Eric tried out the seine netting and the dip nets, but he was happiest with his fishing rod. Given how successful he was, it is not surprising. I lost count of how many Pirahna he pulled in, and he also managed to bring in some great catfish. One of his catches is a beautiful catfish that is now at the exporter waiting to be shipped home to us.
The other way Eric caught fish was on camera. He is responsible for the majority of the pictures taken this trip. He followed us around trying to snap photos as we all huddled around the seine net or scattered about with dip nets trying to catch our fish. Meanwhile, we are often so deep in mud we would randomly fall over. Then, when we brought them in, he was between taking instruction as to how to help us sort and care for the newly caught fish and taking photos of as many flailing fish species as he could. As a result, we have some great pictures of so many different species.
The Jen•Eric Journey 
With you guys catching so many piranha, did you eat any? Are they tasty?
Yes, we did eat them and they were very tasty! We also ate peacock bass, and (we suspect) Tiger Shovelnose catfish. The crew ate most of what we caught, but they made sure to share some with us for the experience. I think most of what we ate came from the market rather than the river.
