I was 100% with ya, until the curried apricots. Looks good though.

Nice wally sir!

Yes, I suspect they would they would have murdered him, then beat and cuffed him, then read him his rights.

Well then extrapolating out how can a person legally have elk, bear, or antelope, salmon, etc. in their freezer since it isn't legal to take them.in MO. ?

Hmmm, none of the agents I have ever been around would have accepted that as the end.

Absolutely fabulous news Sir.

Wind is th biggest downfall for me and Nanofil, however when crappie fishing or walleye fishing (primarily my big 2) if it is windy I will hold my rod lower or if not too bad I simply watch for the "tic" in the line. If too windy for that I usually am not there long. Watching the line is why I like its high visability, I had some black power pro for a few days, about dark was absolutely invisible to my eyes. Even my leaders are high visibility mono, green fuorescent P line, Stren golden thread (had some left from monofilament years), or plain old fluorescent stren, glows nicely in the light of a hat light about dark.

I always buy high visibility braid of some version. The reason I use a leader is because the braid doesn't handle rocks etc well and abrade easily. The mono leader handles it much better.

I am a hook setter from way back. With braid when I set the hook, even on crappie you will heal the drag screech. I finally learned to loosen the drag with braid, I can very quickly use a finger to add drag if needed should I hook into something with more muscle.

I am usually in my underwear, just have to make sure there are no reflections, that would definitely take away from the photogenics.

I am with ya, RPS's bad photos look better than my good ones! By the time I get something made I am usually so hungry all I can think is EAT IT NOW.

Sounds delicious!

darn, I hate to hear that.

Lots of different opinions, but once I got used to braid and then switched to Nano, I eliminated mono completely except for leaders.

Photos?

Wow what a pig!

Not to change the topic, whatever it was, but the peepers are peeping well tonight, that means that the walleye will soon be looking for love and jigs. As soon as I see a worm or two crawling out and abuout I am gonna give them a try. Those are my personal signs, that and when I happen to have both the time and opportunity to go.

It was probably carved on a stone tablet that far back.😅

Yep, but then I dont make it up to that country fishing. Used to go over west of Morrisville and catch whites and jacks.

I have zero issues with stricter regs on alligator gar, native to that area, population shrinking etc. Carp do not appear to be very endangered, I don't have an issue with some regulation on them but it was a nice strawman argument to compare the days of slaughtering waterfowl to carp.

Good info. I would have been lost, in my mind CC was Crabtree Cove. Greenfield access is what I know the CC bridge area as.

So in a nutshell a whacko got caught with several cats in his freezer that he had brutalized in different ways. I shall I've in fear from now on.

Carp probably already have it, that's why don't get giant in MO.

I do know of people who have fished up the river, above the lake boundary, caught and kept fish that would be legal there (under 9 inch crappie specifically) and then run back down below the lake boundary to the boat ramp, quite a ways below, and then got checked at the ramp and issued a ticket for under under length fish. Once you cross back into "impounded waters" whatever you have must meet those rules, period. I do think that marking, with a sign the lake boundary is a good thing, however it is difficult on a lake that can fluctuate several feet. Easy to identify locations like bridges are ideal, but seldom available in anywhere near the correct locations. Signs placed high enough not to go under water are difficult to install and maintain. Most agents are pretty flexible unless the fishermen are in blatant violation.

As long as they didn't put him on the buffet, no worries.
