Actually, it was a few years ago. From what I remember it was a country road with a small bridge over it. Right beside it was a small (white I think) older house. It was early spring and man was the water mving fast and high.

Interesting that I got a rarer size, cuz I'm not that good of a fisherman. hehehe. I suppose it's not too unusual because another time in Galetta, I must have caught one of the smallest Gar Pikes. Probably just over foot long, (maybe 16 inches) with 1/3 of it being snout. I was sure I was dragging in a stick. I hooked him in the tough upper part of the mouth with what must have been a razor sharp hook because it never penetrated him. I just kept the pressure on constantly and pretty much dragged him in with his head up. Once he was landed and the "stick" started to move around, I was sure it was a snake or an eel til I had a real good look.

Nah, Just a newbie looking to be welcomed here. Ever hear of a Goby? I made another post here about a strange fish I once caught. You guys figured it out from my description right away!!!

Wow. That was fast! They shape is almost there, but the color was different. Dark grey to black all over, No silver. Betcha they can turn that color at different times of the year perhaps. Not that rare, I suppose.

Hi Guys and Gals Newbie here. Just found the joint, so go easy on me. A few years ago I was shore fishing off a dock out near Orleans. The fish I caught was unlike anything I'd seen, and wonderd if anyone had any ideas what it might have been. It measured about 8 inches long, dark grey in color, the shape could best be described as cigar-like only much fatter, but still uniformed from head to tail. The interesting thing about the shape was, well, the head was very rounded, kinda like a um, guy thing! The hook was taken well, but it tore very easily through the cheek. As I think back, it was almost as if it was all cheek without any bone around it's mouth. Very strange. I threw it back, but can't imagine it lived with such a face rip. I asked this question to other fishermen and the best they could come up with at the time was that maybe it was released from someone's aquarium. I don't think so, because it wasn't really a pretty fish.

Anyone heard about the Petawawa Sportsman Show? I went on their web site and it looks pretty good. Anyone been to it before? www.petawawashow.com
