This is a picture of me at Lake Erie last fall. I was at a stream called Trout Run that flows into Lake Erie. The Steel head trout were starting there spawning run up the stream. You can see in the picture the masses of fish trying to make it up this small stream to spawn. The average size of the fish was around 20 inches in length. Just to the left of this picture is a small falls about 8 feet in height.It was something to watch these fish take a sprint up the stream in a burst of energy and watch them jump out of the water to make the climb up the falls.
Wow is it true there is bald snapper in that stream. My friend told me that they were in there. He wants to show me his aquraium. Says he has alot of wierd fish that need a pump to keep alive.
ReplyDeleteHello its me George again. Is it true catfish can get big enough to eat a human? i saw a picture but im not sure if its true or not. I also heard muskees or how ever you spell it will take your fingers off if you put them in the water while in a boat cause they will think it is food? Now theres some good questions about fish safety.
ReplyDeleteOh yea its George again. Is there such a fish as a chub? And how long do they get? Are the warm water fish or cold water fish? Do they grow pretty big? Can you keep em in a tank and would they die in your pants Helicopter helicopter yea yea yea.
ReplyDeleteGeorge,You are talking alot about North American fish. From my experience catfish do reach enormous size depending on what species they are such as the channel catfish.However they would not be able to eat a human.Muskees belong to the pike family of fish and have razor sharp teeth.That is why when fishing for them you should always have what is called a gaf hook to use to insert it inside their gills to lift and handle them. You can also use your hand inside their gills to handle them.They can make a severe wound to your fingers if you put them in their mouth but they will not condider your fingers food.Finally there is a fish called a chub. Its generally used as a baitfish. I like using them to catch Walleyes out of a river.
