              I have caught them, especially common in Louisianna. They call them shoepicks...

                    I don't care for any bass, brazos/trinity is by my folks place so I might make a day of it.

                            Doubt you'll find them in the Brazos itself. The dude who caught one on here found it in one of the oxbows at Brazos Bend. That's more typical habitat for 'em. I haven't found one yet myself. You might want to treat for worms if you catch one, I've read that most young of the year that are brought into captivity die from them.

                            No interest in pickerel? I found them pretty abundant up near Sheldon Lake, it's interesting to watch them eat.
