Not sure what Challenges are tied to the river exactly, but if you want to get those acheivements done, I guess you better get to fishing quick like.

If they are removing the waterway they should remove the achievements. If they don't want anything tied to Russia in the game then they should remove it all. I have never cared for that waterway but what they are doing is a slippery slope.

I meant the Challenges. Ooopsies!

You live in a messy world, get rid of all the European maps and replace them with new locations. 'Of course I state that with tongue in cheek', not ready to catch nuked fish from the rivers over there. (hope not for many years but who knows).
Enough of politics, the fish don't care.

A political move by the side that is in the wrong.

This is typical for what is happening today.
The people that are to blame play the victim card.
Ukraine claimed independence without consulting the people and with support from the west.
We want those sweet resources for ourselves.
Russia warned about this but they did it anyway. Now Russia bad.

This true story will result in me being banned.
The ministry of truth is here, George Orwell was right.

I'm thinking that they won't remove the Challenges associated with this waterway since they haven't done it before with other Challenges that are unacheivable after a change.

I doubt anyone will be able to get a christmas fish to pull your kayak the distance required since they changed the boat mechanics.

I think you got it wrong about Ukraine.
Ukraine gave up it's nukes with the promise from the West to protect it in case something like what we see today is happening there and I guess West is not completely fulfilling it's promise...

And a promise from Russia to respect its territorial integrity (1994 Budapest Memorandum). Who didn't hold up the bargain?

There is a challenge for any fish to tow you, Since the Ocean map was added and they changed the boat mechanics your kayak sits like a rock so even Nile Perch can't tow mine and you have no chance of capsizing it for that challenge either.

That's a bit of an exaggeration . I have been catching Uni Nile Perch all night in my Orion Bass boat and they are pulling me all over the place. Granted not as fast as before but I have a hard time believing they aren't pulling your kayak at all.

But the achievement is for a Christmas fish to pull you. You're comparing a 200+lb perch to a ~20lb trout.

I agree. They were pulling my bass boat big time. So yeah, I wouldn't be safe at all in a tiny kayak.

He was responding to "your kayak sits like a rock so even Nile Perch can't tow mine", which is untrue, as per usual for Bargearse. Trout can still pull my kayak. Not as easily as before but they definitely do, and bass routinely pull my bass boat, again, just not as easily as they used to. And thank God for that because remember when a 1lb bluegill would pull your 3k+lb bass fishing ship around like it was made of paper?

Nile perch or Goliath + kayak was amusing, though. You'd take off like a rocket. Unfortunately, they capsized way too fast to be much fun.
