This week Brett chats with Paul DeRolf, a research associate with the Midwest Biodiversity Institute (MBI) about his love for North American freshwater fishes. Paul describes his start in fisheries and the outdoors, his MS research at Ball State, how he photographs and documents non-game stream fishes, and his push to get a standing committee revolved around undervalued fishes within the American Fisheries Society.
Give it a listen and remember: Share your passions and go get in the water!
