Another Bridgeville angler lands a record blue catfish in Nanticoke

Delaware State News

SEAFORD — Not only are the fish biting in a big way lately in the Nanticoke River.

They’re being caught in a record fashion, as well.

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said this week that, for the second time in less than a month, a state record blue catfish was hooked in the river, during the midmorning hours of Sept. 22.

This time, the fisherman was Sydney McBroom of Bridgeville, who landed the 53-pounder that measured 46 1/2 inches in length. It’s believed to be the largest freshwater fish caught since the state began keeping recreational fishing records.
Mr. McBroom seized the big cat fishing from his boat, using a whole bluegill as bait and pulling it in after a 20-minute wrestling match.

His catch eclipsed a record that lasted just 20 days — a 47-pound, 8-ounce specimen taken by another Bridgeville angler, Chris Andrews — which, like the three most recent blue catfish state records, was caught from the fertile catfish waters of the Nanticoke.

“You use a big fish to catch a big fish,” Mr. McBroom said of the catfish, which stands as the fifth state record of the 2023 Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament. “I don’t fish for attention. I fish for fun. I fish for me. You have to go onto the water and put your time in. We’d see a mess of nice catfish (every time we went out). That was just our day.”

Mr. McBroom’s record was certified by Cpl. Kyle Wharton of the Delaware Fish and Wildlife Natural Resources police at Lewes Harbour Marina.

Mr. Andrews’ Sept. 2 catch had surpassed the previous record (set in April 2022) by 4 ounces.

A list of all Delaware fishing records is available on the DNREC website.

Bruce Springsteen announces new Mohegan Sun concert date

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have a new date for their postponed show at Mohegan Sun.

The band announced Friday the rescheduled tour dates for the postponed 2023 concerts. They will perform shows in March and April before resuming their original tour in August and September.

The new date at Mohegan Sun is Friday, April 12, 2024.

In late September, Springsteen and his band had to postpone a string of their 2023 tour dates so that the 74-year-old singer could continue treatment for peptic ulcer disease symptoms. One of those dates was in Connecticut.

Student News Service of WCU

GNA Staff: Past and Present. Photo and caption by Erica Thompson, university photographer.

“These small preserved areas of our natural world are the symbols of our appreciation and concern for the heritage of Chester County, one of the truly beautiful areas in Eastern North America,” said Dr. William R. Overlease — a WCU professor from 1963-1986 — in his 1973 “Remarks for the Dedication of GNA for Environmental Studies.”

The weekend of Sept. 23, WCU celebrated the Gordon Natural Area’s (GNA) 50th anniversary, which highlighted the efforts made to protect the forest land. The natural area was dedicated in 1971 to a science faculty member at WCU, Professor Robert Gordon, and was established as protected land. 

The GNA is approximately 126 acres worth of land, located on West Chester University’s south campus. This area serves as a refuge for native plants and local wildlife, as well as an area for people to enjoy nature.

In 1970, before the land was established as protected land, it was subject to proposed development of student housing by university administration. 

In an article written in Quad Angles in 1971, Terry Cohen expressed concerns about GNA’s land. “The 200 acres, known as a ‘climax forest,’ is one of the only plots of land of its type in Chester County, supporting an eco-system containing a wide variety of plants and animals,” Cohen wrote.

This build was halted by two undergraduate students, David Fluri and Brad Gottfried. A movement was started by Fluri and Gottfried for the University to recognize how valuable the GNA land was for scientific studies. 

Cohen mentions Fluri in his article, stating, “Fluri said that the swampland could not compare with what they have now; there wouldn’t be as many types of plants or animals to study.”

Fluri proposed an…

Angler from Bridgeville Hooks New Delaware Record: Massive 53-pound Big Blue Catfish Caught from Nanticoke River!

DELAWARE — If it’s starting to sound like a broken record, that’s exactly what it is: For the second time in less than a month, the DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife has confirmed that Delaware has a new state record blue catfish. Sydney McBroom of Bridgeville landed the 53-pound whopper – which measured 46.5 inches in length and is believed to be the largest freshwater fish caught since DNREC began keeping recreational fishing records – midmorning Sept. 22 on the Nanticoke River.

McBroom caught the big cat fishing from his boat, using a whole bluegill as bait and landing it after a 20-minute wrestling match. His catch eclipsed a record that lasted just 20 days, a 47-pound, 8-ounce specimen taken by another Bridgeville angler, Chris Andrews – and another fish, which, like the three most recent blue catfish state records, was caught from the fertile catfishing waters of the Nanticoke.

“You use a big fish to catch a big fish,” Mr. McBroom said of landing the mammoth blue catfish, which stands as the fifth state record of the 2023 Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament. “I don’t fish for attention, I fish for fun, I fish for me. You have to go onto the water and put your time in. We’d see a mess of nice catfish (every time we went out). That was just our day.”

McBroom’s record catch was certified by Cpl. Kyle Wharton, Delaware Natural Resources Fish and Wildlife Police, at Lewes Harbour Marina in Lewes. His blue catfish catch shattered Mr. Andrews’ state record caught Sept. 2 by more than 4.5 pounds after Andrews had surpassed the previous record (set in April 2022) by four ounces. A list of all Delaware fishing records for both freshwater and saltwater species can be found on the DNREC website.

Michener Art Museum featuring 1st Indigenous exhibit, ‘Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories’

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) — Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories presents new Indigenous perspectives on historic events in early America.

“We look at the way that art can shape and convey stories about history and identity throughout time,” says Dr. Laura Turner Igoe, the Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator at the Michener Art Museum.

“Showing it here, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, holds extra meaning,” says Joe Baker, who is an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians.

“This is our ancestral land, so this exhibit is really about a homecoming,” he says.

Baker is the Co-Curator of Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories, as well as the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Lenape Center in Manhattan, New York.

He’s also an artist who made pieces for the exhibition, like the Big House Post, made from a Bigtooth Aspen tree.

“The Big House ceremony was the principal religion of the Lenape,” he says.

Three other Indigenous artists are featured.

Holly Wilson uses sculptures to tell her story with a piece she calls “Bloodline.”

Wilson says she originally created it trying to prove her son’s lineage.

“Each of these logs represents a generation of my family,” she says.

Ahchipaptunhe, a modern native artist, created paintings “made in response to historic Lenape ceramics and baskets,” according to Dr. Igoe.

Ahchipaptunhe says the four works he created are “based on fire, water, earth and breath.”

“From the idea of the life that’s put into the pottery,” he says.

Artist Nathan Young reexamines the Walking Purchase of 1737 in his sound and video installation.

“I really don’t know what things were like for them,” says Young of his ancestors.

However, he says that’s what he would like people to think about, “being faced with being forced to leave,” when viewing his work.

“The exhibition is really intended to be a conversation,” says Baker. “It’s about really bringing back our contemporary voice to…
