Low-quality video of a shortnose gar in honor of high-quality #garweek. This fish was spotted in the Grand River (MI) during the @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting in 2023, which also happened to be the same week I met @solomonrdavid.bsky.social for the first time! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

I had the incredible opportunity to stock some fish by plane this week! Shown here is ~80 pounds of small brook trout being dropped from the plane into a lake deep in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for anglers to enjoy. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Little Minnow loved the ancient fishes at the Great Lakes Aquarium a few weeks ago! Hey @solomonrdavid.bsky.social, do you offer kid-friendly @garlab.bsky.social tours? #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Tagged along with my dad to an estate sale today and was pleasantly surprised by the small koi pond in the backyard! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Spent the last three days tagging, scanning, measuring, and stocking nearly 2,700 muskellunge to supplement natural reproduction and improve angling opportunities in Minnesota! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🎣

This apple didn’t fall far from the tree, my daughter was fascinated with the native Minnesota predators at the Great Lakes Aquarium a few weeks ago! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

A couple northern Minnesota walleye from a morning fishing with my brother a few weeks ago. Just a couple of several nice fish we found in a short morning session! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🎣

A couple Coregonids from our gill nets today. Cisco are an abundant forage species in this particular lake, but lake whitefish are far less common; this is the first one sampled in a gill net in the three years I’ve been here! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Back in the ponds to check on muskellunge growth today, and things are looking good! Average length was nearly 9 inches with over a month of growth left before they’re stocked. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🌎

I’m Kamden, I’m a fisheries biologist based in northeast Minnesota. I study the ecology of predator fish in inland lakes, and I’ve been working with anglers this year to start learning more about stocking practices and population dynamics.

Still recovering from a fantastic, albeit exhausting, week at #AFS155 and #BB2025! Guessing this Largemouth also needed some time to recover after we removed its most recent meal while conducting #fishpuke research a few years ago. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🌎

This smallmouth bass that was caught in a gill net turned into a big meal for some invasive rusty crayfish recently. In the words of Michael Scott, “oh how the turn tables.” #52fishyfridays 🐟🐠

Not exactly the prey species we were expecting to see in the musky ponds a couple of weeks ago, but always fun to see some small white suckers! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

Sampled a unique impoundment this week with the only channel catfish fishery in our work area! Not going to lie, it was a nice change of pace from the typical walleye/perch or bass/panfish lakes I’ve been working on recently. #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠

No fish for #52FishyFridays this week because my first Minnesota moose encounter was too cool not to share! This cow and calf made their way along the shoreline as we prepped sampling gear at an abandoned campsite in the Boundary Waters.

Not sure if this smallmouth bass had been hooked recently or if it got into a fight with a rusty crayfish, but it looked pretty gnarly either way! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🎣

Crazy to think that these little muskellunge “frylings” could grow to over 50 inches! These fish were stocked into rearing ponds recently to grow until October. #52FishyFridays 🐟🎣

I love an incidental muskellunge! This fish showed up during bass sampling last week. And since all the stocked fish since 2017 have been tagged, this untagged individual was further evidence of natural reproduction! #52FishyFridays 🐟🐠🌎
