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

10 North Carolina Italian Restaurants Where Your Money Goes Further

I love a fancy dinner as much as anyone. Still, my favorite Italian meals tend to come from family-run rooms with red sauce, garlic knots, and a takeout box for later. In one North Carolina pizzeria, a single slice gets compared to the size of a medium pie. I had to read that twice.

New vet hospital proposed for Brunswick County

A new animal facility is planning to set up shop in Brunswick County. Headwaters Engineering of the Cape Fear, PLLC, submitted a site plan for a new veterinary hospital near Southport and Oak Island . While the facility could bring more veterinary space, veterinary workers say the county needs more. Despite the population growth over the last two decades, Brunswick has less than 10 animal hospitals. Three of the facilities reside in the Southport area and none are open 24-hours. If emergency care is needed outside of operating hours, often 8 p.m. to 5 p.m., residents must travel to Wilmington. Some pet owners will even drive to Raleigh or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, River Road Animal Hospital Office Manager Morgan Dillard said. Dillard said the county could use more veterinary facilities, veterinarians and staff, especially a 24/7 emergency care facility. Though the hospital is expanding roughly triple the size due to the business outgrowing the existing building, Dillard expects the bigger facility will quickly reach capacity. "We are fully booked," Dillard said. One of the biggest challenges veterinary facilities face is staffing, said Dillard, noting finding and supporting enough adequate staff is a problem that stretches across the nation. Increases
