Sounds like there wouldn't be a Taney Jigfest. May have to rename to a Signature Series Taney Slamfest!

SIO3 is correct that there was hardly any ice thick enough most years to ice fish in central MO. We thought that we would have more opportunity here in MD, but have yet not seen enough ice here either. We may have to do 4 hour runs up into PA just to find thick ice .

Have to hit the big rocks, then gravel, and then the sand to get the best shine 😁!

Love catching bass on topwater poppers. Congrats on another Iowa Toad!

Those are just slabs!

Great ice fishing trips for sure! Haven't seen too many folks pulling up toad largemouths through the ice. Livie likes to ice fish but didn't often have enough ice to fish. We had a couple of trips fishing the urban trout through the ice in Columbia.

Not too cold for those crappie! nice catching on the flyrod!

@FishnDave Found this old post - Nice slab bluegill and toad of a largemouth! Hard to put down the spin tackle and throwing similar baits, but these make me want to dust of the long rod.

These are now my wife's goto breakfast. Easier that regular pancakes or crepes since you just make one. can be topped with just about anything, fruits, eggs and cheese, etc., and be good

we've eaten chicken feet. The flavor is fine. It's the texture that keeps me from eating them again. Oh and I see where our chickens walk. Don't think that you could ever get them clean enough to eat 🙄.

You guys caught some variety of micros. The salamander is cool. Looks like a great time.

Congrats on a couple of pretty little creek rainbows!

Looks like a great time buddy! Love the photos.

Bret If I don't get one out here in MD, you know I want to get out with you for those flatheads.

Congrats @rps if there is a good population of walleye you will pattern them soon enough. Can't wait to see some catch photos soon🙂

Thanks @ness your post explains a lot🤔. I knew that the plane hitting the pentagon story just didn't add up.

Nice fish buddy. Hope you catch a bunch in the morning.

Nice boat buddy. Needs some fish slime on that carpet😁

It's always great to photograph the fish but I definitely consider that fish caught and on the list🙂

I got to 83 species last year and know how this type of goal can be all consuming. It will take effort and travel which I know that you are prepared to do and have trips planned. You may even go to one spot catch one fish and then need move to another spot to get a different fish. Good luck buddy. Switch your bar jack and yellow jack photos and you're good😉.

I think that we should take a Golgafrincham approach to non-essential workers . If we did, I wonder how many OAFers would be shipped off.

This has been the same message for months. The masks were added to the list after determination that manufacturers would be able to bump up their supply chain to keep up with demand. Same could now be said about toilet paper !

I wonder if those guys don't produce some venison that they wake up with an oil leaking Evinrude in their bed !

My dad was scheduled to have a business meeting that morning in one of the buildings (WTC 7?) next to the towers that was destroyed. Fortunately that meeting was cancelled at the last minute. I was at work in Columbia and folks were discussing it as the second tower fell. Most folks in the office had no connection to the WTC. To them they were just some tall buildings in NYC. I have been in them a few times. My dad and stepmother were married in the North tower. I parked for the wedding within 50 ft of where there was a previous bombing attempt in the parking garage. We were going to be in NYC that Oct and we had my daughter excited about going up to the top of the towers with her Pop pop, but that didn't happen. I remember as we did a trip out to the statue of liberty that Oct just seeing the emptiness on where the towers should have been. What struck me most was the day after when you went outside there was almost no noise. The sky was empty of contrails.

Congrats on the new addition! Good luck fishing. Those flies should tear them up!
