Wayne SW/MO Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I think it would be very hard or impossible for a Neosho to remain recognizable outside of their range. That may even hold true for their native range. Maybe some took exception with the OK DW and took matters into their own hands? http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=25&articleid=20120506_25_B13_CUTLIN144325 Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
drew03cmc Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Wayne, I hadn't seen that. Without a hands on look at the mouth, I can't say whether it is a Neosho or northern. If it is a northern, that could suck bad. Andy

drew03cmc Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I am aware of that. If that is still the case, the top end size of Neoshos could be a lot bigger than is known. Andy
Wayne SW/MO Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Well in the picture it doesn't appear that the jaw would line up with back of the eye, it doesn't appear to have the common body shape of a Neosho and it would certainly be a monster if it was. I don't know, but I do know that there has been a big push to stock lake smallmouths in Grand and it wouldn't be the first time that some fishermen took matters into their own hands.

patfish Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Nice fish! Especially for being just upstream of the swimmin hole. Well done.

I know that marina's have been pushing for northerns but the biologist have balked because of the relative rarity of the Neosho. I think OK has stopped stocking smallmouths completely anywhere. Enjoy the Neosho's while you can. Some fool will put some northerns in Grand at some point in time and it will be all over. It won't take long to spoil the mix with their massive migrations.
