[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1476353, member: 5412"] Yes, the ODW raises and releases the spoonbill. they tend to swim upstream in a current so are good to put into the flood control lakes we have in Ok. They stocked a lot of them in Kaw a few years ago to try and establish a fishery. I'll have to look, but they are not fast growers, and it takes tons of years to get to the 90+ lb range that have been caught below Kaw. They do not have a skeleton, only a few ribs, and some cartilage back to the tail. Easy to clean, and tasty if one is ruthless cutting the fat from the fish. I've served it at fish fry's and never had a complaint. BTW, Over the years, I've kept three, from the many I've snagged. I prefer to catch and release, to catch them again. I can assure you that catching two or three in a swift current and getting them to the bank to keep or release, will make you hurt the next day:D [/QUOTE]
