Mystery fish caught off NC coast sets a ‘new species state record,' officials say

A fisherman accidentally set a “new species state record” in North Carolina when he caught an oval-shaped fish that no one on the charter boat could identify. Jim Bickerstaff was about 45 miles off Southport, fishing in 140 feet of water when something on his 80-pound test line started fighting back. The elongated fish he pulled aboard the Oak Island Fishing Charter weighed just over 6 pounds, and was 25.5 inches long and 17 inches around, the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries said in a Nov. 10 news release. It has been identified as a unicorn filefish, and it represented a new species for the state’s record keeping. “The truth is, none of us knew what type of fish it was. I’ve been fishing offshore for years, and our captain goes out there more than anybody I know. None of us had ever seen one, and none of us knew what to call it,” Bickerstaff told The Charlotte Observer. “I would love to claim that I’m quite the amazing angler who searched all his life to catch this great white whale, but that would be untrue as I was unaware of this fish’s existence. I actually used the Fish Rules

New NC House leader vows to end a secretive practice. ‘That stops on my side.'

Polls showed the economy was the No. 1 issue on voters’ minds this past election, but they also saw public corruption as a top issue. Much of that concern had to do with Donald Trump’s presidency, but it has also resurfaced as an issue in the state legislature under Republican rule. A federal investigation that issued several subpoenas in 2024, but appeared to end when Trump retook office, specifically looked at legislative spending that benefited insiders. House Minority Leader Robert Reives , a Chatham County Democrat who says he has the votes to become the next House speaker after a blue tsunami election, said he wants to shut down two legislative practices Republicans have used that allow such spending to fester. One is using the final version of the budget to add additional spending and policy that did not appear in either the House or Senate budget proposals. The second is the practice of stripping bills that are being negotiated by small groups of lawmakers from both chambers and inserting a budget bill for a final vote. Both tactics forced state lawmakers to vote on massive budget bills in the hundreds of pages with little time to read them or

With another seat lost, NC Republicans' greedy gerrymander backfires more | Opinion

Last year, Republican lawmakers decided that, despite their best efforts, North Carolina just wasn’t gerrymandered enough. So they took it upon themselves to draw yet another map that would supposedly guarantee their party an additional congressional seat. The expectation was that, in the 2026 midterms, the map would yield an 11-3 majority. Well, that 11-3 majority did happen — just not in the way Republicans had hoped . As of Wednesday, North Carolina is poised to send 11 Democrats and three Republicans to Washington, a stunning collapse of one of the most aggressive gerrymanders in the entire nation . Provisional ballots tallied on Tuesday tipped the race in favor of Democrats in North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, making it the sixth Republican-held seat flipped in the midterms. Incumbent Greg Murphy conceded Wednesday after prematurely declaring victory a week prior. Provisional ballots also extended Chuck Hubbard’s lead over Virginia Foxx in the 5th Congressional District, though she has not conceded yet. What makes the collapse especially stunning is that nobody saw it coming. While some districts were targeted by national Democrats from the start and others became targets in the final weeks of the campaign , several of the seats Republicans

Merrick's lead narrows in NC House race after provisional votes counted

The inclusion of provisional and absentee ballots has slimmed the margin in a tight race for N.C. House District 20 ahead of the official results. New Hanover County Board of Elections counted the additional 1,036 provisional and 90 absentee ballots on Nov. 10. Democrat Tim Merrick holds the lead with 22,160 votes at 50.09% of the electorate — 81 votes ahead of Republican Dane Scalise, who holds 22,079 votes, or 49.91%. Merrick initially led by 101 votes. The results are unofficial until the county canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. The race is eligible for a recount upon request from Scalise. Following the results on election night, Scalise declined to comment on a potential recount. According to the State Board of Elections, a candidate who did not win in a non-statewide contest can demand a recount if the difference between a winning candidate and the candidate demanding the recount is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest. Any mandatory recounts would be completed by county boards after the county canvass and should be completed prior to the state canvass.
