Ice time soon

Boat's away until Spring. Now, it's "C'mon Ice". No need to pack a cooler. Games of "Sounder". Anybody ever play that between flags?

Energy:

Glad to see you are back! You are just in time for the big server change.
Cross your fingers!

Ok, I am almost afraid to ask, but what the heck is "Sounder", and which flags are you talking about?

If its ice you want, you should have been here this morning. 28 degrees, can you believe it?

Let's do sounder in the real time chat room. Try it out. Here's a pic of a new fish introduced into a Maryland pond/lake. It had the authoritities upset about expanding up the east coast. I guess it eats anything. Where's my glove and knife?

I fought this one for about an hour. Had a Lamprey stuck to it that was about 16 inches long. The fish was 42 inches.

Nice one, Tom

I see a lot of lamprey wounds and lampreys on lake trout in Lake Eire, New York side. They never make it back to the water in one piece.

Once we got this one off - it tried to latch on to the captins wrist. Needless to say it was sent to the otherside quickly. nasty little things. The fish look really old - its face was all beat up - like a crafty old son of a you know what. To old and to big to eat. Got the photos and then put it out of its misery.

Hey Energy, they called them **** things snakeheads. Apparently some fish store guy dumped a few into a pond and they started eating everything. It was said that they are amphibious too, that's why the concern. The DNR called in some help to exterminate. They even drained the pond and put chemicals out to kill them off. What a situation. Haven't heard of them since, but I won't go anywhere near that pond!

Bad enough for sure

Couldn't find anything about being amphibious.........A couple of pics make it look like an eel, so maybe it's true. It's not often when authorities tell you how to kill a species. I don't need any lessons!!

They do live a long time out of water

Couldn't find anything about being amphibious..

They are like a catfish and can breath air for some time. Don't see any "walking" fins. This species has, though!

I ran across this pic from a business trip in Mexico-Cancun. That small patch of black on my head has long since departed.
