For all of those who didn't refer to them as "Gar Pike."

The best fisherman I've ever known have purposely/intentionally shunned the limelight.

I have found tape worms in every species of fish I've caught at one time or another, no worries as they are an intestinal parasite. Even you have eaten fish in the past you've likely consumed countless black and yellow grub, I'd be more concerned with those!

Thanks for the e-mail link Ron. http://www.northumberlandtoday.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3138201 I'm offering up the next brown one!

My sincerest condolences Will. I hadn't seen this thread before e-mailing you this morning. The offer still stands.

Me, me, me please. Your post reminded me Joe that I need one of them fancy adapters for Chris' trailer plug, you know the same as the one you were using last year.

I'd be standing right beside Ron, fishing rod in hand if I could.

I respectfully disagree, the photo while not conclusive does show (IMHO) the blunt rounded head of a Shad.

I've been searching the net for video of "Billy Joe" Brian, he's one talented man! Give me a small venue, licensed and served at the table and I'm all over it.

Oh well I tried Vince. How bout in the Bay...

Flippinn TV channels last night I caught this on APTN. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=sgpJ0A6LesY Honestly I'd never heard of Billy Joe Green but I got to say I really want to catch this live before I die, I love it! http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

That would be a Shad. I'd also be willing to venture you were ice fishing the lower Grand River.

Nice! I was thinking of taking a walk down there this morning with the dog but by the time a customer/friend had left the morning was gone.

I'm betting he'll have to Google "Thill."

You might do better if'n you was to wear a proper fishing hat....

Solid advice Peter, thanks for the heads up!

LOL....I thought are chat sounded a little "choked."

It's all golden Cliff, it allowed me to retire at 48.

Seems appropriate..... The Rain Song

Pretty much what I've read in the regs for 40 plus years.

So not cool !
