Wow, really, 4 years ago. That'd be right about the time this report was originally posted...LMAO

I'm just kidding LTC. I had to though. I wanna catch some crappie with Smitty too.

NICE CATCH and lots of pics!!! The fish that your unsure of, is a squawfish. Im originally from Washington state and there a problem up there. They like to eat salmon eggs and fry. They have this deal up there where if you catch a squawfish over 12 inches, you can turn it in at special stations they have set up in most of the parks, and receive 2 dollars a fish. Not a bad deal. If you come across them, just toss them on the bank, thats what we do. Id rather catch a nice size salmon than one of those things. Again, good job NICE CATCH!!!

I'm jealous&#46;&#46;&#46;haven't caught or eaten crappie in years&#46;&#46;&#46;love the little devils&#46; You guys are a bit behind on political correctness with the squawfish&#46; I grew up catching zillions of them where my parents live on Flathead Lake, Montana&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;we have caught some up to 8 lbs&#46; The have been renamed to the Northern Pikeminnow officially&#46; This is along the same lines of the JewFish in Florida which gets to 800 lbs&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;they were renamed Goliath Grouper in the interest of PC&#46; Squawfish are indeed good to eat, especially smoked, but they are extremely bony&#46;

Interesting as they still offer the bounty in Washington because when salmon fry are heading downstream squawfish,&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;excuse me northern pikeminnows&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;change to a diet of 100% salmon fry within a few days&#46; Yet if you go to Colorado you will find the Colorado Pikeminnow is on the endangered fish list&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;go figure&#46;

Have caught them on mepps, rapalas, etc&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;&#46;they are quite aggressive&#46;
