How do we capture large brood fish such as paddlefish and alligator gar?
These large fish are captured by using 150 ft. and 300 ft. gill nets. The nets are set free-floating in the water and capture any fish that is unable to swim through the six inch mesh. The nets are set late in the evening and checked on the hour throughout the night to ensure the safety of these large creatures. They are then transported in specially designed circular tanks.
