Thanks Beats,had a good laugh as well!Bingo dabbers etc.

I think we used to collect them on the shores of selkirk.Neighbour had a cottage there.When I was a kid.

Thinking back now,they were lucky to my Dad!Me and my bro not causing trouble or some sort of ooops,while combing the shores for them!

interesting. i didnt even know these fish existed around here, but after googleing i find that they are quite common in the st lawerence near montreal, where i live. He sure put up a fight, tired the wifes arm out, i had to finish it off for her. when i saw it close to the boat, i thought it was the biggest smallie i'd ever seen

[Fish Farmer]

AAAAH the famous SHEEPHEAD "DRUM"

Take care of that fish, handle with care and live release gently, that's Ontario's #1 game fish.....In My Eyes . Give me 1 of those over any 10 BOQ Walleye.
