I probably won't fish much more this year, but I have plenty of plans in the works for 2019.  There's still plenty of weird fish out there to look for.

Right on Ben, always good to add to the list.  Glad to see you finally got your Smoothhound

Quite impressive list of new critters... well except the smooth hound.  LOL

Man, I was catching some pretty big Pike Minnows up in Western Montana (Near Idaho)...  I'm talking like 18-20 inches.  Did you get any mountain whitefish while you were there??

Lol, thanks. Glad there aren't any easy sharks or rays that I'm missing now.  Still a lot to try for though, such as diamond ray, horn shark, swell shark, angel shark, mako, and thresher.

I didn't unfortunately. Tried drifting a beadhead nymph for them in Idaho but no luck.  Also tried for them in the East Walker River south of Lake Tahoe back in June.
