Comments | in 1988, fishery crews shocked Woodland Park Pond in Kalispell in an effort to remove what they suspected to be an illegally planted northern pike responsible for the disappearance of most of the park's ducklings. They didn't find the pike but did capture a seven-pound channel catfish—the first one documented west of the divide. |
