I've noticed a few comments on the fish handling, if you notice they have to toss the fish to get past the edge of the net. Yes, they could pass the fish in a congo line, but one of the top factors in delayed mortality is time out of the water which would be extended if they needed to hand the walleye to someone who could then release it outside of their net spread. They have been doing this since before I was born, I'm going to assume they know better then most of the keyboard fisheries biologists, haha.

Why would you use brood stock that are not the best possible specimens? If fish from other lakes are growing at up to 4 times as fast (5: 24 timestamp, why in the world would you not use those faster growing fish for, essentially, a put-and-take program? Not trying to be a wise guy. I'm sure the biologists have good reasoning. I'd love to know.

Good stuff Jay I learned a lot I definitely will be throwing the females back I sent this vid to my 13 year old son so he understands why we throw back the spawning females although the places we fish in ND and SD have great fisheries like devils lake etc but its important to stick to the slot limits for a reason thanks again

In Ohio the fisheries biologists and hatchery workers would mix the eggs and milk with an eagle feather. Their rationale was interesting saying its the best natural way to preserve eggs while fertilizing them. They also cleaned the eggs with an iodine barge to kill any parasites.

Great video. this brought back fond memories of doing this very same work in Northern Alberta in the late 1970s. A great summer job experience (except for dealing with all the hundreds of spawning suckers each day. our hoop traps would be chucked full of them.

I was surprised when the guy stirred the eggs and milt with his hands. I've seen many videos where they use turkey feathers for stirring them. Apparently the eggs aren't as fragile as most think. Great video Jay! Very informative.

Super cool. I used to volunteer at a hatchery in southern Ontario working with rainbow and Browns. There is so much behind the scenes work. I miss it and wish there were more opportunities to volunteer up here in nwo.

Hmm I'm trying to understand why he's tossing them back that way? I mean I'm sure it's not effecting them but like why do it like that? Why not just drop? The 720 spinning toss technique is unusual
