In 2024, we had the most impactful roundup yet with some super neat science done regarding composting, PFAS testing, and learning the public’s perception on freshwater invasive seafood that was only possible with the hard work and cooperation from anglers like you! In 2024, we had 119 anglers bring in 4850 invasive fish, weighing in at 2373 pounds! The largest fish was a 7.4 pound blue tilapia, and a total of 12 invasive fish species were brought in.
This year, we plan on continuing the mission of furthering science and conducting another composting study using fish from the roundup. Registrations are still open until April 25th. We hope you can join us!
