Estimates indicate that about 30 percent (60 million pounds) of the 200 million pounds of sport and game fish present in Oklahoma are found in the major reservoirs.

Some of us like to keep pet fish, while others prefer to go out and spend the day catching fish. Either way fish are definitely one of God's unique creations. One piece of fun fact which seems to be under some debate is whether fish feel pain? I would tend to think they do. After all they are a living creatures.

One way anglers can supplement their knowledge of fish and fishing (news) is to assimilate the knowledge and experience of other anglers. Fishing magazine articles, television fishing programs, area fishing news and word-of-mouth can never replace actual fishing experience, but can have an impact on success. Watching or reading about the fishing techniques of others can often prove successful wherever you fish. Since few in today's society have opportunities to fish every day, most sport fishermen rely to some degree on information generated by other anglers.

One fact I found amazing was that fish can actually drown! Okay, you are probably wondering how is that possible? Well a fish needs oxygen just like we do.

That was a sad day for me and I even considered never using lipstick again.

Fish represent an integral step in the food chain. Fish feed on plants and small animals in the water transferring their energy to the fish. Other creatures than feed on the fish, man included, and take in the energy in the fish as energy in the form of calories. If fish were removed from the planet, the food chain would be devastated.
