NO fish collected today, but blue crabs are cool too. I think we got about 30 in the lake and bayou I am doing my research in. The salinity was less than 0.7 ppt at all sites. Female blue crab first.

Just got done processing fish from tonight gillnetting trip, so I thought I would post a few pics of what I found dead in the showtank at school tonight. I did not collect this, but it was collected in a local bayou.

Thanks, I have not seen any snook here. I think it is too far north for them.

Did a little collecting today. The target was fw prawns. I also caught langear sunfish, bantam sunfish, and red spatted sunfish. I was angered and saddened to see a big longnose gar left on the bank to rot by ignorant fishermen. The net handle next to the gar is 60 inches.

Is this a hobby or do you get paid for this kind of stuff? Do you keep them for personal collections?

A little of both, and I keep what I have room for. All of my tanks are pretty full right now, but I always want to know what is in the bayous. Many days I just go to see what I can catch and just keep pictures. Sometimes people at school tell me what fish they want and I will go collect them. Right now I am collecting any fish that would be considered food size for spotted gar, for a gar diet study. The fish will be used to ID partially digested fish.

That's a nice looking stream. I've collected brindled madtom in that general vicinity, so your ID is probably spot on.
No E. swaini? That's odd.
