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

Growth has reached US 17 in Brunswick, but plenty of land remains

The cranes, subdivisions and commercial projects that have transformed much of Brunswick County have not consumed all the land along U.S. 17 . Roughly 50-miles of U.S. 17 has become the spine of Brunswick's growth, connecting some of the areas fastest-growing communities from Leland to Calabash. A StarNews analysis of county parcel records found the corridor still contains several thousands of acres untouched by the development bug . Using the county's Geographic Information System, the StarNews calculated roughly 21,009 acres across 3,106 parcels along the U.S. 17 corridor stretching from the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to the South Carolina border. The calculation included about 15,890 acres that appear undeveloped within 1,293 parcels. Undeveloped identified parcels had no recorded construction year nor heated building area on property tax records. Those undeveloped parcels account for about 76% of the corridor's acreage. Among the largest properties identified in the corridor are tracts of 1,466 acres, 1,279 acres, 955 acres, 883 acres and 766 acres. Together, the five tracts represent more than 5,300 acres, or roughly one-quarter of the acreage, Municipalities, like Leland, continue to attract new residential and commercial development. However, several large tracts remain intact and only a fraction of the corridor
