    Not a fan of Frankenfish...but who cares if one takes the record. If you have separate categories for Frankenfish, stocked fish, and wild fish...somebody is gonna try for that record and it creates allot of expense & nonsense. Better to have one state record, but MDC should jump on this...They could employ 3-4 more biologists.

    I have a guy who mows my lawn, with his own mower and gas, charges $45...Takes him 10 minutes. Would take me 45 minutes, then an allergy coma for 3 hrs or so...Money well spent. A for profit, with volunteer labor is BS.

    If retired it could be a sweet gig, not a gig for a working man though. They should pay for the truck, pay you, house, feed, and water you well if you are expected to drive a Miss Daisy and keep score.

    Yep cheaters will cheat, looks like a 14" fish with an extra tail. Very obvious.

    Hope you get the record again Laker! Think the Rip Collins fish was a trip44". Throw a few in the Current & NFOW while they are at it
  7. Gavin
    All for it! Hope it is successful and that local tourneys adopt something similar. Figure that some will worry about cheating but why risk your reputation to cheat and win a bass tournament? Not much money in the big picture if you to win,even for KVD.

    The blue bellies are better looking. Probably why some bright blue green marabou is a great color to add to your jig or bugger at times. Red is a good add when certain minnows spawn.
  9. Gavin
    There are two different species in Johns photos. The blue green colors are spawning male Ozark Sculpin. The ones from the Current are Banded Sculpin. Your paint looks great!

    In another direction, not a fan of fish mounts or replicas. What would be cooler than a water color, pen & ink of your fish to scale? Underwater type pic maybe. Frame it with a picture of your catch, the lure & litte blurb with the details. It will look better than a fish on the wall. Will probably cost more if done right though.

    Deer is the only they seem to enforce. Why is the question.They are everywhere. See urban deer all the time, turkey too. Could use a few less in my neighborhood. Thicker west of 270 in the STL area.

    I don't care. Not one little bit.

    They are powerful...Had a nice wiper tow my kayak for a bit on a lake in KS last weekend, Figure a big striper could take you for a sleigh ride!

    POTUS

    Gavin replied to jdmidwest's topic in General Chat

    I like the Benton murals at the Capitol. Benton's painting of Cave Spring on the Current R. is one of my favorites. River views from some of the blue carpet offices are pretty spectacular....average legislator or senate office is a hovel though.

    The Eleven Point should be on your list if you have not done it. It flows a little faster, and it has excellent trout fishing, chain pickeral, & smallmouth.

    Beautiful Fish! Good for you!

    Beef tongue

    Gavin replied to Hog Wally's topic in Food

    I do like calves liver. Lorenzo's on the hill does a great one. Do like hearts, deer heart, beef heart, and if you like dissonance & experimental music you might like some Captain Beefheart.

    Cedargrove to Round Spring is the most popular float stretch. Carr's at Round Spring might do. Upper River down to Cedar call Jadwin canoe. Think Two Rivers will drop you at Round Spring for a float back to their place at the confluence with the Jacks Fork. Lots of gravel bars to camp on.

    I prefer to fish only one fly well, but will fish 2 until I get dialed in. A crackleback or griffiths gnat and a small dropper works really well on low water Taney. Figure most blind nymph caught fish are actually flossed. Always prefer to see the fish move and eat. Sometimes you can’t.

    Gasconade as well. There is a new CG about 20 miles above Riddle Bridge. Ruby’s Landing is the name. There to Boiling Springs should be about 35 miles. Big Piney from east gate to the gasconade would work too.

    Beef tongue

    Gavin replied to Hog Wally's topic in Food

    Does not look great when you cook it but I like it a lot. Can get it raw at a Mexican market near the office, or cooked at their restaurant next door. Taqueria Durango, not far from the STL airport on Page between Lindberg and I-70.

    Have no idea what 5's are. Thinking house brand Cabela's or BPS.

    You could have a quick ride if they turn the faucet on. High fast slick clear water is not that dangerous in a kayak, but it is high consequence if you dump. Forget your stuff and the boat and get to shore as fast as possible. PFD for sure.
  24. Gavin
    AuSable & Manistee are LP streams. Worth a visit. Take a trip on an AuSable long boat if you can. Track down Steve Southard or Jeff McGowan if you want to longboat there. Usually best around Father's Day 4th of July for the big hex hatch. A smaller late hex should be firing right about now.

    You can do that yourself FW and safely. Delmar Loop in U City is pretty tame, you could see some of that on foot and have a great time. Take an Uber north of there if you want to see the hood. The hood is pretty safe for white guys in suits during business hours. Guess the hood residents figure you are an attorney or insurance guy. Show up casual, you are a mark, there to buy dope. Do not linger.
