I got to see my first melanistic shortnose gar at Milford Reservoir today. We were out doing research on blue catfish and channel catfish with @KState today when this rare looking gar surfaced. Seeing this along with leucistic and piebald blue catfish in the same day is special.

Leucistic Blue Catfish are cool. Leucistic Blue Catfish from Milford Reservoir, KS are the coolest. But how prevalent is this mutation? Do anglers care? Does pigmentation influence angler behavior? We don't know either. Ask me or @BrettMiller89 in a month or so.

Does fish-finding sonar impact anglers? Angler catch of Blue Catfish was not influenced by live-imaging sonar in this controlled experiment. However, there was evidence that the use of live-imaging sonar influenced angler perception and behavior @thekdwp bit.ly/3uu6dMH

Pretty cool to see some of the work I had the privilege of leading being utilized as examples in R @DerekOgle51. Other recreated figures from this paper can be found on @fishR_ogle too.

Found this little guy in a trap (fyke) net while out sampling at Milford Reservoir today. One of the smallest gar I’ve ever sampled. #fisheries

Turned in edits to NAJFM for a paper that I reviewed, sent a draft of a manuscript to coauthors to review before submission, and set nets to run tomorrow! It was a pretty productive day. #FisheriesManagement

As my paternal leave is coming to an end this week, I’ve loved spending time with my little boy! I’m ready to get back to work and begin my fall netting season to evaluate the fish populations I manage! #NewDad #FisheriesManagement
