tbayboy Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The way they keep looking at the camera reminded me of this bit of classic movie trivia (The Meaning of Life) FISH #1: Morning. FISH #2: Morning. FISH #3: Morning. FISH #2: Morning. FISH #1: Morning. FISH #3: Morning. FISH #2: Morning. FISH #4: Morning. FISH #1: Morning. FISH #3: What's new? FISH #1: Not much. FISH #6: Morning. FISH #5: Morning. FISH #4: Hello. FISH #2: Morning. FISH #1: Morning. FISH #3: Morning. FISH #5: Morning. FISH #3: Morning. FISH #4: Morning. FISH #2: Morning. FISH #1: Frank was just asking 'what's new?'. FISH #6: Was he? FISH #1: Yeah,... mhmm. FISH #3: Hey, look. Howard's being eaten. FISH #2: Is he? Makes you think, doesn't it? FISH #6: Mmm. FISH #3: I mean, what's it all about? FISH #6: Beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Kinda like having an aquarium in your computer. This would be good for practicing salmon identification. Seen mostly Atlantics and the odd Pink(some with lamprey) so far. Great link, ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Ooops sorry guys I forgot to place the University Link I added more info.

jwl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 just an added reminder of what the water really looked like teaming with fish in a few spots I used to fish on the St Mary's, pretty cool to see all the fish, what a great teaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I just saw a HUGEEE Eel on one of these guys. wow. That is a lamprey and yes I have seen some huge ones recently, actually more than I want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) That is a lamprey and yes I have seen some huge ones recently, actually more than I want to see. they have had huge lamprey problems for years in that area...right by the dam and locks on Canada side of the St Mary's is the MNR building, and a lamprey research lab...if you are fishing near there, there is a part that is open to the public you can go walk through and check it out and learn about lamprey's and some of the steps they take to try and control them..it's a pretty cool little thing. Also right thereat the dam the MNR has a lamprey trap, when I lived there about 12 years ago I would often see them haul it up and empty it..they would litterally shovel them out of the trap into big green garbage cans on a flat bed truck, sometimes there where so many they spilled out overflowing onto the road Edited September 6, 2008 by jwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Too bad there are no real predators of the lamprey in the great lakes besides man. I heard they are edible and considered to be a delicacy by some, well i don't know about that anyone try them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Snagging is only allowed if you're part of a treaty. I've never heard of eating lamprey i don't think they taste very good. Eel on the other hand are very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
