This is what i'm after.  The rivers and tribs are starting to fish good.  Plenty of bass and walleye moving up to spawn...

I'm sure he put them all back right away, waiting for May 3rd to keep any...

Nice fish by the way.  Any nice bass too?

It was named by the same people that named the Youghiogheny thus the difficult spelliing and strange pronunciation. I don't know if that's where the dude got the walleye or not but thought I would pass along some information I find interesting. I always thought Kiskiminetas meant something like Sun River but Wiki says there are several different meanings.

It's Shawnee. Originally it meant LONG KNIFE. The Shawnee then used the word for to describe ARMY OFFICERS because of the sabers they carried. Eventually it became an epithet for WHITE MAN. All three describe me, so the moniker fits.

Try fishing for stuff most call "garbage fish" because those are the ones that put up the awesome fights and aren't always very easy to catch. If more people targeted so called "garbage fish", they would get a hell of a lot better at fishing.

Status: offline 		You'd catch me posing with a picture of a huge Sheepshead, or better yet a River Carpsucker that was fair hooked before I would pose with a big walleye. How many guys can say they targeted and actually fair hooked a Carpsucker? How many pics of guys holding one of those beauts have you fellas seen? Now tell me how many pics of guys holding a walleye you've seen? Countless I'm sure. Nice picture though Avid. I'm not knocking the picture or the fisherman holding the fish, so hold off on the whining and complaining those who disagree with my comments.

Status: offline 		Not sure what a carpsucker is, but caught a (guessing) 20lb buffalo carp on a hares ear nymph.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Not taking a picture, would have involved me touching it...  Sorry man, I hate touching those things.  Makes your hands stink for a few days.  Also caught a 20lb guessing again, drum that I did pick up to see how heavy it really was.  It was about twice the size of the largest one that I had ever seen prior.  Got that on a live gizard shad.  One of the largest fresh water fish that I caught, which is cool.  I wish that I got one of the drum.  They don't seem to be as slimy.

This pic below is a river carpsucker.
