For 17 years, colleagues Gus Carlo (left), John Flowers and Rick Bevins make the trip to Gavins Point Dam to find out who
can catch the most species of fish. All three have been faculty members at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Psychology
Department. Flowers is now retired, Bevins is department chair, and Carlo recently accepted a position with the University of
Missouri, but he continues to return to Nebraska for this annual competition.
