I'm a double biologist (Fisheries Biologist and a Wildlife Biologist) . You would think that handling tens of thousands of fish (collecting scales, weight, and length data) during spring, summer, and fall lake and stream sampling that last thing I would want to do is fish, but is there anything better!! And if all else fails I can Legally Electrofish!! Oh, and I also ranch just a tad over 7,000 acres in my spare time

Powder River,

What brand of electroshocker unit do you use? Smith/Root? I just bought a used one that I will install in my boat that retails for about 5 grand brandnew for $895.00 from another fish farmer. Its a Coffelt VVP-2C 2000. I looks a little dated but I'm willing to take the risk for the price. Don't have to hire anyone anymore to electroshock and I'm thinking of getting into pond consulting along with the fish farming.

Ever heard of this brand?

Full-time taxidermist specializing in fish! I bet you never guessed!

Got a technical degree in fisheries way back in 1978 from Alpena Community College.

I also have four ponds on the property in which I attempt to raise trophy fish that I sell to taxidermists, taxidermy schools, and fish replica makers all over the country. Main harvest method is hook and line. It's a tough job I know.

One pond that receives the well water flow in summer is for brooks and browns, the one the receives flow from that one is for yellow perch, and the largest pond on the property at the lowest level of the property that receives flow from the yellow perch pond is a bass and bluegill broodstock pond. Some yellow perch in that one too which is where the big one in the avatar was caught.

I also have a stand alone pond next to the trout pond that does not receive flow from any other ponds that I attempt to grow monster bluegills in.

I do some freelance outdoor writing and used to write an outdoor column for a local newspaper. Didn't pay enough for the time IMHO and I quit that.

Here's a small stringer of white crappies I did for a customer recently. He had me do two stringers of three. Look good on barn board eh?

I'm self employed, owning and operating a wholesale and retail outlet for hardwood flooring.
M.T. Hardwoods West, Inc. Kalamazoo,MI.

To be honest, I think I'd rather be a pro fisherman or maybe a fisheries biologist. Would I really have to get a degree for that job, or could I just get on the job training for a year to prove I really do know almost everything about fish.....lol

I am a 5th generation owner/operator (Logistics Manager and everything else )of a manufacturing company. We have been making farm equipment (harrows) for over 100 years and in the last 10 years have moved into contract work manufacturing. Anyone have a Heat-N-Glo fireplace? If so, we made the grate for the logs and possibly the decorative front and the doors. Also, if you have a H-N-G or Thermorite wood stove, we make the tubular blower unit that the fire sits on. Also make climbing devices for Meyers power poles. (Hurricane season was good for us $:-\$ )

Hey pikeguy you made yourself look pretty tough yesterday when you said: "Well, I just told the boss there's no stopping me".

Vice President of a utility construction company that specializes in "trenchless" repairs to the infrastructure, ie: instead of digging up and replacing pipes or conduits a liner is placed inside, basically a new pipe within the old pipe.

It's an interesting business because it relies on new, ever evolving technology and allows me to meet people from all over the U.S. and the world.

Probably more explanation than needed!

Proctologist

Did you hear about the doctor that was walking down the hall of the hospital with a rectum thermometer behind his ear? A nurse stopped him and said, "Doctor, doctor did you know you have a rectum thermometer behind you ear?"

"Oh crap said the doctor, some a--hole's got my pencil!"
