    Default Paddlefish in Rez?


    Do you think there are Paddle fish in Ross Barnett? I posted a couple side images on BBC and a guy compared them to a group of paddlefish he had images of and caught. Check out the image below and see if you can pick out the paddle fish look alike? I will post the other guys images later on for you to compare....

    They have some at Sardis....I saw a guy catch one in the spillway years ago. They have them at PickWick also. Some folks call them spoonbill cats.....but they are Paddlefish. They raise them at the National Fish Hatchery in Tupelo also.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I've had some buddies catch some in the MS river and seen some on oxbows, so I don't see why they wouldn't be on the rez too

    I am pretty sure they are around the main lake cause I have seen them up river from time to time

    I caught them in the rez over 30 years ago.

    I figured there were some paddlefish in the Rez. I didn't know that i had a Side Image of one of them. Below is the same side image I took from the Rez with the paddlefish circled in red. You can compare them to the side images below from Reddogg on the BBC forum. These were some side images he took at a northern lake and a fish he caught where he took the side image. You can actually see the bills on the fish.
