Yellow Perch:
If you want to catch some yellow perch, you don’t have to drive to Lake Erie to fill a cooler. Upground reservoirs, a type of artificial inland lake, offer excellent yellow perch fishing if you know where to go and how to catch them. Yellow perch can be caught in upground reservoirs using techniques similar to those proven effective in Lake Erie. Upground reservoirs with the best yellow perch fishing are primarily located in Northwestern Ohio.
TIPS: The key to catching yellow perch is finding the right location. You must find where the fish are holding and feeding at each time of the year to be successful.
Some anglers use fish finders (sonar) to locate yellow perch. However, they can be difficult to see on a fish finder when they are lying on or close to the bottom. A popular technique to locating them is drifting or slow trolling until you catch one, then anchor immediately and fish straight down.
Yellow perch also like to associate close to structure. Most upground reservoirs do not have much vegetation, but if you find some rooted vegetation, try fishing along its edge. If you find submerged trees near shore, they may be worth trying as well.
Choosing a rod that can provide good feel is important. Yellow perch bites can be expected to be light, so tackle should be light.
Remember, if you are not catching these fish, be flexible and try changing locations, using other baits, or choosing a different time of day to fish. You may find that yellow perch have developed a pattern of feeding at a particular time in a particular reservoir.
TACKLE: Use a light spinning rod and reel with 6-8 pound test during most of the year and ice fishing rods and gear during winter.
SEASON: Fall (mid-September-November)
PEAK ACTIVITY: Excellent
PRESENTATION: Slow drift or slow troll from boat. After you catch one; anchor at that location. Fish straight down just off the bottom using small minnows fished with a spreader or crappie rig.

Faceless Cusk:
The faceless cusk (Typhlonus nasus) is a genus of cusk-eel found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans at depths from 3,935 to 5,100 m (12,910 to 16,732 ft). This species grows to 46.5 cm (18.3 in) in standard length.
The fish is named after its appearance due to having an extremely reduced “face”. The mouth is located on the underside of the head. The sides of the head do not display any visible eyes. However, Typhlonus nasus does possess eyes, which can be seen deep beneath the skin in small-sized specimens. It also possesses two pairs of large nostrils towards the front of the head above the mouth. The species has discernible gill covers on each side of the head and large deciduous scales. It also has reduced dorsal and anal fins which are dark in colors and are fused at the end, as a replacement for a lacking caudal fin. The fins of this fish are black in color, with a very pale body.

Hybrid striped bass:
A cross between white bass and striped bass, and pound-for-pound, one of the hardest fighting fish swimming in Ohio’s waters today. Currently, the Ohio Division of Wildlife is stocking Buckeye, Charles Mill, Dillon, East Fork, Griggs, Kiser and O’Shaughnessy lakes and the Ohio River. Hybrid striped bass can grow considerably larger than a white bass and are more tolerant of Ohio’s warm water than striped bass.
Tips:
Use cast nets to catch gizzard shad for bait.
Hybrid striped bass hooking mortality increases greatly when water temperatures exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Increase survival on released fish by landing fish quickly, reducing handling time, keeping fish in the water as hook is removed and cutting the line on deeply-hooked fish. Try using a circle hook if using live bait.
If you plan on keeping some hybrid stripers, place them on ice to maintain flavor and firmness of their flesh. Remove all the dark reddish meat from the centerline of the fillets to reduce the strong, fishy taste of larger fish.
Tackle:
A long bait-casting or spinning rod (6 to 8 feet) outfit with some flex (medium to medium-heavy action) helps absorb the shock of a hybrid’s hard, initial strike and keeps the hooks from pulling out of the fish’s mouth. Reels should be spooled with 10- to 14-pound abrasion-resistant monofilament. The heavier lines should be used for river hybrid striped bass. Be sure to have your fishing rod firmly in your hand or hooked into the boat.
Season:
Fall (mid-September-November)
Presentation:
Cast spoons into schools of bait fish, troll shad-type crankbaits, cast flashy metal lures onto flats, or bottom fish cut bait or chicken livers. As water cools, fish will move shallower.
Location:
Try creek mouths up to headwaters or lowhead dams, and below dams in tailwaters of lakes and rivers. Watch for fish breaking the surface chasing shad.

Peacock Mantis Shrimp:
This shrimp is known for its ability to pack a punch.
It is the heavyweight champion of the oceanic world, which is particularly impressive when considering its delicate looking frame.
They actually punch their prey and other Peacock Mantis Shrimps with their front appendages. They also use them to break open the shells of other shellfish to eat.
They are actually not a shrimp at all, but a carnivorous crustacean. Their front appendages resemble that of a mantis, hence the name. They are commonly found to be any size from 1.2 inches to 7.1 inches.
However, they can also be found at around 12 inches at their biggest. The largest on record was 15 inches! For a crustacean that is that vicious, we think those sizes are pretty impressive! Small but mighty, right?
They can be found in shallow tropical or subtropical waters, mostly in the Indian Ocean or the Pacific. They feast on smaller crustaceans such as mollusks and crabs, sneaking up on them with that heavyweight punch we have already discussed. It is thought that their punch can reach up to 170 MPH, making them the fastest organism on the earth.
