Dick G Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I will report further on the pond draining and fin clipping at the Kaskaskia spillway when I get back in town on Monday. Here are two pictures and two questions. How big is that smallie that Trent Thomas is holding? Both length and weight. This fish was recorded on equipment purchased by the ISA for the DNR, so I know the exact size. The second picture is of a fish I caught in the Embarras River on a Senko. What is this fish. I have no Idea. 1.jp g] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S. Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Is that a mooneye? What a bass! Looks like the future is good for the Kaskaskia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Is that a mooneye? What a bass! Looks like the future is good for the Kaskaskia! The anal and dorsal fins line up and the eye is yellow so it's a goldeye! What a catch!! I've never even seen one alive before, Dick. Congratulations. I'm going to ponder Trent's fish a bit. It's a brute for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S. Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Well, I was close! At least I didn't guess walleye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kast Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I'm gonna say............ 22" and in the 5lb range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat M Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 My guess on the fish length is 21 inches and 3.6 lbs for weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt k Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I guess 21.5" and about 4lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary L Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 The Big Bass looks to be about 21.25" Long with a width of about 13.75" and a weight of about 5.022lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick G Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 The smallmouth was 21" and 5 1/4 lbs. The fish was 5 lbs when it was put into the rearing pond last spring. Thirteen breeders were put in the pond and 12 were captured to be released into the Kaskaskia. So that's a Mooneye! It really smacked that Senko. I have never seen anything like it.

Gary L Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well I think I came pretty close to what it actually was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
