Angler shatters Idaho state record with unforgettable catch
An Idaho man made the catch of a lifetime when he caught a grass carp weighing nearly 70 pounds, Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) officials announced on Tuesday.
Riley Farden of New Plymouth caught the giant fish while bowfishing on the Snake River, a popular fishing site for anglers.
IDFG officials said Farden’s catch broke the state record for the species.
Weighing 67.65 pounds, the animal beat the previous grass carp archery record of 38.5 pounds, along with the grass carp rod/reel record of 46.7 pounds.
The record-breaking carp also measured about 49 inches long with a girth of nearly 33 inches, according to the IDFG.
Grass carp are a large member of the minnow family, and can grow up to nearly 5 feet in length, according to the Invasive Carp Regional Coordination Committee (ICRCC) of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
They noted that grass carp over 10 years old can weigh more than 80 pounds.
Grass carp are native to eastern Asia, the USGS said.
The animals were brought to the US in the 1970s for human food and as a way to control algal blooms in wastewater and treatment plants.
Since then, the animals have become an invasive species, spreading to 45 states, the USGS noted.
One of those states is Alabama, where the world record for the largest grass carp caught by a bowfisherman was set.
The Bowfishing Association of America said that, in May 2015, Bryan Hughes caught a grass carp measuring 51.5 inches long and a whopping 92 pounds.

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — An afternoon of free-play pinball and a belly dancing lesson took place at the Boise as the Idaho Pinball Museum’s Girls’ Day Out.

Girls’ Day Out featured the Idaho Belles & Chimes club, which meets monthly to encourage everyone to play pinball. In May, the group is paying tribute to the art style seen on many machines featuring belly dancing costumes.
The event included a free belly dancing lesson from Starbelly School of Dance, along with an optional Women’s Division pinball tournament.

Viral Idaho Domino’s pizza driver ‘Dan the Man’ retires after strangers raise $170K for his act of kindness
An Idaho Domino’s delivery worker whose small act of kindness went viral has retired after kind strangers helped raise more than $170,000.
Dan Simpson, 68, known locally as “Dan the Man,” said the surprise windfall allowed him to step away from years of grinding work from his job with the pizza chain in Boise, Idaho, earlier than planned.
“I got up this morning … and I checked my bank account and there was $163,000, what a retirement gift that was,” Simpson told KTVB Idaho on Friday. The donations have now hit $171,375.
Simpson shot to internet fame in March after a family’s doorbell camera captured him telling a customer he had bought their Diet Cokes with his own money when the store ran out during his delivery.
“Oh, you don’t need to. It’s a good tip,” he told customer Brian Wilson, who offered to reimburse him for the beverage.
The video spread quickly online after Wilson posted it on TikTok, drawing millions of views and prompting him to launch a GoFundMe campaign that far exceeded its original goal.
“What Dan didn’t know is that my wife and I are both visually impaired, so running out to the store for a ‘quick’ pickup is not something that is simple or easy for us,” Wilson told the Idaho Statesman at the time.
“What may have seemed like a tiny inconvenience to solve on his end actually made a huge difference on ours.”
Longtime delivery driver Simpson, who also worked for the Idaho Department of Agriculture, said he’s now ready for a slower pace.
“I’m ready for normal again,” he told KTVB Idaho. “I got up today thinking, well, I’ll never get another phone call for an interview.”
Instead of splurging on his funds, Simpson said he plans to keep things simple and “buy a decent van.”
He hopes to travel back roads, take photographs and possibly head to the coast.
Simpson also spoke openly about his past, including struggles with addiction and time in prison.
“I got in a lot of trouble with drinking and drugs,” he said. “When I got out, I said, ‘That’s it.’ I knew I’d never drink again.”
He said he has been sober for nearly 24 years and worked multiple jobs after his release.
“Ever since I stepped out of prison, I’ve basically worked two jobs and worked hard and tried to do the right thing,” he said.
Now financially stable, Simpson said he wants to help others dealing with addiction.
“Maybe get them grounded in something that doesn’t make drugs and alcohol necessary in their life,” he said.
Despite retiring, he plans to keep delivering pizzas on weekends.
“So thank you, Boise. Thank you, Treasure Valley,” Simpson said. “You made my life quite a little bit easier.”
