found in tropical waters. It is also the only known warm-blooded fish, giving it an advantage as a predator in the depths of the ocean.

Ensor says his crew had just caught an 80-pound swordfish when the opah latched on to their bait. They could tell by the fight the fish put up that it was going to be bigger than the swordfish.

It took nearly an hour and a half to reel in the opah, but much of the crew had no idea what they had caught. Ensor says he finally realized he had seen the fish before.

Hurricanes!                                      NASA just released this spectacular animation of the atmosphere during hurricane season. You are looking at something we call “Aerosols”… stuff like fine dust, smoke and salt particles. This new GEOS Simulation is a HUGE step forward in atmospheric monitoring and simulation. For Floridians there is a lot to take note of in this video like the hurricanes (salt) and the vast plumes of dust coming off Africa. You may remember hurricane Ophelia which hit Ireland as a post tropical cyclone. At 1:40 mins in you can see Ophelia pick up smoke from Portugal’s extensive fires and stream it north into the UK. We saw video of that. Also you can clearly see the western wildfire smoke. Just incredible work by NASA. CBS 12 News From NASA: The Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has developed the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS), a family of mathematical models. Combined with data from NASA’s Earth observing satellites, the supercomputer simulations enhance our scientific understanding of specific chemical, physical, and biological processes.
