Yes, airboats are undeniably the most obnoxious form of craft ever invented. Although a guy up the road has a 4-wheeler that is pretty close. I'd launch a missle at that prick if I could get away with it.

Fine! Thanks for the education. 👍 So, why do PROPELLER DRIVEN aircraft have to be so loud ? Quiet those sonsabitches down !

Agreed. The fillet off a 12-13 incher isn't any bigger than the fillet off a 11"er. They just have bigger heads and tails.

Point ! 👍 😁

When it has a jet engine it's called a JET, not a PLANE. Ya dingleberry ! I know the difference between a sailboat and a motorboat! How's that?

I said "planes". Not jets. Jets are far enough away that I can still take a call when one is overhead.

Why are planes so freaking loud ? And are there no EPA regulations on their exhaust ? That stuff falls on our heads ya know ! How is it that THEY get a pass ?

Yeah I don't catch those BARN DOOR crappie here in the Gravois arm. Ever. From Purvis on up the Osage they are definitely bigger. And I wanna say that it has been that way forever. I don't think I've ever spent a day crappie fishing in the Niangua arm, but I would expect it to fish similar to the Gravois arm.

The main thing to learn from FFS is how important TIMING is, and the key is to not overfish them when they simply are not ready to chase and bite. Show the fish a bait when the timing is right.....and you could probably catch them on a oily spark plug with a hook hanging off of it. Keep throwing at them repeatedly with various baits when the timing ISN'T right....and you'll likely shut them down to where they won't bite ANYTHING for the remainder of the day.

That's a pricey "map". I'd definitely sell my copy for 400.00 in a heartbeat.

Not only that......They are fishing baits that they didn't design, on rods that someone else built......and doing it all from a boat that somebody else built. And if it hadn't been for the Alarm Clock from Japan, they'd have never even made it to the registration in time. Bet they didn't even raise the chicken that laid the eggs they ate for breakfast either. B.A.S.S stands for Be A Super Slacker ! Did they even dress themselves ? Probably.....but it was in clothes that somebody else made. Jesus H Christ, can these guys not do ANYTHING for themselves ? 😁 Self sufficiency went to hell as soon as momma put her tits away.

Well, let's face it......Fly tyers, and fly fishers really don't need to know that much. 🤷‍♂️ Most of what we know, or think we know, is a waste of brain bandwidth. 😉

Yeah, he HAS TO. 🙄 Happy birthday ya old fart ! 😘

What week isn't "tournament week"? There's like 80 regatta permits issued EVERY MONTH on EVERY LAKE. Good grief 🙄

I'll tell ya my newest favorite thing.... A Nathan's hot dog, wrapped in bacon and cooked 7 minutes in an air fryer. OMG! Greatest thing I've ever tasted. 👍

Several? Practically hundreds here. This place is like a reality show. And honestly that's the main reason why I intentionally make an effort to be such a character. 😉 At the expense of someday being executed, of course. 😅

I had some unsubstantiated fear of muskrats for some reason when I was a kid. My brother threatened to bust my head wide open on more than one occasion because I immediately panicked and aborted the mission because I thought a muskrat was gonna come out of a hole nearby. Never even once had a terrifying muskrat encounter..... but for some reason I just knew it was gonna happen. What a puss! 🙄

It's time to sell it and buy a new one. Drop her off here and I'll give you some cash.

I'm actually beginning to wonder if OAF isn't a front for a porn site.

My brother and I did some noodling in our younger days, back before it was actually legal. Scented gloves aren't going to do anything to improve your success. Matter of fact I don't think you could do it the way we did with any kind of gloves on. You have to be able to feel water movement, and you have to be able to feel along the fish to tell which way it's laying. Can't do that with gloves.....much less any kind of clothing on.

Starting a manufacturing business is always a gamble. I've always had my doubts about the Robertsons multi-million dollar duck call gig. I just ain't buyin' it. 🙄

I've never been very picky about scissors because I understand how they work, so I can sharpen and flex them when they start loosing their ability to cut......BUT I do like buying quality tools, so thanks for the heads-up. 👍

Pfffft. No! The real John Wilson would never call me "Dear". 🥱

The reason that our society is such a mess is because none of us can agree on anything. And by "anything" I mean ANYTHING ! This whole "UNITED", "FREEDOM", "DEMOCRACY" lifestyle that everyone pretends to believe in, so much that we send our kids off to fight and die for it, is yet another galactic crock of head game BS. As proof that we, as a society, will never be capable of working together for anything, just consider that a household where dad is a "republican" and mom is a "democrat" doesn't even exist. Neither does a household where mom is Catholic and dad is a Presbyterian. There's absolutely no UNITY in the world once you leave the nest. Just one big stew of aggravation and compliance under duress.

Standing in a downpour can be ok if it's 75-80°, but doing it in 40-55° is like boot camp. Piss on that !
