I should have read the caption, eh?SmalliesNEyes said:Definitely a great pic. Looks more like a yellow bullhead to me, and not a channel cat.
Yep. Winged carp. I can't say I remember seeing those things around years ago. This was at Big Bend when I was heading toward the spillway in the kayak.EAS said:For once I wish that was a real shot, in the cross hairs, as sighted through a scope. Hate those bastards!

X2, worthless bird, I have no idea how Beck lake has any fish in it there are may may of them on the island.EAS said:I wish that was a real shot, in the cross hairs, as sighted through a scope. Hate those bastards!
Very cool! I could tell they are extra smart and trainable. I bet they'd even work for ice fishing.Brett said:You cormorant haters are so negative. They don't belong in your cross-hairs, they belong in your tackle box:
That's taken with an old Nikon 70-300 VR on cropped sensorKankRat said:Nice shot. what 500 do you have?
