What is Your Most Exotic Catch Single Poling?

[Rojo]

So today I went to beat up on more Crappie before the front moves thru but didn't expect a catch like I had today. I caught a Paddlefish about 4ft long on a #4 Eagle Claw jighead single pole fishing deep cover. Blue Pearl head with Monkeymilk Baby Shad.



I didn't want to take it out of the water for pictures, this was the best I could do with the jig pole in my other hand. I also hooked a Sturgeon 10-12 years ago. A big one. As soon as it decided to leave all I could do with the jig pole was Wave Goodbye.

Definitely an interesting catch

They actually target them up in these parts, and they say they only eat plankton and such. So they use heavy rods and giant treble hooks and snag fish them. I don't care for that action and try to leave them alone. Bet that was a heck of a fight on a jig pole...

Two mermaids in the same day, but both of them flipped back out of the boat. My camera was out of digital film so I have no photos. Still, it was a great day. lol

A cold! But cool paddlefish you caught. Thanks for sharing

We don't have those in Texas. The strangest thing I have ever caught was a bowfin/grinnel. It was about 3.5 pounds and put up one heck of a fight.

That’s pretty cool. Probably a pretty good fight I’d imagine.

Add to these ... 5 keeper Walleye (no pic, sorry ... they were caught before I had a cell phone or carried a camera on the boat)

Bud you will keep catching a cold fishing till you quit doing the Jimmy Houston with your catch.
