Yep, They get big I have seen them 2 feet plus. There are also lots of
smaller mudpuppies in the creek with the external gills, and lots of brown
water snakes that are mean as hell. I saw an idiot high school kid pick one
up by the tail like the Croc Hunter Steve Erwin does. It bit the crap out of
him. My side hurt I was laughing so hard. He was trying to impress his girl
friend who he was swimming with. It is still funny now 4 years later.
If we do it in late July the YOY fish will be around. A lot of people on the
list seem to like grass pickerel and they will be in abundance, as well as
baby yellow bullheads, bass, black crappie, rock bass, emerald shiners, red
horse, hog suckers, varigated darters, long nose darters, black banded
darters, and other things I can not think of right now.
I will be acting as the guide, and not collecting. I will however be taking
lots of pictures. Photography is my other passion in life.
