How did you catch them?
Snagging. Its the only way to catch them, they are filter feeders and wont take a lure or bait. We were in Ky where it's legal.
Cool. They really eat good huh????
Excellent eating,,,nice catch!
Had them hickory smoked on a cracker with cream cheese...ummmmmm Nice pics
I knew they wouldn't take a lure or bait didn't know if you netted them or snagged them. We used to catch em in nets in Missouri when I was a kid. I still remember cleaning them. There aren't any bones just like a cartilage type spine.
Taste wise, what do they compare to? Nice job, BTW!
Chicken---- ha ha
Ummmm. What is it?
I wanna know alsoQuote:

Yes they are spoonbill/paddlefish.
Probably tastes like sturgeon since they are related. Is it oily? Do you have to parboil it?
I love me some snagging never snaged a spoon bill though we got a salmon snag season up here its a blast talk about a fight nice job nick!!!:highfive
Salmon snagging should be outlawed.
Nope if its snagging time they better not be by my hook:biggrin
You should really give crank baits or bobber & skein a try. Lots more fun and effective if you haven't tried it. Fishing for salmon has come a long ways.
That's the most paddlefish I've ever seen anyone catch. What the limit on them? KY - MO?
Limit in ky is 2 except where we were below the Ky lake dam in the Tennessee river the limit is 8 per person. Mean green and myself both had our 8.
Yeah, and I am still sore!
you catch them this year in Il?
I have caught some and fried them up. There are just ok tasting in my opinion.
Wow, Wow, and Good job! In Il. we are only allowed "2" I don't like to eat fish but if I did this would be my choice, no bones and after you get rid of the red meat, they're good! NICE CATCH!
nice catch
