REALLY BIG! Haha. How big was the SQUAW DOG? I've caught too many to count over 20lbs at Shasta. I hate em but can't get myself to kill them like everyone says to. They're a native species.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife does not maintain a sportfishing record for Sacramento pikeminnow or splittail (which are different species). The largest pikeminnow recorded was 31.9 lbs and 45.25" long.

Mark,

Carp are also minnows. State record 52 lbs. Hard to catch and fight like heck.
