[QUOTE="Allen, post: 200632, member: 389"] I have suggested for several years that they consider allowing an "incidental catch" tag system for paddlefish in the Missouri below Garrison. No way, no how. They think people will stand around chucking rapalas intentionally targeting paddles. I've caught several paddles over the years by accident with cranks, and even one on a floating jig. Even then I don't think I'd ever target them intentionally, just seems like a waste of time. But on the very rare occasion a person caught one by accident...it'd be nice to keep one a year.

I think we can all get testy when someone outside our own profession offers up some advice. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] p.s. At least if a person were intentionally targeting a mountain lion, they'd hopefully be prepared for the sticker shock at the taxidermist. Accidentally getting a cat dropped in your lap that you could keep is akin to running your car into a power pole. Yeah sure, you get a shiny new paint job, but you ain't gonna like what it set you back. [/QUOTE]
