| Starting out the rescue with Lewis Jonas and Pat Harris... |
| We can see them in there... Let's go get them... |
| Joined by Jim Reed, Sanctuary Director... First catch already... |
| Hold him Lewis, let's get the seine under him.. |
| Now to the tank in the truck without losing him on the way... |
| Lewis has a live one, and he doesn't want to go anywhere... |
| Careful, let's get this one in the tank... |
| And another one... Lewis has the formula now... |
| Gently now... into the tank... Bruce Duffin helping Pat get him out of the net.. |
| Another wild one, get him guys... |
| Bruce trying a solo catch out of the pipe... oops, missed this one... |
| Lewis trying to lure one into the seine, this method didn't work too well... |
| Ganging up on another... got this one... |
| Jim said he had seen seven in here earlier, and they took out six, or was it seven, that evening? |
| And hard to see, but it looks like six or seven in there... |
| Hang on, here comes Bruce with another one... |
| And that might have been the last... Now on upstream to check some more pools... |
| Another deep hole at another location, Lewis coaxing another one into the net... |
| Can't see here who caught this one but we had a real fisherwoman (Dorie) pulling them out here... |
| Another big one goes into the tamk... |
| Another big one headed to the tank while the 'seine man' Scott, prepares to try that approach... |
| This one somewhat beat up, coming down the waterfall... |
| Pat heading in to help the fisherwoman looking lost in the jungle there... |
| And AHA! We got that sneaky one... |
| Dorie, The expert fisherwoman emerges from the jungle... She pulled four or five from this hole... |
| Now they try Scott's 'made to order' seine but it was a bit hard to handle in close quarters... They took four or five fish from this small area... |
| Getting late and the search was suspended to take the fish to the Missouri River... |
| The park was still closed but Bruce and Jim moved the barricade and we headed to the boat ramp... |
| And now Jim says... How do we do this, a chore never faced by the Commitee before... But Pat had the right idea, handed out the fish one at a time... |
| While the official fish launcher, Bruce, released them into the Wide Missouri... |
| Counting as they went, Jim says I bet we have 100 pounds of fish in there... And they delivered eleven large carp to the river... |
| Heavy slippery work, those fish weighed from 10 to 20 pounds each... |
| One more, will we ever get this tank empty? |
| And another smaller one on the way... |
| Now this is a heavy one... |
| And one more for the road... or, the river that is... |
| Bruce says... Here, get a shot of this one... |
| And another heavy one on the way... |
| And this one also a bit beat up from the waterfalls... |
| Kersplash! How many more in there? |
| Well, this is the last one... |
| And.. Mission accomplished, done for the day... |
