These fish are thriving in Oklahoma, I guide Clients to Paddlefish from December 1st-April 30th every year. Over the 5yrs of BZ Guide Service our fish population has grown thanks to Oklahoma Wildlife Department.

Great video but I'm not a big fan of the music used on this one. The old one was way better.

I am just fascinated by these creatures! They are truly rare animals. Also i am amazed that people are still aloud to fish for them. I love your channel. I love watching these bizarre happenings in which include cool and mysterious fish and animals.

Looks like Pinocchio got frisky with a whale shark and had this.

Very prehistoric, what was the record?

[joeroy]

You know how they fish for these? They use heavy lines and sinkers and big hooks and they cast and real cast and real until they snag one they don't "bite" hooks

[ESPNsPeacockbassProfessor]

had no idea it was a filter feeder, so what was the bait.. Plankton? lol

[madhatten]

their mouths are gigantic, i think they got one in the california academy of sciences

[iLiveForTheTruth]

Wow, I've been watching your videos and there is so much complexity and diversity to these creatures. Yet you talk about how you still believe in millions of years without looking at these creatures. Thanks for these vids though, they are facinating

[seedot]

Definitely the ability to see more electromagnetic waves other than visible light

[Petboy]

You sound like the guy from the king of random

[MrBananaGrabbr]

My sixth sense would be to be able to sense the number of senses possessed by any organism.

[sq_uids]

Please tell me that that is a American paddlefish cuz if it's a Chinese paddlefish imma be so pissed

[jdg]

What if we had like another life that when we sleep we would turn into other nocturnal animals but on a diffrent world?

[marksolarz]

Mostly plankton eaters, related to even in the Great Lakes. Rare to catch, snag or netted.

[tyvonable]

my sixth sense would be, that i could sense natural disasters coming way before it happens. 

[jdg]

And it reminds me of a whale and basking shark combined and lots smaller

[oneg]

I wanna know who comes up with these numbers 50 million years ago, eh? Are you sure the earth has been around that long?? I take it these folks aren’t Bible believers.

Too bad the Chinese paddlefish recently went extinct. ;(
