A biggun: EFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The 2024 paddlefish snagging season is off to a great start after an angler reeled in a world record fish at the Lake of the Ozarks. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) congratulates Chad Williams of Olathe, Kansas for snagging a 164-pound, 13-ounce paddlefish at the Lake of the Ozarks March 17. The fish not only breaks the previous state record of 140 pounds, but also the previous world record of 164 pounds. “I was lucky enough to get invited to go out snagging with friends,” Williams said. “I’d never been snagging before. Never seen a paddlefish – didn’t even know what it was!” Shortly into the snagging trip, Williams hooked into something massive. “I was thinking I was extremely weak because it was taking so long to reel in. My body was aching,” he recalled. After the fish made it onto the boat, the group immediately knew it was a record. They later met MDC Fisheries and Protection staff at Three Brothers Meat Company in Montreal to weigh the fish on a certified scale. This makes the second state record caught in 2024.

Yep, the Zinker is like a piece of foam and it will move with little to no input from the rod. Bad thing about Zinkerz is the consistency of the salt content varies, some will have a lot of salt, some don't, it is aggravating as you don't know until you get them out of the pack. I have not used the Zero much, but I believe they don't have much salt compared to a Zinker.

Well the picture loading process is working today, here are Dutch's 2 smallies:

I though going 3 was stretching it. 😃

Zinkerz float too. If you stretch them out you can get a lot of the salt out and they float like a piece of foam. Always have used Zinkerz for Ned, it's the old school Ned bait. Somewhere on the site is a video made by Dtrs5kprs that shows a Ned being worked in a swimming pool with a Zinker. The TRD is bulkier, so probably more buoyant. From what I have seen, the TRD does not use as much salt.

Some places in the main lake in that area, you have 20 feet of viz, once you start getting in Indian it drops to 10 feet or so. Quite a bit of leaf litter and small sticks floating around with not much big stuff, but enough you have to keep an eye out. May be more back further in Indian.

Fished with Dutch today , we launched at the Indian Creek launch at 0700 and fished until about 1 PM. It was slow today, we caught 9 bass total, but on the plus side, Dutch caught a 3.75 smallmouth and another that went 3. He got them on jigs. I had one that looked to be a least 3, right at the boat that jumped and got off. It was also a jig fish. I did catch a 2 lb. spot and a 16" largemouth on a jig tipped with a half-Zinker as a trailer. The "Pete Special" as I call it. Snagged in Outlet caught a bunch of river fish on that, so I gave it a shot on the lake fish today. @snagged in outlet 3 A few smaller fish came on the Ned. We covered a lot of water with the bites few and far between, fish were anywhere from 5 - 20 feet deep. Got a couple of pics of Dutch with his smallies, but for some reason, I'm getting an error when trying to load them. WT 51-53.

Bucket List Item: catch a fish in all 50 States
Quillback replied to Ham's topic in General Angling Discussion
Just spent some time thinking about it, I believe I have caught something in 20 states, plus Ontario and British Columbia. Not a goal of mine to do all 50 states, just have been a lot of places in my life. -

The company I worked for had customers in Salt Lake and Provo, traveled out there many times, but never fished. Seems to me that Utah lake was super polluted but I believe it has been cleaned up somewhat. -
I use about the same casting technique with both types of reels. Left hand near the butt of the rod, right hand at the reel. After making hundreds of thousands of casts with both types of tackle, it's all automatic. But I do hold the BC rod in my left hand, and the spinner in my right when reeling. If I started using a left handed BC reel, I'd have to untrain myself from doing what I do now. I do flip with my right arm, so have to switch the rod over to my left arm after making the flip, but again it is pretty automatic, don't flip much anymore these days anyway. Gives me tennis elbow if I do it all day.
