Fish that swam when dinosaurs roamed provide challenge for anglers, and financial boost for community billed as “Paddlefish Capitol of the World.”



Warsaw, Mo. – Paddlefish are an ancient creature playing a modern role in Missouri. The fish that swam when dinosaurs roamed provide a rewarding challenge for anglers, and a financial boost for Warsaw -- the community billed as the “Paddlefish Capitol of the World.”
Paddlefish grow to huge sizes even though their food is tiny zooplankton that they filter from the water. Missouri’s state record paddlefish topped 139 pounds. With their long, flattened snouts stretching out the body length, they’re truly a trophy fish.

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt and fish.
