I’m a #sucker for you, #Valentine #ValentinesDay #fish #fishing #GreatLakes #

#Fish swimming in the #GreatLakes:

How many times have you thought about #fish today? 🤔

First day in the field for 2025! Today we were out “listening” for #NorthernPike we tagged in 2023 and 2024 in #LakeStClair with acoustic #telemetry tags. We detected two pike, both of which were tagged in 2024 near where we detected them. #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

We were back in the field today and were able to target some #NorthernPike via electrofishing! #LakeStClair #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

We were able to get out and do some more #NorthernPike tracking on #LakeStClair today near one of the sites we tagged fish with acoustic tags in 2024. We tagged 6 #pike near this location last year and detected 3 of them today! #GreatLakesSci #GreatLakes

The work of tracking acoustically tagged fish likely looks strange to people who are not familiar with it, but it is “mysterious and important”! What work of yours is mysterious and important? #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci #GLATOS #telemetry #severance

We had a surprise catch while conducting some #NorthernPike work on #LakeStClair today! #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci #Steelhead

Our large research vessel, the R/V Channel Cat, is back in the water for #FieldSeason! #LakeStClair #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci #Fisheries #Zoolander

It was a good day to be on #LakeStClair electrofishing for #NorthernPike and listening for pike we tagged last year with acoustic telemetry tags! #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

Today we had our first day of large vessel #FieldWork for 2025! We conducted our #LakeStClair forage trawl survey, with #YellowPerch making up most of the catch. #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

It felt good to be back on the #RVChannelCat yesterday! #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci #Carlton #FreshPrince
