Teacher Teacher, let me answer that question.

He is a liar.

the first report of this story I heard indicated that bush said he caught a bass, not a perch. later reports say perch. i suspect bush isn’t lying in this case (hard as that is to believe), and someone else quoted the first published source incorrectly.

He said he caught a large mouth bass. He is still a liar, but about more serious issues.

I know a little German, and this report is supposed to appear in the German tabloid Bild am Sonntag. It IS a tabloid.

Anyway, I went on the BamS website and couldn’t find the article - it is not posted yet. I am also pretty sure there aren’t any bass in Germany. I did a small amount of research on the fishes of Germany, and it appears there aren’t any bass. So, this might very well be a failure to translate properly on the part of the German reporter.

But really, what we SHOULD be asking is: THIS is his best moment as President? It seems to me that someone who was serious about the job would be able to come up with something else like, oh, I don’t know, fighting poverty, bringing democracy to other parts of the world, reducing our reliance on oil, protecting our constitutional rights,…oh, I see. Well, at least he could have said something about meeting with the injured soldiers in Walter Reed.

I say if his best moment as President is catching a fish, then he should resign immediately! He will have all the time in the world to have a wealth of “best moments” catching fish, and we will be FREE AT LAST!

‘Barsch’ in German can mean ‘Bass’ or ‘Perch’. It was probably just a translation error. The whitehouse transcript says bass.

Was ist das?

Not only is Bush a Liar, he is INSANE.
No normal person would lie over something so unimportant as a lousy fish.

1. There are no “largemouth bass” in his pond.

2. Bragging about a 7.5 pound largemouth bass would be kind of pointless, as that’s kind of… tiny.

3. There ARE perch in his pond.

4. Bragging about a 7.5 pound PERCH would indeed be significant — in fact, it would be a world record.

Get these fun facts and more here.

peace.

to tell a lie you have to know the truth otherwise its bushit

Greatest moment . . . what did the bass/perch think finding a hook in his mouth connected to an a$$hole in a boat????

I say we let Gomer go fishing for the next 1000 days . . . I’ll pitch in to buy the worms!

Translate–”I would say the best time in my life was when I caught a 7.5 lb perch in my lake.

Translated–I say the best time in my life was when I hooked the US people, congress and our allies. I caught them with a 9-11 spinner. Yes, it was my greatest moment, a whopper of at least ?750 billion pounds.

I bet the lake was stocked with big fish before he went in there. Ask the Texas Game and Fish. My money, is the lake is stocked!!!!

bass or perch:who cares? we talk of fish while people are dying in a war paid for with our tax dollars..we are distracted by bird hunting accidents,malapropisms and assorted bs,meanwhile ,these evil greedheads loot,plunder,rape&pillage,oh and bomb,bomb.bomb! perspective is essential-save the outrage for the real damage done,otherwise we r all fiddlin while rome burns

He was using explosives to catch the PERCH.

I saw the story and it said PERCH.
And I saw it last week, link from Buzzflash.

The only thing lost in translation is dumbya….It translates to Bush or Shrub.

Being a Texas boy by birth, not fortune I did think that was a huge perch.

One more lie from the Lyin’ King….

Being a Texan myself, and an avid fisherman, Bunnypants (Dubya) is full of it. If he doesn’t know a perch from a bass, he is hurting, badly. My six year old, who I take fishing often, knows the difference. One word to describe the World’s most powerful man, IDIOT.

I too read that story about the perch and had the same reaction.

The Leader of the Free World’s proudest moment! Save us all.

Pathetic of course, but is there some metaphorical truth hidden in this story?

I thought that 7.5 lbs for a Perch was exceptionally big so I went online and searched for fishing records. Ah Ha! I found that there had been no native perch caught anywhere near that size. They were from 1 to 3 pounds, EXCEPT once instance of a 12 lb. Nile perch caught in Texas in 1980. These Nile perch had been stocked in some Texas lakes from the late 1970s until 1984. Reading about the Nile perch we find that it is not at all the benign species that we think of when we think Perch.

“The Nile perch is a large freshwater fish. Also known as capitaine, mputa or sangara, it can grow up to 200 kg and two metres in length. It was introduced to Lake Victoria in 1954 where it has contributed to the extinction of more than 200 endemic fish species through predation and competition for food.

Large predator… feeding in Lake Victoria on juvenile Nile perch (cannibalism).” (Complied by: Dr. Jos Snoeks, Africa Museum, Leuvensesteenweg, Tervuren, Belgium & Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG). )

Bush was proudest when he caught a 7.5 lb. fish that can grow up to 400 lbs.

What a perfect metaphor! If indeed it was a Nile Perch which had been placed in the Bush photo-op fishin’ hole, how perfect to find that it is responsible for the extinction of more that 200 species of smaller fish and they “eat their young”.

I read further in the article and found the following which I quote:
“This species has been nominated as among 100 of the “World’s Worst” invaders”.

Friends, can you imagine a better way to describe not only Bush’s favorite moment, but Bush himself..

But on the other hand, if it was not a rare Nile Perch, it would have been a native perch and he was just another lying fisherman. An even better metaphor.

THE COVERUP

After writing the above I saw another reference to the fish story in an American paper. Obviously a vast right-wing conspiracy is at work here. They reported the “best moment”, but the fish had been changed to a “Large Mouthed Bass”. Could it be that the White House had the translation changed to a fish that better fits the image?
On reflection I see THIS is the really best metaphor of all.

Perch or bass? Dumb? Yes, but immaterial. The assertion that Bush believes catching a fish is the best moment of his presidency shows the depth of his character. You’d think he’d want to extoll on something noble - like how he was able, through the power of his office, to help alleviate human suffering, feed the poor, or leave the world in better condition than when he took office. Oh, right. He doesn’t do that sort of thing.

I suppose it is possible that he caught a Nile perch, if some are stocked somewhere in Texas, but most ponds in the midwest and south are stocked with largemouth bass. Stocking is necessary to create a population if the pond is artificially constructed, as many are in Texas since they are not common on flat land. As a largemouth bass fisherman I will attest that a 7.5 pounder is reasonably big and may be bragged about, though 10 pounders are caught in Texas lakes and they go over 20 lbs. in southern California due to expecially favorable conditions.

Y’all need to know your facts when you critique this fool, or you just look stupid. The largemouth bass is a treasured species in the south especially, so acting ignorant about it just makes you look dumb.

HOW COULD BUSH KNOW WHAT HE CAUGHT IF CARL WASN’T THERE TO ADVISE HIM?

The Left can lick the crease of my shithole

David Brown - thanks for sharing your conservative family values with us. Although we don’t need more examples of the hypocrisy of rightwing Bush-worshippers like yourself, it’s nice of you to remind us that you are all emotionally and intellectually stunted — just like your Dear Leader.

7+ lrge mouth bass does garner bragging rights here in Texas…but what I find really amusing is this…the large amount of liberals here, swimming in so much animosity, and attacking the CIC over his fishing habits…and about sending our “young men and women” to die…those young men and women are soldiers…not children. I was in the service, and being there is a choice we make..I was not conscripted…if you join a unit that is oriented around WAR then you might get sent to WAR…see the logic in that? On top of that…this is a republic, not a democracy…and the people do not decide when we go to war…our leaders do…your liberal congressmen and women voted to send our soldiers there correct? All the President can do is ask them too. Point your fingers at the true culprits not the scapegoat.

Mr. Lively, go pedal your rightwing bushwa elsewhere. If a liberal president had sent the country to war based on either a pack of lies or because he lacked the competence to read intelligence reports — which are your only two choices with this rightwing idiot you and your kind have saddled us with twice — you’d be screaming for his head.

Fuckin’ hypocrites!
