Do you love big bluegill?
Spoonbill!
Definitely not a bluegill, but a ton of fun all the same.

Another issue that has impacted the Paddlefish population.......they are taken both legally, and illegally, for their roe...eggs. Since the Sturgeon population has declined, Paddlefish have been harvested as a substitute for this delicacy.

Awesome fish
David, I believe the Paddlefish are threatened in some areas, but not endangered....yet. Like some other species, the Paddlefish has been affected by man-made impoundments, dams, etc. Another species facing the same problem would be the Shoal Bass in Georgia.

Are they classed as restricted, or endangered, etc.?
Isn't there a lottery system for legally taking them?

Yep, caught snagging. That's how you do it since they eat plankton. I was able to hook into nine of them that morning. They are a very unique fish as well as excellent table fare. I eat a lot of fish and paddlefish is definitely my favorite freshwater fish hands down.
