Fisherman Riley Haynie gives city-slicker reporter Greg Barron a lesson in fishing for mudcats on the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
Standing on the shore near the Robert Street Bridge, Haynie explains how the greenish mudcat is bigger than the yellow-bellied bullhead.
He also talks about pulling other rough fish such as carp, sheepshead and buffalo from the inner-city waterway.
Original air date: July 4, 1973
