Paddle Fish : Polyodon spathula

Thats cool man. When I was in Mississippi I was working a job by the river. The fishermen would come by and pull their nets every morning. It was crazy the sizes of some of the paddlefish they would pull up. HUGE!! One almost knocked one of the guys out of the boat. Ironic thing was that they threw most of them back. . . 
Where did you get them? I've always wanted to get some and try them. Just didn't know they were available!!! Plus the whole filterfeeding aspect. . .

In some places paddlefish are still harvested in season, I say harvested becuase there is not much sport in snagging a fish as it swims in shallow water to spawn.
