Everything except walleye and often on the Tennessee River.

I could add largemouth bass, blue and flathead catfish, buffalo,

bream, skipjack and gar to the list, all on a single outing.

When you fish Kentucky Lake in April, you will get a taste of

exactly what I'm talking about. The worst is drum, the most

common is white bass.

I don't think I've ever caught more than four species in one outing, but I could be wrong.  The last time I caught four was at Smithville lake last year.  

Largemouth Bass

Crappie

Bluegill

Walleye

I've caught all of the species mentioned in the previous posts, except for skipjack, at one time or another, and I would add channel catfish, green sunfish (often mistaken for bluegill), carp, and grinnel (bowfin).

Last year, early summer, I had a crazy multi species day, though we hit several different shore spots.

Bluegill

Perch

Northern Pike

Bowfin

Hey Senile,

You must not have been fishing the ditches when you lived in Sikeston! ;D

We hit 'em hard in mid-summer with nightcrawlers, cut bait, and live shad. Not uncommon to catch any or all of the following on the same day:

White bass

Crappie

Largemouth

Kentucky Bass

Sunfish

Goggle Eye

Drum

Channel Cat

Flatheads

Blue Cats

Longnose Gar

Common Carp

Bowfin

I'm probably missing some, but when you're fishing a ditch off the Mississippi with live and cut-bait for more than a few hours, just about anything is possible. The water is almost boils with activity...and many days the bites are non-stop.

P.S. Almost forgot about the Asian carp and shad that we catch in the throw nets.

bass

goggle eye

redear

crappie

blue catfish

grass carp

all out of one 20 acre lake.

:)  That's why I said I could be wrong.  When we were kids we fished the ditches all the time with night crawlers and we caught multiple species.  I just can't remember how many different species I caught in one day.  That was 30 - 40 years ago.   ;)

When I can't remember something from that long ago, I usually just start making up details.

By the way, did I ever mention the time back in '78 when I caught a 15 pound smallmouth on a chunk of velveeta cheese?

:D
