Maybe some here with NP mounted, they could make some measurements of total length and gape of the mouth. Cecil could also provide some of this sort of information from fish in his shop. He always has a pike hanging ready to paint. I am interested to see what size of fish these larger pike are capable of eating. If you are able to provide some data, I am making a thread in Types of Fish To Choose to put the data. Thanks.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

First, they tried to 'store' it in the back of Ken's pickup truck, but it kept crawling out. So, they ended up putting in the Port-O-John. They kind of laughed it off like they were playing a joke on me, but now I realize, they wanted the turtle!

We don't think they are pure. Milo is 110 lbs. and can catch a bird in flight.

But he thinks its funny. When the landscapers are here, Milo will start acting aggressive to the ones who show the least bit of fear. Then, Boonie will approach the same guy from 180 degrees away, so the poor guy can't keep his eyes on both dogs at the same time. It's pretty funny.
