Paddle Fishing is Fun! Update
Andy Bennett takes aim at June's SOM prize with this trophy paddlefish from the land of mullets and tank tops. Quad bonus points for the full ensemble of Gooch gear and another fish taken via spey!
Update: When a spey rod takes a dinosaur, we're giving it the prize for the month. Copy of Gierach's book Fool's Paradise is on the way!
Did he catch that on fly?

Yeah sure a fly with a lead body and 3 big ass hooks. Fished with a large upward twitch accross the entire holding water...
I believe I may have grown up in said land of Mullets and Tanks, as well as girls with really big hair. I can say from personal experience these are not caught, they be snagged...

YES I UNFORTUNATELY SNAGGED THIS FISH BUT RIGHT NOW THAT IS THE ONLY METHOD FOR CATCHING THEM AND WITHOUT THE SNAGGING SEASON MONTANA FISH WILDLIFE AND PARKS COULDN'T DO THEIR RESEARCH AND YES IT WAS ON A SPEY ROD. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING US THOUGH!
