How much oil would a 149 lb paddlefish make? Inquiring minds want to know.

I like the oil from the fat inside the abdomen of the males best. Those big females dont have it. I keep it separate from the oil from the flesh.

Those big one has a lot of fat. I live in an area where people come from all over the country to fish for them, I never have paddle fished but will this spring. A rancher down the road has the equipment for me to use so we will give it a try. Lived here all my life and never have tried it.


Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

It's criminal to waste good meat like that!

Best line reading that article was
"I'm a little feller and that fish weighed more than me"

Inquire to Cletus Richards from Apple Road Baits and Lures. He would know. I have used it in making a bait.
