Closes thing to a shark we in IA, no bones all cartilalage. After the floods this years we had some Paddlefish move up from the mississippi river. The kids had a blast, caught some big fish Josh's largest was 72lb and my daughter Anna's biggest went 55lbs, This was cool took a bunch of pics of her fighting it in the beginning she was tickled, about 20 minutes later she wasn't too happy, enjoy!

Thanks, these fish are incredible, skyrocket out of the water, and peel some serious line off the reels. The kids just loved it. For the most part :mrgreen:
