Paddlefish
making a comeback
A species of prehistoric fish that began swimming in West Virginia's waters right after the age of the dinosaurs is on it's way to making a comeback in West Virginia, with a little help from the state's Dept. of Natural Resources.
Paddlefish are one of the largest freshwater fishes in North America, commonly reaching 5 feet or more in length and 60 pounds in weight, but one weighing as much as 198 pounds
was caught in recent years. Read more about paddlefish
