My 2018 goals were varied: Previous years I tracked based upon the Missouri fishing license year from March 1 to Feb 28th. This year I will switch to the calendar year. So all of these achievements were done since March 1 of 2018 and will end Dec 31st. Catch 4 new darter species - I caught three only did not catch any in Maryland Catch 4 new minnow, topminnow species - I caught three only Catch 1 new sculpin - did not achieve that one none in Maryland and did not fish in Maine for a large marine species. Catch 15 new life list species - caught 21 Catch a fish in six new states - caught only in 4 - Rain had kept me from fishing in Illinois and West Virginia Catch a PB striper - lost my biggest one to-date Catch a Taney brown trout - did achieve that one Catch a brook trout in Maryland - did achieve that one Help others achieve their goals: Daughter wanted to catch 40 different species - helped her catch 53 different species Help Ham get to 52 different species - only helped him catch a few different species showed Daryk Campbell how to microfish - he caught a great looking rainbow darter I also caught 64 different species this year which is the greatest number of species in a given year. I am working on trying to get at least one more .

It looks good. Did you have it outside this summer? They do better outside than inside even at that size. If you aren't in a club, St Louis has a good bonsai club. When I lived in Florida our club put on a series for beginners called "I bought a Bonsai but it Died!"

Now I see what is likely a Procumbens nana juniper . Looks healthy. I don't know where you got that one. I have contended for years that most of these junipers that have been sold from places like Walmart, mall kiosks, Lowes, etc. were sold after the plant had already died. Junipers will remain green for a long long time. If the needles are hard and sharp then the plant is likely to be dead.

That Irish cream looks great Ness! So does the gumbo.

No photos. Tonight was roasted herbed chicken legs. Paired that with crab and cheese stuffed portabella mushrooms.

Hope that those bass didn't touch the deck😁. Some nice fish for you guys. Good looking walleye! Congrats. Seems like they loved that running water.

I went out once last year and bumped fish but no hooksets. Would love to catch at least one sometime.

Awesome striper buddy! Congrats on a great fish and on the walleye! Had to weed through those stinkin bass😁.

That's an awesome trip! Glad that you guys got to fish together. Congrats on a great mixed bag! Definitely a bit jealous in landing that paddlefish.

Congrats. I have always liked the urban trout program. Gives a great sunday afternoon diversion for those that just can't easily get to a trout stream or tailwater.

Bret you got a great fish fry. Congrats!

Congrats on a great day of catching! Nice mixed bag of crappie and bass. You have to rock the Santa hat. Congrats again and Happy Holidays.

I wouldn't bother since it really wasn't that good of a movie. At least in my opinion.

Thanks Ness. I'll have to check out Netflix. I do have an idea on how this one ends. Still need to see it.

Didn't really like The Big Sleep. Liked Key Largo Better. To have and Have not was the first Bogart and Bacall movie with the infamous "you know how to whistle Steve....." Lines. Am a big Nicholson fan especially Cuckoos nest. Also the Shining. @Quillback no love for the Witches of Eastwick 😌?

Congrats Micah and welcome to the forum!

I have never seen it. I finally saw the John Wayne version of The Alamo. Still need to see the Wake of the Red Witch to see the remaining movie where John Wayne dies. My have to buy that one to get to see it. Has him starring with Gail Russell. Probably not as heart warming as those two in the Angel and the Badman.

How long have you guys been married? Long enough for Pat to figure out whose idea it really was buddy 😛! Good luck.

I will admit nothing. As Schultz would say "I hear nothing....!"

Not sure that one worked out in the short term. I think I know how it turned out in the long run since I don't hear about her running the trolling motor !

I'm in Flysmallie's camp. I watch too many movies. Since just before I left for and returned from Missouri, I have watched the original Japanese version of Godzilla, aka Gojira (1954), the Americanized version of the same including Raymond Burr titled Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1957), the first Japanese sequel Godzilla Raids Again (1955), and Son of Godzilla (1967) with my daughter since this is one of the more campy monster movies.

Plan on the weekend that most folks can go. I may be able to do the first weekend in March if that is a viable option.

I've had that jam and agree that it is a fine tip!

Congrats on some great fish! Looks like a great fry in the making.

Likely going to have to pass. Guys have a great time.
