Today on the Columbia
« on: February 21, 2010, 05:17:56 PM »
Today we hit the Columbia right off the bank by hydro launch for some wally's. there was about 6 boats passing through the hole and not too much luck passed around. We got a few nibbles, soft bites, nothing too brave. Werent paying attention for a minute and turned around and we hooked into a pikeminnow. got one out of the river.

Sorry man but that is no Pike Minnow. That is a Pea Mouth or also called a Sucker. Pike Minnow has a larger mouth. I grew up on the Columbia and Squaw Fished every summer and made dang good money doing it.

Pea Mouth, Pike Minnow has a big mouth.  Like Hunt-Hard I used to fish for squaws every summer for cash back in the day.  I have seen way to many pike's and that unfortionatly is a peamouth sucker.

 I would agree that that is no pikeminnow.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

that is most likely a large scale sucker, maybe bridgelip sucker but definately not a Northern pikeminnow (squawfish) I caught plenty of both of them this last summer! Anyone gettin any walleyes in the wanapum or priest rapids pools? I havent looked at the regs is there a season for them in there?
