Spring is the time for love and fishing, and every year the warm spring rains that swell the banks of Oklahoma's Neosho River stir the romantic desires of an obscure, odd-looking fish most folks have never heard of. But for those who have, the annual paddlefish spawning run is an event unlike any other. It's a chance to rub elbows, swap stories and tangle lines with fellow paddlefish junkies from across the country.

I remember when I was a kid and our family would go camping for a week just to snaggin' spoonbills. I had so much fun. Reading this makes me want to do it again.
Snagging glorified? Really? Tossing all those hooks, lead and line into the water? Really? Is this some kind of weird joke? Wow...
I'll stick to trout, or any fish that actually eats my presentation for that matter.
zrr45,
They are filter feeders and do not strike lures or take baits. Don't knock it until you try it.
