One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Today I got the chance to see just what Quent does when he goes out on the lake working. After setting nets yesterday we went out and pulled the nets today and collected the fish that were caught in the nets. I was the official data person on board the boat and recorded each fish that George and Quent pulled in, Wayne was the captain of the boat and took us to each of the 10 nets.

It was a beautiful day out on Lake Powell, a perfect day for waterskiing, the water was as smooth as glass, the only problem, it's November 1 and the temperature outside was just about 50 and the water temperature was not warm at all. Not too many people out on the lake as November isn't a very busy time at Lake Powell.

After we collected the 10 nets we took the fish to the cleaning station where we recorded length, weight, fat content, parasites and sex of each fish. Once the data was collected Wayne and George filleted them for some lucky person to eat.
