You catch these in the river here in Montana. When you catch them they are full of eggs. Anyone know of a way to "milk" a male and fertilize the eggs? I thought it would be fun to see a small one of these. I figured they would be too hard to keep until i saw this thread!

I know it is old, but they are about to start running this year, and I only get the oppurtunity to get the eggs once a year. Just wondering if it could even be possible to sucessfully to get some fry going this way. If anyone had experience.. you know...

Im sorta new to the MFk, sorry to bump an old post. Just saw someone asking for pictures and none had been posted.

Yeah I dont know how people can eat a fish that looks like that.

Im not even sure how people who claim to be hobbyists eat their own fish.

I cant eat my natives.....It just doesn't feel right..Kind of like cannabilism or something.

I see them like children.

They are hard to keep, you really need a large round tank. I have seen them for sale locally.
