Episode 105: The Brains Behind Barotrauma (w/ Dr. Steven Cooke)

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by Carleton University's Dr. Steven Cooke to get a scientist's perspective on the barotrauma controversy and to discuss the sudden distrust of fish science.First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: the danger of fishing in deep water; why Ang and Pete are not scientists; Ginos; why ice fishing content is hard to put on television; 40 foot wells; using drones to recover game; and underrated fish species.With those matters out of the way, Dr. Cooke joins the show! Topics discussed included: the role of anglers in fish science; the importance of context; Dr. Cooke's take on the now-famous crappie study; why barbs don't matter; jumping the scientific gun; whether catch and release through the ice is worth it; Forward Facing Sonar's role in science; the saviour of fishkind; Aaron's release method; whether or not fizzing is effective; and much more!To never miss an episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review on your favourite podcast app!More from Angelo and Pete:► WEBSITE► FACEBOOK► INSTAGRAM► YOUTUBEThank you to today's sponsors!Invasive Species Centre - Protecting Canada's land and water from invasive speciesColeman Canada - The Outside is Calling, Answer the Call.CANADIAN ANGLERS: Outdoor Journal Radio and the Invasive Species Centre are looking for your help in getting information about our invasive Goldfish population.
