Summary

We all know its critical for every fisherman to be responsible stewards of the waters we fish. But what if we were to release 30,000 redfish BACK into the waters? What if we were to put tracking tags into a large percentage of those fish so we can follow their movements over the years?

Well it's been done and we are talking about it in this episode!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Salt Strong Podcast. Disrupting Fishing Entertainment as you know it. Prepare
0:11.4	to laugh. Prepare to get to know fishing legends in a whole new and unfiltered way. And
0:16.9	on occasion, you might even learn a thing or two about fishing. Here's your host, Joe
0:22.1	Simon's, Like Diamonds. Hello and welcome to the Salt Strong Podcast. My name's Rich
0:28.9	Natalie and this is a really cool one today. I am joined by two people. One, you know, the
0:36.6	illustrious Luke Simon's the Chief Fishing Officer of the company and Cameron Canner, the manager
0:43.7	of partnerships. And we're going to talk about a topic that we can't gloss over. It's an important
0:49.1	topic and it's something that has affected Florida over the over the recent weeks and it's conservation
0:57.2	based. So we're going to talk a little bit about the redfish released approximately about 30,000

1:36.5	there's fish are doing. And so, so that other areas can use the same data to know what the best
1:43.5	hide is, what the best weather conditions are for release, what the best salinity. They're
1:48.4	literally taking all those measurements for all these releases and in measuring the survival rate
1:53.8	of those redfish to pin it back down to see, okay, what was the best conditions for the release?
2:00.2	And then other areas, they're going to share it, of course, with other people. This isn't going to
2:03.2	be like, exclusive stuff. They're going to share with other, these other groups like Duke Energy and
2:07.8	a lot of other these groups that have redfish releases. So that, again, we can just maximize the
