I had heard a rumor about this fish, but figured someone was stretching it a bit. Every year you hear of all the pigs they net, well alomost every year. Growing up in Mobridge and then having a game warden friend who would come up and help with the netting, I've quite a few stories.
The funny thing is these pigs eggs are taken out of the system every year, so it would almost be like someone catching them and keeping them. Slots are a joke!

The way the river is here you probably have just as good of a chance to catch a good one here at home if you go out for a couple days in a row. Most guides out west focus on salmon. It's a long pull and the weather that time of year isn't the best for towing the boat through the passes. One thing that ruins allot of trips is the wind. Had friends drive out this spring and never got to fish a single day because of the high winds. It's a challenge that's for sure. The game and fish wants them wiped out. Folks can catch as many as they want, no limits on them along with netting. It will never be like it one was that's for sure. Sad
And a % is restocked as fingerlings back to where they were removed.
You see the cheeks on that thing?
