Kankakee Dogfish

I didn't catch one this time, but Wallydiven did! 

He caught the greenest one I have ever seen!

The fish even had a green mouth!

I caught a big ole carp later that day, but it broke off, so I'm not counting it.

The wildest thing I seen was fish swimming across the road!  Mom, the kids and I were in awe as we watched pike and carp cross the road!

Nice dog fish I've never caught to many of the but they are always fun to catch . What's with the green mouth and gill gards ? Never seen one like that .

I used to get the bone out of the bottom of its mouth and make a spoon out of it.

Awesome pics.  Me and a buddy fished that bridge with no bites for hours a couple weeks ago. Water was way down then
