After a few of those trips of breaking ice off my rod tip and having to break the ice in the minnow bucket every time I needed a minnow, and not catching a single jack, I began to wonder if he was pulling my leg. As far as I was concerned, they were unicorns. In the years since then, I've seen a few (only caught one myself while bass fishing). I heard they came back, went away again, and are making another comeback now. I've been thinking of giving them a try this winter, for old time's sake.
    Well if you get on them remember.... Pics or it didn't happen haha. Roll Tide

    I've been fishing Guntersville and the tailrace below the dam on and off for the past 31 years. Since I was old enough to drive. I have never caught a Sauger or seen on that I knew of.

    What makes them so special? Are they truly that much better than any other fish to eat?

    I've heard em called "Jacks" too.
