Editor's note: This story was originally published by The Florida Trib. After a lifetime fishing on Lake Okeechobee, Justin Jones has gotten familiar with the herbicides state contractors spray on the water to kill invasive aquatic plants like hydrilla and water hyacinth. “Some taste like metal, like pennies in the air,” Jones said of chemicals with names like Glyphosate, Diquat and Aquathol Super K. “Others smell like a really bad cleaning chemical.” Jones, a 36-year-old bass fishing guide who
