Have you guys caught unusual fish in paylakes? I mean fish that are not normally stocked on purpose, like pacu or bighead carp.

Eels can crawl overland a little bit - I know because they'll get out and crawl overland to get around the dams on the Mississippi sometimes. I've seen a couple on wet nights. My uncle says there used to be so many they would leave a slime trail that you could see in the morning.
Makes sense that they could end up almost anywhere, as long as it is near flowing water.
Cool fish, eels. They lay their eggs in the Sargasso sea, and then the babies, that look like leaves, have to swim back to river mouths, where they metamorphose into little eels and swim upstream and get big.

dinkslayer - You caught a paddlefish in a paylake? I guess it is possible they were stocked in there - some fish farmers now have paddlefish. How do you think those fish get into the lake?

My daughter caught a 3 or 4 pound izzy, at Lake Remington
An American eel is Probably what you caught. They are in the Ohio river and some of it's tributary's I did A 16 page report in my Fish 1 class. Didn't know there was info on them. If I am not mistaken I believe that there eggs are consider low end caviar.
My dog caught a 5 lb turtle out of Lake Remington, drug it out by its back leg.

Sorry - scuze my ignorance of the lingo. What is an izzy? Gizzard shad? An 8 pound gizzard shad would be some kind of mega-record, though. Ah - I think I got it - Israeli carp? The ones with a few gimungous scales?
I can figure out some of these. I figure bullheads are yellowbellies, and flatheads are shovels. I need a translation key! Paylakers have a different lingo, for sure.
