Ajouté : 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]Getting ready for another night of gillnetting. We're in the boat with See if we can find any living fish that have not died from the last fish kill. Going to head out there. Going to head right up to the bar. Somewhere in we're planning to set a gillnet way way way down down that river. We got a fish.

[00:00:18]Beaufort Estuary. It is a sea mullet. We got 402. First fish.

[00:00:25]Sea mullet 372.

[00:00:28]We just pulled the first net. We just pulled up 14 sea mullet. See stranded in here and just probably only eating their own gonads. There's fish still living in here. It'll be a world record for the highest salinity that sea mullet are living in.

[00:00:39]>> [music] >> Just uh pulled the last net.

[00:00:41]Two sea mullet. We're expecting zero, so it's good. Not a good sign. Just cool.

[00:00:46]We've seen two.

[00:00:47]>> [laughter] >> Let's go have a beer.

[00:00:51]Woohoo.
