In our oxbow lakes - not the ponds I post about here- we have lots of spoonbill catfish aka paddlefish aka Polyodon spathula aka Mississippi paddlefish. It is a total shock when fishing to have them jump entirely out of the water near the boat when you are not expecting it. At 40 lbs and 4+ ft. it will scare the he## out of you. Along with the gators , gator gar , gator snappers ,huge cypress trees, spanish moss and fog it is quite prehistoric. I will try to scan and post a pic of one of many we electrofished up.
