Sorry but this is too funny not to post. BTW, I'll be sending the Gov a "Know the Difference" card...

His dichotomy is a bit off. I won't judge him until the stadium decision is made.

Well, come on - I can see the confusion. It's a fish, it's big, it's ugly. One would think, though, that if you wanted to catch one your entire life that you might be able to identify one if you saw it.

Actually, if there was a way to fish these things aside from snagging them I think it'd be fun as hell.

Oh Ya,.... Bow fishing those things would be a Blast !
A man like Dayton probably has some who fishes for him.....I'm sure he has NO Callouses,.... or ever broke a nail before.

Sounds like he's wanted to catch a Muskie his whole life, good thing. And once he does he'll never mistake the 2 again.

Mike, your gunna make me have to watch that striper video again lol. Funny stuff.

Muskie fever is strong but when you lie awake thinking of those big sucker lips and spend all your money on snagging hooks and white catfish poles you know big head carp fever is even stronger... lol. In seriousness though I caught about 20 of them or so when I went to Missouri on a fishing trip and they fight hard and some even do some cool jumps. Lot of fun but it just sucks they mess up so much for our native species.

I think they should let you skeet shoot them off the back of the boat. 2 people on swivel seats....one takes from the outboard right and the other from the left, that way no one gets hurt. Turtles have to eat.......
