President Donald Trump’s pick for the new head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has cannabis industry stakeholders raising their eyebrows and chewing their nails.

TJ Trout isn’t just a radio personality, he’s also got decades of fishing experience. Despite having fished world-class spots and penning his book Fishing With My Fly Down, Trout says Albuquerque’s Tingley Beach is one of the “prime spots” to fish in town, and the largest fish are lurking in the “catch and release” pond. He says he’s pulled a 26-inch rainbow trout out of Tingley that wouldn’t fit in his net, but he’d be surprised if the big ones are still in there with all the poaching that goes on....

You might even notice rugby players don't always fit into the typical jock mold.

This year marks the third season coach Dustin Soflin has led the New Mexico Brujos rugby club, and he says he’s seen a gradual resurgence of local interest in the sport since the COVID pandemic....
