Episode 364 – Cobia, Tripletail, and Southern Flounder: The Importance of Bridging the Gap Between Anglers and Scientists with Dr. Dylan Kiene

This week, Conrad spoke with Dr. Dylan Kiene, a postdoctoral researcher at Mississippi State University and lifelong angler turned fisheries scientist. Dylan shares insights from his Ph.D. research on Southern Flounder ecology, discusses a new Gulf-wide Cobia and Tripletail tagging project he's helping lead, and talks about bridging the gap between fisheries science and the recreational fishing community. From acoustic telemetry to custom rod building, this episode is packed with passion, data, and fish stories you won't want to miss.

Takeaway: Keep an open mind, because anything is possible.
