Episode overview

Researchers are getting creative in their methods to study and protect one of the most mysterious fish in Texas waters--the American Eel. Three generations of dove hunters get together at Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area to share good times, make memories and bag some birds. Farm-raised oysters from the Texas Gulf Coast are making a splash in the state's culinary scene.
