Bass program going strong By Johnny Boggs When the Santee-Cooper river system was dammed in 1941, many biologists believed the striped bass species would die off because they had no way to get back to the ocean. Forty-one years later, however, one of fisherman's favorite prey can be found in abundance in Santee-Cooper and other river systems, including the Pee Dee. Reggis Harrell, a fishery biologist for the South Carolina Water and Marine Resource Department at the Bonneau, S.C., station, held a seminar Monday at USC and discussed methods used by the Bonneau wildlife department to preserve the species of fish. "Striped bass was thought for years to migrate to fresh water to spawn," Harrell said. "So when the Santee cooper taxes were closed on Nov. 12, 1941, biologists thought striped bass would die out because they were cut off from the ocean. 4'In the early 1950s, mid-'50s and into the early '60s, reports came in of fishermen catching striped bass," Harrell said. "They were catching fish that should not be there. Therefore, fish were naturally reproducing in fresh water, which was totally unique in the world as far as the species was concerned." Harrell said that after this discovery, the wildlife department in Bonneau began researching the species.

"We produce about 65 million (striped bass) a year and use about 10 million for the purpose of South Carolina," Harrell said. The station has produced 120 million striped bass, he said. Harrell said the department has also cross-bred the striped bass with white bass for anglers and other sportsmen. "We had the female striper mate with the male white bass to provide excellent angling," he said. "In Florida, they've had the female white bass mate with the male striper and have had great success with what they call the Sunshine Bass."

Morris discussed the plea with state prosecutors and Dade County Circuit Judge Ellen Gable before final arguments began in his trial. The Miami Herald reported Sunday that Chief Assistant State Attorney George Yoss rejected the plea and that Gable called the request "ludicrous." Morris was convicted by a circuit jury Friday and now faces a minimum of 15 years in prison. ODD Tur nrnumA UITI i nnrc u?..?

In 1980, Georgia beat Florida 26-21 and jumped from second place to first when No. 1 Notre Dame was held to a 3-3 tie by Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs went on to win the national championship. On Monday, Georgia jumped from third place to first following a 44-0 rout of Florida, while Pitt dropped from first to eighth by losing to Notre Dame 31-16.
