I received the CDC Man of the Year Awards today while I was Crappie fishing. Well in the same spot, fishing as Ketchn suggested (Bobber & Jig) working over some submerged structure I caught Speckled Trout (Saltwater Fish), Male Crappie with Full Colors, and this Paddlefish.

The spots on this fish look really cool! I tried to blow up the images so I could share with you. This is the second in my lifetime to catch. It was pushing 6ft long, I hooked it with one of my Rojo Grande 8wt Fly rods using the latest order of Varivas Braid. It was 20 minutes or so before I even saw it. What a Day! Releasing this fish was great, hooking it in the Bill made it easy to pull the hook with pliers. If you look close you can see my jig near the tip of the Bill.
