This is the ONE HUNDREDTH episode of The Fisheries Podcast! In honor of these feat, we are offering 25% off our Teespring store now until the end of the year using promo code 25OFF.
In this special episode we take a trip down memory lane and hear a clip from the first episode about how and why the show was started. I originally planned to do a best of episode with clips of my favorite questions and answers but how can you pick from so many special episodes and condense that down to one episode. It was difficult but I did end up pulling some clips from most of our past episodes and compiling them in this special episode that highlights just how amazing each of our guests and the entire field of fisheries is.
I hope that you enjoy this special episode and we look forward to talking to many of you in the next 100 episodes! We would also like to hear from you on social media with pictures of you enjoying the show or our gear, or just tell us some of your favorite parts from the podcast!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all the past guests and each and every listener. A special Thank You to Brett, Julie, and Sue for volunteering to help with hosting duties.
Main Point: Share Your Story!

This week Julie chats with Dr. Angela Collins from Florida Sea Grant about her long history of angler-involved research, her love of all Florida reef fishes, and how being a mom has allowed her to become a "recovering work-a-holic". Plus we chat diving stories, our amazement over fish species that change sex, and a host of other topics. This episodes also includes one of the most harrowing and amazing field stories I've ever heard!
As a note: I let my 3-year-old watch videos next to me while we were recording because he wanted to say hi to Angela. You will definitely hear times when he wanted to be a part of the conversation.
Her main point: make space for a variety of voices!

This week Nick chats with Jason Schooley and Dr. Dennis Scarnecchia about their recent paper titled "Bowfishing in the United States: History, status, ecological impact, and a need for management." The paper was in short inspired by the U.S. Open Bowfishing Championship's visit to Oklahoma and the author's discovery that there was not much in the way of bowfishing literature out there for fisheries managers. They attempt to outline what is and isn't known about the sport and the species it targets in this paper. I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Jason and Dennis and their article!
Main Point: All fish deserve our respect and attention!

Sue interviews Dr. Malorie Hayes on her extensive work exploring patterns of fish diversity with specific focus on Southeastern US Darters and South American Catfish. The discussion also includes results of Malorie's collaborative investigation of lung parasites in Burmese pythons an impactful invasive species in the Southeastern US. This interview contains some slightly mature content in the first few minutes.

And for the grammar police. Orientating is a word (although a slightly British one, another perk of study abroad!).

In this episode, Nick chats with Joshua McGilly, a graduate student at Old Dominion University. He studies mycobacteriosis prevalence in Striped Bass in the James and Rappahannock Rivers of Virginia. We cover Joshua's path to get to this point, what mycobacteriosis is, how it affects Stripped Bass, does it affect other fish, how can it be detected, and can it be controlled as well as some topics about Joshua's personal life. Enjoy!

This week the hosts all get together and take a break from talking about research but keep the topic on fish by talking about how they enjoy fishing. We cover fly fishing for trout and small sunfish to Midwest reservoir fishing for crappie and catfish but most of the time was spent when Deon fills us all in on the latest rage: carp fishing. I hope that you enjoy this episode and remember, GO FISHING!
