OK, maybe good to eat but I'm not ready to try it just yet.

I stick by what I said about them being no good for bait.

Jools, working on better pics and bigger pleco for ya'll.

texasgirl005, not good for bait or to eat so we let them go.

Got run off the lake by high wind before we had a chance to net a big boy, but they were there. These two that we did get were on the small size so no real effort was made to get a good measurement. http://alamoareaanglers.homestead.com/files/081006/DSCF0012.jpg #1 http://alamoareaanglers.homestead ...

Jools , Next pictures I post here of pleco from Texas will be with tape measure. My fishing buddies think Iâ??ve gone crazy with this pleco thing. Working on a 07/20/06 trip to Calaveras. Iâ??ll be in Florida for next week and a half starting 07/21/06. In my hunt for large Florida bass Iâ??ll be ke ...

I think others have answered about measuring the fish, but as the post is veering a little, I just wanted to say that it is interesting to see these fish and we'd certainly like to help ID different ones you may find. Thanks Jools I was beginning to think I stirred up a hornets nest on this site ...

Nice pics SWoodRuff!

Thank you, to all that have replied. I found this site when trying to determine just what these strange fish we saw in the water and catching in our bait nets were. I have only seen them in the San Antonio river and the two lakes that are feed from it. I asked Jack and Jason to take any pictures of ...

Was not able to get out on the water today 07/13/06, but some fishing buds took pictures of what they ran into. Fishing was good so Plecostomus took a back seat on this trip. Two Plecostomus were caught in the bait net, only one was photographed. http://alamoareaanglers.homestead.com/files/Plec ...

Shane, will take pics as you indicated next time. Should I post them here or e-mail them to someone and what other info should I make note of? CEfire, It is illegal to kill fin fish unless they are going to be consumed or used for bait even alien / exotics in Texas. There is a lot of them in the San ...

Thanks for the info!

Would taking better pictures of the ones I come across here in San Antonio be of any use to this forum?

If so what is the most important thing on the fish that need to be in the picture for a proper I.D.?

We catch these in our net when collecting bait to fish with. This one was caught in Calaveras Lake San Antonio, TX on 05/11/06. http://alamoareaanglers.homestead.com/files/Plec/Plec.jpg Here is a link to a video I made of the fishing trip. http://lonestarsharkers.com/Videos/WallHunting051106.wmv ...
