I've spent the spring fishing for stocked rainbows here in TX. Did pretty good on them.

All were caught on either a silver kastmaster

Getting ready to begin hitting the lakes for crappie, sunfish and catfish.

I target those all year and open water have great luck using a 1/32 oz gotcha chartreuse jig tipped with a small piece of worm. In spring when they are in the shallows I hang the jig 2 to 3 feet under a bobber and then when they go deeper it is fished direct on 4 pound test. Most days I can fill a cooler with them since there are no limits on Champlain and they are all over the place. Great little pan fish.

Yep, I figured it would be obvious what they are. I really didn't expect the photo to be a mystery or identification problem for anyone but I guess by your comment that a certain "someone" is getting goofy again. Me thinks that guy has some sort of "issue." Perhaps he doesn't realize I have him on the ignore list? I don't have time for petty cheap shots so he is wasting his time and should just go sit in the corner while grown-ups are discussing matters.

Spoonbill (paddlefish) taken in Oklahoma river systems. Took second place in a tourney we had going. Caught this one as time expired. The winning fish was caught 10 min before this one and weighed 72 lbs. Mine weighed 65
