My dad fished for paddle fish in Montana and in north Dakota. Their is like a big game tag i believe and he just so happened to get a tag in each state. I believe the season is in may but correct me if i am wrong. Also they snag them not catch them so that is unusual that you actually caught it. I believe that the two my dad caught were 40 and 50 pounds and the pole looks kinda like a halibut pole. If i am wrong on any of this please correct me because the memory is very vague cause i was so you. Any way neat looking fish and i bet when you pulled it up you were going what is that critter lol.

That thing is awesome!!!

It sort of looks like something from "The Muppets" doesn't it?   :D

Did it fight like mad?  Sure looks like it was beefy!
