The Fish Nerds podcast is the creation of Dave Kellam and Clay Groves, Clay Groves is our Chief Executive Fish Nerd and show host, John Crappie Hippie King is our producer and host, our associate producers are Jeff Danaldson the fish nerd librarian, Todd Corayer the fish wrap writer you can find his column at fish wrap writer.com, Tim Tackle Box Bete and of course the shiny gem in this stream bed of mossy rocks our Chief Science Correspondent Doc Martin.

We would like to thank Wally Pleasant for our show theme, Diana’s Bath Salts for our Fish in the news theme, Reed Mathis and the band Bird Creek for our story music, Tim Tackle Box Bete for sending in most of our news stories for this episode, Jeff Danaldson for letting us in on his big adventure to Alaskan salmon country, the crappie stopper Kim Burnett, Austin Smith, Doc Martin, Phil Taunton and all the fun, kind folks with the Emporia chapter of i vamos a pescar fishing education organization, all those who study fish, manage fisheries, stand up for ethical fishing behavior and conservation as well as those who enforce the laws and regulations that protect our irreplaceable resources and especially you the listener for bringing your ears right on in here and letting us fill them up with fish stuff.  Tight lines and valentines to you all for listening to my first solo effort.

Well what do you know, it looks like I just made a podcast

Bristol Bay

Quick throw back to Fishing Austin and Central Texas-Aaron’s spots are his favorite wades. A boat can change the game (as he mentions).  John Geirach in his 1994 book Dances with Trout describes a good paddle in his little canoe where he has a fine time catching bass and such back in the days before the surge.  Both the rivers he diddles around on are in Aaron’s book (Nueces and Guadalupe)

The Show-We are going to monthly.  We cannot worry about what other podcasts do or what the pundits and experts say is necessary to have a good podcast.  That’s fine for people who want to follow formulas that make money and content is dictated by what sells.  We could do an a-hole POV podcast like that guy joe rogaine or yet another crime podcast but we are hardcore indie. And we are about fish fishing and eating fish.  We do not follow any rules and never have.  We do not have a narrow niche, we do not have a regular format (we do have a loose framework currently) and try as we might we do not have consistent release dates scheduled precisely.  We are punk rock and while our production limitations are not the result of chemicals and ego they are the result of raising families, founding businesses, doing research and dividing our creativity and energy as best we can over any number of projects, in other words doing our thing.  And Fish Nerds is one of our things.  And so it survives and we keep casting pod and rod! Clay and his ever evolving merry band of helpers have broadcast this pod since 2011! So please enjoy the show, we have made all the segments a bit longer than usual just to tide y’all over.  We may get some bonus material done, we made not. One thing that never has changed is we got the best dang listeners in the podcasting universe and we sure appreciate you stopping by to get your ears filled up with fish stuff.  Now let’s get after it!

If you name your daughter Crystal she probably gonna be a wild thing.  It’s a pretty name but dang if i have known a bunch of women named Crystal all of which could be talked into a bad idea pretty easy.  At least Ms. Dixon had the sense to dump “Cruz” and ge the hell out of Dodge

Jeff: Way back in my misspent youth as an aquarist I used to keep and breed Ram cichlids (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi). They are very easy to breed in captivity, maybe Cruz was just gathering stock for a side hustle as a cichlid breeder!

 dinoflagellate called Gambierdiscus:

The dinoflagellates (Greek δῖνος dinos "whirling" and Latin flagellum "whip, scourge") are a monophyletic group of single-celled eukaryotes constituting the phylum Dinoflagellata[5] and are usually considered protists. Dinoflagellates are mostly marine plankton, but they also are common in freshwater habitats. Their populations vary with sea surface temperature, salinity, and depth. Many dinoflagellates are photosynthetic, but a large fraction of these are in fact mixotrophic, combining photosynthesis with ingestion of prey (phagotrophy and myzocytosis).[6][7] source: wikipedia

The teen's Instagram account, "fish_bandit84," gained a following of 52,000 people. Police believe his fish videos were meant as a joke and to gain followers. The teenager once taped a fish to a Provo police car. He caused minimal damage.

https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-12-07/advocates-say-a-mexican-startup-is-illegally-selling-a-health-drink-from-an-endangered-fish

Below is a wikipedia entry about totoaba and why it is an endangered species.  The damming and overuse of the Colorado River has changed the salinity of the totoaba spawning grounds.  That is severely affecting the totoaba population.  They are a slow growing fish that does not spawn until it is 6-7 years old. Also, the Chinese use totoaba bladders in “traditional medicine” which can sell for 20,000 each. Their own related species the bahaba is in very short supply so they have switched to totaba.

The big mouth buffalo is a filter feeder.  Its cousins the smallmouth buffalo and the black buffalo eat “stuff” like mussels, crustaceans, plants and algae.  They have throat teeth to grind food.  I am pretty sure what I caught was a smallmouth buffalo in full spawn colors

Dating Survey A new survey by Fishbrain reveals that women find men, who hold fish in their dating profile pictures, more attractive than men that don’t. Other findings:  - 22% of male Florida Tinder users pose with a fish  - 46% of college sorority women agree that men, who hold fish are attractive  - 25% of women found men holding a Great Northern Tilefish to be the most attractive, followed by the Sailfish CH-this was really cute and i wish they would do more from different areas.  This one is clearly very Florida surf and inshore species heavy.  What about New Hampshire or Kansas???

Hydrilla Invades Maine by Todd Corayer

https://fishwrapwriter.com/2023/10/04/hydrilla-invades-indian-lake/

Todd points out that hydrilla is a very tough highly adaptable invasive, it survives just find in a dirty fish tank with poor lighting.  It only gets into waters by aquarium dumpers.  It gets spread by boats if they do not follow good sanitation and Todd covers all that and more in his excellent article.
