I'm not shure where it was, I'll have to go look. It was a Monster. Back to top husebyc Posted: Sunday, June 28, 2009 11:10 PM Joined: 1/25/2009 Posts: 29 I went to there web site and didn't find it. Then when I googled it I fouund ones that weighed more. The one I just seen on the news looked bigger. Maybe the local news got the  wt. wrong. I'll try lookin some more a little bit later. Did anyone else here about it?

I mean you only get the full affect and the shaky feeling in your knees when you land the fish with a rod and reel.

It is a viable way to remove invasives like the Asian carp now invading the Illinois river. These fish are filter feeders and will not hit a bait, which leaves snagging or bowhunting as the only choices. Tom Fishin' fool in N.E. Illinois Back to top
