I was out yesterday for a while, fishing in town. I was dragging some nymphs and snagged this monster. When I say snagged I mean quite litterally. I have not seen a fish like this before. the head kinda resembled a catfish and the tail resembled and eel.

When I dragged the fish to the side of the bank I thought that it was dead, It hadn't fought or moved or anything, I thought it was a tree branch until I could see it. The eyes were glassed over and the scales did not look healthy. The fish was not moving at all and seemed kind of stiff. I kept it in the water while went to take my hook out of the side of its head, you can see it in the picture by the gill. when I grabbed the hook to take it out the fish moved, scared the crap out of me, because as I said it sure looked dead. After I got the hook out the fish moved again, but only a bit. This fish was over 24", and I was sad to see this one on its death bed. Hopefully it revives but my guess is that it wont.

Sad day on the river,

Greg
