Just don't eat it SW... I don't want to see you go out like that HAHA

That's a scary thought. That fish is probably 15-20 years old, if not older. Ain't going out like that

Beautiful fish. I just started fishing the Potomac. I am hopeful to be able to hook into something like that in the future.....and a snakehead too.

 

Were you on the bank when you pulled that thing in?

Thanks. The Potomac is a very fishy river.

 

Yes, this fish was caught bank fishing.

I need to come fish with you! I like the cut of your gib.

Ha... thanks. I don't know if I've ever received that compliment before. I'm up for some fishing.

DUDE!

 

That's awesome! I dig big fish, regardless of species.

Right on. I feel the same way. This fish would have been fun on any tackle.

Blues grow really fast.  I doubt if it is half that age.  Apex predator that the MD DNR wants out of the Potomac River.  We love them.

I guess my point is that I wouldn't want to eat any fish that's been living for years in upper stretches of the tidal Potomac, whether it be 20 or just 5 years. I hear they're tasty though

I did eat a channel cat that I caught off of Chapman SP once. It tasted ok and I lived.

Blues are one of the best tasting cats.  When they are a predator and not a scavenger,  it makes for a better tasting meat.   It is recommended that you don't eat anything larger than 33" because of the toxin build up.  Low twenties are perfect.
