For you guys that have never seen these...This is my second time trying to catch one of these. I gave it a shot in 84 which was the worst year ever in my opinion, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Well, the last few years have been really good for high water and paddlefish running, so this year I figgured I'd give it a shot. Our season only lasted 4 days till the quota was met, but catch and release is the way to go anyway since all the bigger fish are running later in the season anyway. A big thanks to my fishing partners who took me out to do this, Dave and Cam. Hooking into one of these is just as addicting and calling in a coyote or blowing up prairie dogs. I caught three...43, 42, and 33 inches respectively from eye to tail. The big ones were right around 50 pounds.    |

They look like they could give a pretty good fight.
How are they for eating or are they just for something to do.
I've heard of them but know nothing about them. |

Awesome, thanks for sharing it with us. Dont see good pics of them often. I read once that they were in the Great Lakes but are now extinct from then  What do they eat mainly? Good eating? I know in some places they can be bowfished & those fish are usually considered the icky ones lol. |
| Soon the carp will be running the rivers spawning, get your bow setup for bowfishing soon. It can be done from the shore or in a small boat, day or night. Some of you along the Mo. River watershed could even get a shot at a jumping carp  c'mon I dont want to be the only one posting pics this year  Check your local regs. first of course. |

I'm not much of a fish eater, but these are really good eating fish for someone who is. They eat microscopic stuff similar to whales, so they can't be baited to the hook. A big treble hook, and a 4 ounce sinker about 18 inches below is all that's needed. A 50 or 60 yard cast, and four good yanks will hook you into one. A tail hooked 80 or 90 pounde female can take a guy for a good 1/4 mile down the bank. It's Miller time after one of those. We caught 11 between the three of us in 6 hours, and 120 total were caught that day...less than half the previous amount at that time due to the smaller # of fishermen. I'm surprised to hear about the bootleging of the eggs, though I shouldn't be. There's big money in the caviar they make out of these eggs. I'm glad they caught the guys. A few more pics.... This guy from Wyoming was fun to watch. He wouldn't be denied, and didn't give a damn...if he thought the had a monster on that tangled into a snag somewhere out there, he went in after it. At one point him and his pole were completely submerged trying to unhook his snag on bottom.  My partners....    |
