    REDHEADS!!! Even more pics added

    Hey LUND, have you ever heard anyone say "nobody like a know it all". There's a reason for that. It's because the "know it all" thinks that he is always right, when in reality thats not the case.

    And its apparent that you are not a DEC officer, because if you were you would know that common sense needs to be applied when enforcing hunting regulation or any law for that matter. Every situation is different. If you think for a minute that an officer would accuse a 10 year old kid of "hunting or pursuing" waterfowl from the deck of a house that is a hundred yards from the water while 10 people are standing around drinking coffee and taking pictures, than its apparent that you know nothing about enforcing law. If thats the case then accuse him of deer hunting out of season as well, after all there are woods across the street! And just because YOU have never seen that many redheads taken in over 25 years confirms that you don't know it all, because if you did you would know that that happens often because those guys are excellent waterfowl hunters, i've hunted with them so i do know. Additionally if you were so smart then you would have asked how they were able to take such "professional" looking pictures of birds on the wing over the water? Thats because there were professional photographers there documenting the hunt for a nationally published waterfowl hunting magazine. Remember if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything at all.

    Here you go boys.....I still can't tell for sure with those pics:

    Tell the difference: Cisco, Lake Whitefish, and Mooneye

    Both the Cisco (Coregonus artedi) and Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) are found in Lake of the Woods and other lakes in Minnesota. Ciscos are commonly caught by ice anglers, while Lake whitefish are occasionally caught. Both fish make tasty tablefare.

    Many anglers have a difficult time telling the difference between the two species. They each are identifiable as a member of the Trout/Salmon family by their body shape and adipose fin. The main distinguishing feature is their snouts. The Lake Whitefish has a snout that overhangs the lower jaw. The lower jaw of the Cisco extends up to or beyond the tip of snout.

    Cisco are also commonly called tullibee or lake herring.

    Lake Whitefish can grow to larger sizes than Cisco. The Minnesota state record Cisco weighed 5 pounds, 11.8 ounces, and was caught in Saint Louis County. The Minnesota state record Lake Whitefish weighed 12 pounds, 4.5 ounces, and was caught on Leech Lake.

    Mooneye (Hiodon tergisus) are similar in appearance to cisco and lake whitefish. Mooneye are characterized by having large eyes. They are one of only two members of the Mooneye family, the other being the goldeye.

    You are most likely to catch mooneye while fishing the Rainy River, or near the mouth of the Rainy River in the Pine Island area. Mooneye are often caught by anglers using flies, especially during July when mayflies are hatching in the Rainy River. The Minnesota state-record for mooneye is one pound, fifteen ounces. That fish was caught in the Minnesota River in Redwood C

    Cisco - the lower jaw is not overhung by snout

    I was typing this as Tom was giving you the answer......

    Sorry Tim, but how long is reasonable for a guy to be in line without the cooler? Do you see what kind of problems can arise,

    You call me to tell me you have a good box "go stand in line b/4 3pm I'll be right there" but it take you 10-15 minutes to get there..........where's the cut off?

    It sucks but what if the guy that was 2 minutes behind you beat you out of the money and you were there with the box at 2:59.

    Next time get there with time to spare.......no discussion

    I feel for you man, but the rules need to be there
