i met a guy that clears over 100k a year catching those dam things, know what he told me? NOTHING! :bash:I was wondering if these are like a secret such as other things! If i was making that kind of money i think tight lips would be a smart thing.

In the past 20 years there has been 2 times someone broke the 100k mark.

8700 is a big bunch of fish. If you went out 200 days, you would have to catch over 43 fish each day. I wonder if a guy would get so he dreaded going out after a while of that?
Read an article about the top fisher a couple years back, IIRC one of the $100k guys. He treated it like a full time job, on the water all day, every day. It sounded like he was pretty burnt out on the whole thing. I can’t remember all the specifics, but this guy was not doing it for fun anymore.

That looks like a chiselmouth to me. Squawfish have a different nose/mouth.

Supposedly some kid put himself through school having his mom drop him in the river at vernita and pulling out in Richland. Probably the same guy clearing 100k every year. That's supposed to be the hot area though.

I've got a few random ones fishing salmon on the reach, usually bouncing eggs. I've heard everything from cut bait to toothpaste for bait. I think the guys that do really well fish all night, and its an 80/hr week job.

Traditionally, the Lower Granite/ Boyer Park area was a top producer.

I caught the biggest SQUAWFISH I have ever seen yesterday. I didn't realize they got that big, I'll post a pic later. Thing was 18"+
I got an 18 incher last year too. Surprised the heck out of me, especially considering it was the first I'd ever caught.

The mouth looks like peamouth in that picture.. I could be wrong. I see guys kill peamouth all the time thinking there pike minnow.

Mouth has long slit for eating larger prey. Peamouth chub had a tiny mouth regardless of its size.
