You'll get one, I'm lucky we get to fish Missouri River and Mississippi confluence. The Alton lock is just a mile upstream and there are big Blues and Flatheads all over the place, you just need to find a countour of at least 5 to 7 feet, then anchor above, which can be a little hairy, and throw them some cut Skipjacks,Bluegill or Asians or a whole Mooneye if you can catch one, they seem to work like nothing else but, they have to be whole. Sure wish I could take you in the Seaark and show ya some nice cats.....not many of my fishing buddies seem to want to chase the monsters???? I know it's a little industrial looking but there is nothing like having a 50 lb blue run you in very thick current like a saltwater fish......I love it!!!!
I still like your rodholders, they look cool as hell and the fact that you made them makes them even better.
