Flatbottom Boy Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The only thing I know of that looks like a catfish is a....well a catfish. Do you have a better description other than big lips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They are the dreaded Bighead aisian carp. They sit there and gulp water (filtering plankton) all day and all night....and grow....and grow....and poop....and multiply. In the meantime all of MDC is stressing out over algae that isn't here and undesirable crawdads that aren't here. They need to run a few shock boats through there a couple times a week and haul those basturds to a landfill.....or dynomite....or something. They are gonna ruin the bagnell tailwater area for sure if someone doesn't do something. To hell with didymo, deal with THIS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy B Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The river biological catastrophe of our time goes on while the authorities roll over and pee on themselves. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The asian carp are crazy bad up there anymore. I went up there fishing at night last June and it looked like the wind was rippling the water as far as you could see up to the dam all night long, but it was dead calm. There were thousands upon thousands of 10-15" asian carp feeding on the surface EVERYWHERE! You couldn't throw a casting spoon without hooking in to one every cast. Its bad!

Wayne SW/MO Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They say that Asian carp are above average in food value. If the gubmit would keep a little money back from the rat hole and put some into encouraging a new and probably benificial industry we might be able to at least hold the line on them. I suspect there 's a whole lot of people who would rather be on the river catching fish by any method than working in a factory. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Members walker04 Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I hear they are good eating? Anyone ever try em? I just biased because i grew up around trout and salmon, so carp was considered trash in my family. 30 years later and I still haven't ever even tasted it.
