I would have loved to have seen that in action! :O Oh gosh! Look at those teeth - oooo they do look sharp! I guess it seems it could possibly be related to a gator on an evolutionary scale. Whoa!

lol nooo you dont eat them…their skells are like armor and plus they live for like 100 years…so there isnt really any reason to eat them..there just awesome to catch :) H/O my dad has a picture of a BIG 7 footer he caght once….I’ll scann it and put it on here its crazy!

ames- my dad told me that its best to go fishin for them when its REALLY cold because they lay on the bottom of the river and what you basicaly do while fishing them you dont use bate, you just get a huge hook, spinnin luar and cast it out into the river and when you feel a little tug, you pull back really fast to try and hook it between the skalles!!..yeah my dad did that part lol

An Undisclosed Location | 1 year, 11 months ago (31 minutes after post)

yeeeah its not 7 foot like I said..but its near as big as my dad longer then my I know!!

You just have a spinning reel and a huge hook and you cast it out into the river..then slowly start reeling it in..untill you hit something that you feel move, then you tug!! really hard and if your lucky you hooked one between the scales..then you have to fight the little sucker to the bank, and you cant give it any slak while fighting it or the hook will come loose..

Hi Joy!

I never even heard about that fish, so I had to check the Wikipedia. It exists only in America, I believe it is related to pikes. You can eat it too ccording to Wiki, just avoid the poisonous eggs (roe). I know that some species, e.g. the Atlantic Parrot fish, has extreamly poisonous eggs but is eadible except for that.

Your catch sounds very nice. Some of the big fish, like Marlin and Sailfish, also gives that challenge with the line. Just a moment’s slack, and they are gone!

I wouldn’t go swimming there either, but that’s because it looks so cold!

It’s funny to catch the big ones! We don’t have very big fish in Swedish lakes and rivers, except for the biggest salmon and an occational old pike. Therefore I never go fishing here. A sea sturgeon can theoretically be here, but I’ll have to go to Russia to be sure of getting one.

Therefore I go fishing only in the tropical waters, because the big fishes are easy to get and I’m not freezing my a** off in the process!

Anyway, my congratulations!
I guess that this was not your last fishing trip!
