Appreciate the invite, and we would be happy to provide a brief update on the carp program and the crappie outlook for Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. We will probably skip the formal powerpoint presentation this year and keep it shorter and more informal. I am fully expecting some tough questions about livescope, so we will attempt to answer whatever questions anyone has.

As for the fish, they can be frozen, kept in the fridge, or simply kept on ice (if its only going to be a few days). We would need 4 things (1) the location, just listing the embayment is specific enough but this would need to be recorded for each batch of fish, for example you might include a small note simply saying "Blood River" in a ziplock bag which is kept in a trash bag with the fish carcasses from that location, (2) the species, so leaving at least one side of the skin or the dorsal spines attached, (3) the total length, so the tail must still be attached, (4) the fishes head, since that is where the otoliths are located.
Alternatively, if no one wants to mess with storing the fish carcasses until we show up on saturday, then we can come and pick them up from lynnhurst each day. If thats the case, my work cell is 270 206 2334, so you can send me a text letting me know you have some fish for us.
