My old friend, Yogi !

These are the first two big smallmouth I remember. They are from a 1985 float trip on the middle Meramec. The ol' man is on the left and the one he is holding was 18 inches. The one the guy on the right was holding was 21 inches. Unfortunately, these two specimens were killed; something Dad really regretted doing years later. Though I was only 11 at the time, seeing those fish in person and hearing dad repeatedly tell the story of the trip to his buddies absolutely drove my obsession with smallmouths, river fishing and the desire to see the Meramec for myself. Seven LONG years later I finally made my first float on the Meramec and have spent a ton of time on it as well as other Ozark streams ever since.

I'll be there about 11-noon tomorrow. Who should I call that will have an open seat in a boat?

You had me at hotdog casserole.

Speaking of pissing & moaning...... Why is it that I have to piss every 20 minutes once I put waders on ? 🤬

I haven't posted pictures in a while. I have been making/cooking dishes I have posted before, none of which a especially pretty. Sesame noodles, hotdog casserole, baked potatoes loaded, and grilled cheese sandwiches with soup.

I don't remember but to be fair you piss and moan about a lot of stuff! 😄 We need to meet up at the river soon and we can piss and moan about it together.

Thanks Phil! The shirt has arrived, I've worn it.... It looks great, I love it and I love the color scheme! Kudos to the shirt designer and printer... and the packager and shipper! Thank you!

Well I do have time for it, could not get away with it when I was young and working.

Napping?

I have not found anything that's getting easier.

By chance, do you remember (back in the day) when I used to piss & moan about an old buddy that I fished with frequently......and how long it took him to get suited-up & rigged ? I'd like to take all that smack talk back now, JFTR 🙄

Good luck to you guys. I hope you all have a great time.

That is the sad, sad truth.

3 bags😆. I’d rather be there than a work Christmas Party 😐

My weather app showing 5-10 mph Friday and light and variable Saturday. That’s Liable to change

Sadly, getting waders on and off does not appear to be getting easier with age.

Give me anything but a cold east wind. When it does that it's time for pizza and football.

I wish you were bringing a bag of salad. It always disappeared and you're about as fun as it gets. Except for Cody.

I’m rootin for you guys!

We know that😀

I love seeing the trinity!

wind should be decent:
