    But..??? That's a St Louis news channel. How did you see that?

    Those are decent size fish for those locations. They do get bigger, but also smaller. This ain't Texas, not everything is expected to be huge. LOL. Good to see new posters, welcome.

    Because life is short. Do what makes you excited. You should really take the trip.

    I've been cutting strips for the gunwales on my canoe. The tablesaw sure excites them. They come swarming. Honestly had over 10 each on me and my neighbor who's saw I was using. With a few buzzing around. What's kinda of strange is, you catch one, throw it, it will return almost perfectly to the zone of which you caught it. Sort of like nature's own boomerang.

    I caught a nice bluegill in the creek. I'm still limited on how much bank I have access to, so don't let my catch fool you. I had a carp take it, and a gar, but I couldn't keep them hooked. These were tied by @Ryan Miloshewski

    Reminds me of a camping trip a couple of years ago. My family and a close friend's family camped near our house. Just a weekend getaway. Threat of rain all weekend. The radar showed it was definitely raining on us at the current time and location, while we were experiencing clear skies. We would have appreciated some rain as it was very hot. Never happened.

    Sorry to hear about the finger. Glad you all continued. Sounds like a great trip.

    Can't beat a PB of any fish. Thanks for the report.

    When I first moved to Festus, we had a very similar phenomenon for a couple years. It seemed to break just north or south of Festus each time it rained. People thought we exaggerated, until they seen the trees, fields and lawns. Water is not cheap, as we are on city water. Our water bill for one month of trying to save our sod when we moved in was over $300.00. We let it die after that. Very strange how weather affects certain areas. We really don't realize until it affects us directly.

    What a story. I expected it to be a turtle somehow ate the fish.

    I only took the one photo. I didn't realize how distorted it was. The fish seemed to be a purple irradesent colored shiner. It was very lively, although the picture makes it look dead for hours. Yes sir. I'm hoping to make some modifications and use it with a homeade rod.

    So, I know many aren't into the Micros, but most of us like new gadgets. This is a new twist on fly fishing and handling fishing. I found this on a Facebook group, thought inwould take a chance. It's pretty cool. It's called KindaPrimitive micro reel. A guy somewhere in Florida makes them, I believe wirh a 3d printer. You cast/throw your lure or bait and retrieve it by hand. Reel it with finger and thumb. I bought one, gave some input and he modified it. I have a couple more modifications to suggest, but it is alot of fun, and a new gadget.

    Everyone, I want to let you all know, when I was down and immobile in a wheelchair, Leo messaged me and made me feel so good, offering me an opportunity to come to this lake that is open to handicap individuals. It meant so much to me. I'm still quite moved by it. Leo, would it be OK if I shared this on Facebook?

    Like magic. Can we opt in to a payment or donation?
  15. Daryk Campbell Sr
    That's a mighty fine offer Phil. I've kinda got used to them. I don't mind, makes me feel as if I'm paying my way. If that would be an option, it could be a donation opportunity. Just putting it out there.
  16. Daryk Campbell Sr
    Wild times.

    Somehow I knew Edmund Fitzgerald was coming before he said anything about it.
  20. Daryk Campbell Sr
    I understand logically. But, I can't agree with you. Somehow we benefit emotionally from pets more than any modern medicine can replicate. While you're correct in statement, I'll never deny my pets.

    Saw my first yesterday in Festus. Been hearing some, but I couldn't swear it's any different than normal.
  22. Daryk Campbell Sr
    Well done. Thanks for sharing.
  23. Daryk Campbell Sr
    Excellent day. Glad John is still healthy enough to be out fishing with his nephew.

    My initial thought was Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos) by the Highwaymen. First time hearing this one, I believe.
  25. Daryk Campbell Sr
    I've resisted the urge to Google it, as I really enjoy this type of brain tease. I also like being turned on to new music.
