Native MN River Fish Saw today:

[ewurm]

Saw some fishermen on the Minnesota River today, asked if they caught anything. They showed me some of these fish, which they were apparently going to eat. They called them Sheepshead, and they are also called Freshawater Drum, Aplodinotus Grunniens. I wouldn't eat fish from that river, fish caught near that river, or fish that overheard me talking about that river. It's gross, and loaded with toxins. But, to each his own type of early death. Interesting fish though.

You only live once, and if your going to die it might as well be by eating some monster fish

You only live once, might as well die now.

Fish in the first pic looks really cool, I would not mind having that in a tank!

In about october I can catch tons of small 2" babies in the Ohio. The would be cool for a native tank.

I wouldn't mind having one, but not my first choice.
