Have y'all ever caught one of these?

While at Pickwick we caught several bass while bream fishing. I got a surprise with this onehttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/herana4u.jpgit had a leach attached to the top of its head, i did not know they grew that big. This blood sucker was huge! I did the green carp a favor and pulled it loose before I released him. It had been on him for a while because when i pulled it loose there was no scales underneath it, only a raw bleed sore. Here's a close up of the leach eeewww! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/05/20/esuhasyt.jpg

I can't see the pics.

Pretty neat pics.........but no I have never caught a fish with one attached to it

Good thang I done ate

See Creekslick for more info. I think he even has one of those mounted. He may hold the AR state record as well.

My God! That looks like something from outer space.

How do lamprey eels taste? GDG will cook that thang if you behead, and skin it!!! ;)

Back I the day we had a cabin up there and over the years I've seen Maybe 4 or 5
The biggest bout the size of a cig.
That thing is Nasty!!!

Taste like chitterlings, I mean chicken!

I caught a stripe off the SE point of goat island with one of those suckers on it a few weeks ago. Left a spot about the size of a nickel on its side. The look evil don't they?

Yes, that thing was wrapping around my wrist as I pulled it off. I would think a fish would be much too fast for one to get attached to it. Shows how much I know!

I will cook about anything but I gotta draw the line on that one Bill. Dayyyyyeeeem thats ugly

looks like a lamprey eel

Awwww come on. I figure with its head off and skinned, it'll look like rattlesnake or sumptin. :)

Bet they don't smell as bad chitterlings when ya cook em.

:Rofl We get those things up here in the Finger Lakes off trout that come out of deep water.

I've seen them 3.5 feet long and about 6 inches around. The marks they leave on fish are the size of the bottom of a beer bottle.

Wow! One of those that size would put a hurtin on KDavid. It would have him bled out in about 20 minutes.

seen them 2ft long on Pickwick. Some coves on the main lake are filled with those suckers..
