Sacramento Pikeminnow on the American River at 06_08_08

A good size (3lbs) pikeminnow caught in the American River last Sunday. Despite what I said at the end of the video, I did let this little fella go along with the others (see release video from the same day).

Caught a pike minnow today in a small creek in the central valley of California on a buzz bait. It was about 2ft long and more of a silver color.

If u catch the size 4 to 6 inches pike minnow.. they are hell of a bait to use for stripers! Guaranteed a 30+ inches stripe!

@leevwj4 pike minnow = squaw fish

[nick4seth]

you guys know that you can cut a chunk of meat off of those fish and put them on your hook and they are SUPER good bait for rainbow trout. they are where I live anyway

[leevwj4]

I caught one of these a while ago same size I always release my fish except that one everyone should kill these little fuckers because they eat the shit out of all the other fish in the entire fucking river especially young salmon smolts so I knew that although I felt like shit for killing the poor thing I saved a hell of a lot more fish
