He caught that striped sucker in Duck Creek CA which is northeast of Mingo. I'm sure that they are in Mingo as well. Saw and lost lots of gar there. Looked like long nose mostly. State record spotted gar was caught in St Francis River back 2019.
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 .
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.
@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 🙄.
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😉.
