Ya I have seen that before but never that big. A lot of the smaller fish I've caught on the river were puking small crustaceans at the side of the boat and the cleaning station. I always figured they were baby craw dads or somthing. Still a shame they used to be full of trout and bluegill and an occasional carp.
Nice river fish man congrats!!!

The strangest thing is their size, they're tiny. In the 3rd pic, you're seeing a couple of them on the tip of my fillet knife. You could fit 3 of them on a dime comfortably. And look closely--you'll see those tiny little snails that used to show up in the stomachs of the trout. I heard (and proposed) a lot of different theories of what the striper would end up foraging on, but this was never one of them

striper are kinda like sharks.if its in the water its fair game and tasty. Ive seen em take baby ducks rite under the momma ducks nose.

Those are the ones! Def not crawdads, if you hang out on the shores of willow at night with a flash light you'll see them scooting around all over the place--they actually raise them in the hatchery and drop them in different coves along the river, and also use them as food for the different stages of young razorback
