A small seaside community is for a 21 ft. great white shark swimming in the local lake. A fisherman netted the shark in Tuggerah Lake, which opens to the Pacific Ocean 60 miles north of Sydney, but when he realized the shark was bigger than his 18-foot boat he let it go.

Dixon Lake is one of the most well known spots for anglers, and it was all thanks to a single bass. Dottie was her name, and - at one point - she weighed 25 pounds, 1 ounces. But she will never be caught again after she was found dead on the shore last Friday. Dottie was a massive fish, measuring 29 1/2 inches. While only 19 pounds at death, experts say she probably spawned her eggs and died soon after. She was most noted for a birthmark beneath her gill, a black dot; hence the name.

Reports had initially said that six sea lions in the Columbia River had been gunned down. It's now believed, however, that their deaths were not a result of gunshots after all. Recent bans on salmon fishing on the Weast Coast may have inspired fisherman who depend on the salmon for their livelihoods to corner the market, so to speak, by eliminating their fiercest competitor - the sea lion.
