Those are some super fish right there. Those Rios are huge. Looks like Steve has a chore ahead of him cleaning all those critters. Great job.

Thanks Rick for the reply! All we need to do is cope with the HEAT! Early morning will be the answer!

Nice going Chuck and Steve. The heat is on and so's the fishing.
How do the Rios taste compared to say Crappie, Sunfish or catfish?

Very nice... How was Dunlap compared to the creek fishing? Most of the pics show weed beds that don't look like Dunlap water weeds. I think Rios taste good, but I prefer the medium to smaller ones to eat...

Thanks Andrew and Vogey for the replies. Andrew: I do not eat Rios but have been told that they are great table fare. Steve is a "Master Cook" when it comes to fish. He can fry em,grill em,broil em,and even makes a great gumbo. He also smokes em. Steve says the Rio meat is white very similar to the sunfish. He says Rio's are great fried and grilled. My top three fish to eat are #1. White Bass,#2 Crappie and #3 Bluegill/Sunfish! I also love catfish and trout! Vogey: We fished Dunlap right at day break and caught about 12 Channel Catfish all in the 2 to 4 pound range. I had one break off that would have easily gone over 7 Lbs. Should have netted it. The weed beds were on a creek. As for the Rios,Steve will eat em small,medium,or large!

Thanks Kelly for the reply! All you have to do is call! There are plenty of "HUGE" Rios down here! It's been a GREAT Rio year so far!

Now that looks like a good day of fishing. Someday I need to head south and catch some Rios. Never caught one and would like to look one over.

Creek fishing has been GREAT down here! Flags: Anytime you want to come down send me a message and I will try to put you on some Rios!
