I've never been completely spooled out of line on my AMS before but this leviathan did it in about 3 seconds. Weighed just under 60#. My personal largest so far.

Glad I bought a chest freezer because I got enough fish meat to open up my own Captain D's. Also filleted out a few gar for the boiling pot. Nothing big, just good 36" eating size.

Hope these pics are sized correctly. I recently switched to imgur and still learning to use it.

Do you need a tag in Oklahoma? I shot about a 30 pounder last year here in SD. I will try to post some pic's tonight of my fish and my rope burned fingers. It usually takes about 2 years to draw a tag here. We had snagging tags this year, caught 3 over 70 pounds. Great fun also.

My buddy has been trying to get me to go with him the last couple times he has gone. Its hard to get away at night with a new born but I might have to make a deal with momma for something like that

Nice fish! When I lived in OK my neighbor used to snag them and was going to cook some up for me but we never got together so I have yet to try spoonbill. I think he called them paddlefish. Can you educate me as to the title of your thread? There's a couple words there I am not familiar with. Congrats!

Congratulation, those are nice. Did you save the skins? I always figured they would look good on the back of a bow.

Fine fish Cam. Never seen nothing like the first one.RC

Chondrostei = cartilaginous fish such as paddlefish and sturgeons

Rostrum = beak or snout

Awesome fish!!! Paddlefish are just cool.
