[QUOTE="Allen, post: 184837, member: 389"] Great encounter and video! Paddles swim along with their mouth wide open to filter feed. I've accidentally caught one on a little floating jig with a half a crawler. Babe Winkelman style, right in the corner of its mouth. Granted, it took me damn near an hour to land her to the side of the boat. She was all of a hundred pounds and I used my electric motor to chase her back and forth across the Missouri up by Hoge Island. She got released after I marked how long she was on the side of the boat. Absolute beast! I've also caught them while fishing eddy's near Bismarck in the spring. They come in to hide from the current and whammo, they run into your line. About 12 years ago my ex and I had around six encounters with a paddlefish in one afternoon. For a few years I caught one or two each year on a crank as well (foul hooked). Personally, I think they are one of the coolest fish out there and they make my day every time I catch one! [/QUOTE]
