It gives me great joy to see Frank Paruka still sturg-ing in Florida. He was semi-retired when I first met him 20ish years ago, and has probably touched at least 30% of the entire Gulf sturgeon population.

Lost a lot of good people today. This is just the beginning. Time to make your voices heard if you value federal lands, conservation, native fish.

New to Bluesky. Looking for my fish community. Proud fed. Care deeply about fish/people. Host a podcast (Fish of the Week). Long term: Hope dialogue about fish will help open up conversation about larger societal issues facing us all. Too many fish to cover in my lifetime, they all deserve our care.
