Squaw fish

[A-con]

Also known as the "Pike minnow"

My brother gave me a "Barbi pole" as a gag gift.

A-con, did you know on the Columbia there's a bounty program on the squawfish. Some guys are making $50,000+ catching squawfish.

We have a lot of them in the old Bitterroot River. Make good garden fertilizer.

I have always considers Squawfish a catch and release fish.
Catch it, stab it in the head with a pair of snipe nosed pliers and release it at least 10 feet up on shore.
A caught a dozen or so yesterday, and released them alive out of respect for a friend who fishes there regularly, and likes catching them.
