#5 || Dr. Bruce Tufts: Why Big Fish Matter
Manage episode 411457774 series 3554215
Liam and Gord sit down this week with Dr. Bruce Tufts, who heads up the prestigious Freshwater Fisheries Conservation Lab at Queen’s University. Tufts explains why big walleye, bass, trout, northern pike and muskies are the rock stars of the fishing world. A 12-pound female walleye, for example, lays exponentially more eggs than three four-pound female walleye. The eggs are bigger, more nutritious, more viable and hatch earlier leading to the best year classes. And that is just for starters. The behaviour of big fish will leave you amazed.
