Dr. Brian Graeb talks with Troy Goldsby and Matt Rayl about how one can take the eardrum (Otalath ) out of a fish. He says it is worth its weight in gold because all the information it holds.  It can tell us the age, where the fish has lived and how much it has grown or not grown.  Do bass live longer in the north? How long do your fish live? When your lunker bass dies will it float? He answers all these questions and more on today's podcast.
