I have made a lot of progress from the beginning of starting this 20 time project. I have already gotten together all of the physical materials needed to make this project possible. I have gotten a go-pro, new fishing line, hooks, weights, a boat, and everything in between.
Besides just physical things, I have also been able to conduct a lot of research towards the subject. I have found where these specific fish like to be during the day, and at night. I have found what month and times the most active feeding time periods for these fish are, and I have found where my best chances of landing a 50 pound giant will be.
Looking forward into the project, things that we will be needing to do include some regular maintenance on the boat, and re-wiring the trailer lights. So although we have already made a significant amount of progress in taking the right steps to accomplishing our goal, we still have a few things left to do.
Once the regular maintenance things are completed, all that will be holding us back from actually fishing and filming, will be the weather and waiting for the water to warm up!

Checking in
Garrett:
Sounds like the best use of your time right now is doing as much research as you can and prepping all of your gear. What will you be doing when you have in-class time to work on your project since you won't be able to actually go fishing? Also, is your research focusing more on techniques/species in general or is it localize information? Who might be a mentor for you? How will you document your progress until the get the boat in the water? Hmm.

first 20 time blog
I proposed for my 20 time project, that Kaleb and I would document the process of trying to catch a 50lb Flathead catfish.
So far I have had success with finding tons of information and tips for catching the fish, and plan to try multiple different techniques. The only shortcoming I have ran into so far, is not being able to immediately start fishing now, but having to wait tell Spring for the ice to thaw.
So far I have accomplished acquiring all of my fishing gear, including hooks, weights, line, boat, etc. I have everything ready to go for as soon as the ice thaws. I have also accomplished knowing multiple different locations we plan to fish. Fingers crossed, but as of right now, nothing has gone really wrong. So hopefully that continues.
Next week during 20 time, I hope to accomplish learning a little more about different techniques, and habitats of where the fish tend to be. I also want to restring my poles with new line, to improve the catch rate for a 50lb. fish.
