They only show up down here in the late summer when the river drops. Where do they go after that? any good tips on catching them when they are not seen? I mean i know they hang around they legs of rigs and floating stuff etc. But there is gotta be a way to target them. These fish are somewhat new to me.

Nobody really knows a whole lot about these fish even the bologist dont know much. All i have ever heard is that they are a prehistoric pelagic fish. They show up every year in the gulf but nodody really knows where they come from. We start seeing them show up usally around late april and they stay around till about october.

We weighed her in last night at Cajun Fast Mart it weighed 32lb.'s on water. And 30.8 at Cajun Fast mart. Getting it mounted now- It was on my chronarch with 12lb. berkley big game also. It took well over 30 minutes, to FINESSE her in the net, and yes every one on the boat was just a little nervous after we first saw her.

"I wish I had a liter kept going threw my head the whole time I fought it her to."

Definetly an unusual fish, but man, that is got to be one of the best tasting fish there is.

Sweet tasting meet-tasty
