Nothin but Fish

Most have little idea what goes on behind the scenes to help ensure we fish heads have something to stretch our string...
Today I had the privilege of riding in the shock boat and assisting with a shock mission on Lanier. These guys had already arrived at the ramp when I got there and had both shock boats launched. They were filling the hauling tank used to transport fish to the hatchery so they could grow more. This is one of the tanks that the Lanier Striped Bass Coalition in conjunction with other clubs donated money for and is used to haul stripers, bass, walleye etc.
We shoved off in the dark and were working in minutes to capture some stripers who’s services were needed at Richmond Hill Hatchery. During the process, weights, measurements and scales were collected from all fish captured and those not needed were promptly returned to stretch our string. The amount of bait in areas was unreal. The largest fish we weighed was 19.5 lbs.
My hat is off to the guys in Gainesville and Burton hatchery who support the entire northern part of the state as well as their leaders in Social Circle.
