Oh God, that's a big fish Where the pines grow tall welcome to exploring outdoor greatness here Welcome back to the channel y'all glad you subscribe glad you're here. We're going on a adventure What's known by me and Lunkers TV as the terror this time of year in the spring? We usually like to go out east where there's a lot of grass in the lakes You can see in the water better it warms up quicker in this part of the state and the bass fishing is normally better ahead of schedule Then you're typical of you know where we live So that's why we come out here, and it is a it's popular place to go bass fish It is literally on the edge of where you know, I fell in love with bass fishing over at Lake Ford You know this whole East Texas area Just beautiful scenery grasses you think bass are all up in here when you see the lakes I am sending it to What lake we spent a little bit of time at last year But I want to spend a little more time today and see what we can get on the line There are some mega crappies in here some really really fat healthy bass It's not too big of a lake So we're gonna go check that out and then there's some other lakes in the region that we're gonna end up going In the next few days, so I got I got the silver bullet behind me. I got all my camping gear I've got loaded. I'm loaded down loaded for bear. I'm loaded for crappies I'm loaded for large mouth loaded for anything that that tries to jump out there and attempts to buy my lure So I can twerk it should be an interesting episode today y'all We're great to see all finally out here on the water Long travel day. This water is The same colors I remember what it's 64.8 You've been paying attention to the vids lately been talking a lot about the water temps moon phase, you know current moon phase we are a waning give us 65 didn't 65 right now. So in my mind. I'm thinking shallow Shallow especially with muddy water these bass have got to be up in the mud Today is really an exploratory day to try to figure out what the fish are doing what? What patterns are going to come about? So that is my job and to also be careful out here in ET big old stumps Tend to knock the old Yamaha around. So I'm gonna take it slow take it easy See if we can figure out a pattern again I think this is my first day out of the year fishing its adles Go ahead and smash a like button on that Smash the like button for just going and sporting new stuff a couple of cranks couple of spinners That sort of deal it always just takes a minute You know just to get out here to figure out, you know, what are the baits going to be what are the selections? You know, what rods am I gonna use and get those rods dialed in or your cast and all of them really good It takes a minute, you know unless you're doing it every day Which I don't anymore, but I try to fish a lot as you guys know Throw in the meat potatoes water 64 above 64. It's meat potatoes time when I say that I mean I'm breaking out the bigger stuff I'm breaking out jigs. I'm breaking out chatter baits. I'm breaking out my spinner baits. I'm breaking out the That's you know every everything that's big and bold I'm ready for big bass a little bit of a wind here And there's some riprap. I figured I would go ahead and hit that situation my biggest site fish is a nine pounder, but I've caught More fish bigger than that that I haven't seen that I have seen on bed. So It's not discouraging to me Next thing we got a look for y'all is some bait evidence of the crappie right there. No No, that's a gigantic yellow bass. I believe whoa, those were teeth that tasty, too Far the scouting report has been not good. I just fished some beautiful cypress tree areas Look great look promising So I got to explore some other things I was really hoping they were gonna be in that nice calm beautiful area, but it's not looking like that I Got to be careful out here a lot of stumps trees I'm gonna head out to another completely different area. I'm gonna keep truck I've been cruising in the shallows for quite some time. I just saw my first bass on a bed. I'm surprised I could even see this water clarity but Just kind of spooked it off didn't really seem Too hot to trot.  Think I have a spawning pair to my left I'm gonna go with this soft approach here Okay, I think I've identified the male Oh, they're both angry at it. They both don't like it. Here is the move folks Open got me a little something special in here, and I do Prototypes prototype crawls Claws and beavers. These are These are Guggenbates. This is the cracking crawl, but we don't have a white or pearl color out yet So been experimenting with some Some new colors. This would be one. This would be, you know putting on your swim jigs Or bed fishing like this Where you can see the bed. This is such muddy water that I can't see so I'm gonna Try to put this white craw on there. It doesn't look like these fish are too spooky first locked pair of 2019 Sight fishing. I did not think I was gonna be doing that today. I'm in extremely muddy water Just got to look for shadows, but that might be the way I have to catch these fish because They're starting to pair up and they don't really want to eat Okay, I feel like the lock Oh gosh, I feel like the lock is happening now She ain't moving. Came right on top of it Getting more and more aggressive. This is some strong willed fish right here. I'll tell you what Well, bam Right on you right on your side. There you go Start getting fast with this fish. I just need it to get a little reaction When you start going like really quick taking it in and out They start to get confused you can do it with with fish that are just locked on sitting there Like this one get started getting a little antsy They're more likely to just do a reaction bite on it switch baits That's big fish switch baits it got her got her to go Bigger than I thought Wow That one's got some shoulders. I Thought it was like a four it might be like a five or six. Oh With the dust settle on that one for a minute There's two more. I just need to find the ones that are gonna gobble dark season. It's here Not as big but they're there just gonna go from the knee Okay, that fish Definitely got scared of that not my best flip. Yeah, that fish is freaked Just not gonna do it Okay, I went down the bank a little further and I just saw a female bass is behind And that's sandy spot. She showed herself Put her tail straight up in the air.   God. This is just disappointing No, and there's big fish And I can't get on a bite So once again, I'm gonna have to abandon this fish Man y'all This is why I love and hate site fishing. We find them.   I just want to go find more of those when I catch one It's gonna be a sweet snap But I've seen five or six ish I've seen one about eight and this is some good fish, you know, so of course spending some time on Couple of giants Doubt they're gonna buy at least it's like a Five and a six together that one's pissed. These are the most catchable I've seen Ripped my painters. I'm so defeated. It's like I don't even want to I don't even want to make a video This is embarrassing. I feel like this is an embarrassing day I've had three long attempts On bed fish and I've I've squandered them, you know, that one's four four ish That one was five. The other one was probably seven or eight. There are just some days You're not meant to catch one I don't even know if my GoPro was rolling for that But uh, just caught a four pounder. It was running off With my line I thought it had it in its mouth Then it was just like on its side, man. I stuck it Unfortunately, son of a gun. This is just not my day This fish represents a lot. This has been one of my toughest days of fishing Not like trying to find fish. I've found fish.  That's why they're hard to catch. All right.  I couldn't catch up to it Well, y'all, I'm gonna go put it on the each right there five bucks to camp here You get primitive camping for five bucks. I was like, where do I go? Yeah, just somewhere out there in the wood. It's good quick to your spot That's what I got to get set up now guys And I'm going to start here tomorrow fresh. I just didn't have the mojo going today Today could have been a much more successful day had I caught a few of those good bed bass, you know A seven a five If I would have hooked into the the fish that I I I lost on the on the swim bait That would I was a solid hit. I had it four, you know I just had a three a second ago like it would have been a really nice day of fish I just couldn't put anything together. But tomorrow is a new day. I'm gonna think about all this tonight No netflix no distractions I think I'm gonna be camping inside of my boat so Let's go get camp set up and then I don't know eat something we're gonna eat something Welcome to camp lfg for the night We're amongst the pines We're just going to take the silver bullet right here. I have my whole tent and everything I'm just like I don't really want to set the whole thing up I've never done this before and I think this will actually work if I put the tent cover on here And then propped it up It basically is a tent and then I have my sleeping pad and sleeping bag sleeping bag I can put it in there and it should be fine. I think it's going to be in the 50s tonight So it should be pretty cozy in there.  I got my my pillow and then I've got a sleeping bag too Also in my crate. It's all good in the hood guys I've even got a pancake grill for uh for those pancakes. I'm gonna whip out in the morning Just kidding. Don't have pancakes for the morning. I do have some some deer sausage though I'm gonna cook up and I got some uh some already boiled eggs that I got from buckets I'm not even sure I have anything to throw on this grill at this point.  It's my office away from my office. Uh There's you know a couple of spiders crusty spiders hanging from the ceiling. We got there a little arachnid Issue no McGill got my sleeping pad I took my shooting sticks from the back of the truck Never know when you're gonna need those acted as a little teepee situation. I've got my tripod Setting up that little area right there So my head goes there and then my feet are here and I've got plenty of Of space going on back here. We've got uh our charging station So we're gonna set up our gopro batteries and our phone stuff on that if we want to rock some tunes We've got the bluetooth set up over there got some got some speakers up under here Just hanging out on the internals of the boat You know, maybe do a little graph map looking so I'm all set up for tomorrow's day. Oh y'all I got a good feeling about tomorrow today.  He's like, man, you just didn't spend enough time on them docs You know So I think I have a good strategy figured out for tomorrow's dangle on both crappie and bass And we'll just rotate around see what is good and then attack Whatever is biting y'all. Thank you guys for coming along for all these adventures Um, the reason I got all all this stuff and did a review on it on it earlier is because because of this moment right now Going on the tear when the nights are in the 50s 40s. It's beautiful. Might as well just camp out And there's the coyotes you realize when you're camping out in your own boat underneath the boat cover that, uh You have a serious fishing problem And I hope you guys do too If you do let me know in the comments and I hope to see you right back here on the next dangle I love you fishing freaks and I'll see you on the next one


older farmers so I was pretty amazed when I got there and they showed me here he's got this video communication system at his center and people are sitting there and linked out to villages and are passing information and doing amazing extension work through the most modern technology so Dr. MS Swaminathan is clearly new school in leading this effort so it's my great pleasure to welcome the chair of the next panel Dr. MS Swaminathan. Thank you very much Ambassador, as already announced this particular conversation is about the role of small farmers, farm women and men in the conservation and sustainable use of bio-diversity. As Ambassador Quinn said this year 2010 has been recognized as an international year of bio-diversity by the UN system and I think shortly there's a meeting in Nagoya in Japan I think this week to review what has been done in terms of conservation and sustainable use of bio-diversity. This is particularly appropriate to link this with the board-law dialogue because I think more than any other front-bed agriculture scientists and the world leader Norman Board-Law recognizes the importance of genetic diversity in fact all the success of his work was based upon a fundamental principle. Genetic homogeneity, genetic homogeneity enhances genetic vulnerability to pests and diseases based on this concept he wanted to have genetic heterogeneity not homogeneity in his varieties so he brought about the pyramiding of genes from diverse sources whether it was winter wheat or spring wheat all of them are together and that's one of the reasons why most of the varieties he bred were not only capable of using solar energy, nutrients and water more efficiently but also were resistant to a broad spectrum of diseases and pests. In fact the last year even last year one of his last conferences was to fight the UG-99 race of stem rust he was very concerned the stem rust he has seen that in his younger days what kind of damage can be caused to crops by rust diseases therefore he decided that he should alert the whole scientific world political world on the dangers of new races of rust and just as UG-99 so I think it's on this occasion I hope we can again look back and see what we should do to conserve biodiversity and use it sustainably and effectively. If you look at small boulders and sustainability, sustainable agriculture one of the very important methods by which they could ensure sustainability of agriculture was by genetic heterogeneity bringing a number of varieties mixed cropping large number of varieties grown what we now call land races over 150,000 land races of rice varieties are available and of them more than 100,000 are in the chain bank of the International Rice Research Institute. Farmers have always valued diversity they are the great conservators in the broad world of biodiversity if you take agro biodiversity economically important crops and so on. Agro diversity is the product of interaction between biodiversity and cultural diversity at one hand and biodiversity and culinary diversity under hand the way in which we use the grains very large number if you read the books written by Noel Bietme who is a biographer of Northern Bordelog the last crops of the Incas the last crops of Africa and so on you will see what a wide range of crops on which the local food security as well as the health security that is medicinal plants both were really built on a wide very great diversity gradually with the market oriented agriculture we have been compressing the basket hardly four five six crops today are important there were several hundred crops in the past but one more thing which is happening now with the climate change it is now being recognized the climate resilient agriculture has to be built on the foundation of biodiversity it has to be genetic diversity so the chain banks from a warming planet have once again attracted considerable attention. Bordelog let me also say even when we were in the late 60s we were discussing about the underutilized crops and he encouraged the formation of an international council for underutilized crops one Lazarov was the first director unfortunately didn't receive that kind of support but I went mentioning the importance of a wide grain Bordelog was always interested in diversifying the food habits bringing in large number of local grains and so on and that the kind of work now is fortunately receiving more attention now in the case of small farmers is largely mostly women have been the great conservators from the time over 12,000 years ago the transformation took place from purely food gathering to food growing you find a very great contribution in the selection of variety the selection of species were all done by women where we work in my own center which Ambassador Quinn visited the seminar but where we work in the interior parts of India what are called sometimes tribal areas you may call indigenous people you find an almost work which is being done by those people local people to conserve biodiversity for example one group of workers mainly women who developed a system of community conservation of biodiversity through gene banks in C2 on form conservation in other words the land races kind of cryogenic is only preservation but on form conservation is evolution plus preservation and that is different they have constructed gene banks seed banks grain banks and water banks this received the equity initiative award at Reody at Reody genital and also later on at bonus artists these people are on it similarly they have always considered to be biodiversity as there are line in sustainable agriculture whenever there is drought and other floods the large number of varieties help them in order to save something at least it was obtained and this kind of conservation efforts will have to revitalize now for promoting a climate resilient agriculture but we are sure to do something to recognize and reward these farmers there is no use in seeing small farmers of the custodians of genetic diversity but they also require some recognition and reward this is why both the global biodiversity convention as well as the FAO treaty on farmers rights have specially made suggestions how people should recognize and reward the conservation traditions of local communities of small farmers in India we have what we call a genome savior award for those farm families and communities who have been able to conserve land races of various variety these kinds of steps are needed for what the local people themselves have called in the play one of the places where we work it is called by botanists and by biodiversity experts as a hot spot as agro-biodiversity or biodiversity hotspot the area in Orissa but what the woman have done there is they decided to form a society local name can be converted to English as bio happiness society and the purpose of the bio happiness society is to ensure the conservation sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of biodiversity in other words they finally say the bio happiness society will convert a hotspot into a happy spot and today we are now going to hear from our panelists how to convert the biodiversity hotspots into happy spots and thereby ensure sustainable food security for all I have great pleasure
