Very nice thick walleye. Congrats!

Agree with that 😂!

Any one in the know will tell you before you buy fish check for clear eyes and little smell. This is definitely a bit shady way to sell off older fish.

#16 hook with piece of redworm. Bullied it's way to get the bait. Happens so infrequently that you remember each stoneroller strike 😁.

Catching aquarium fish at Taney even if on a fly rod may not be the proper way buddy😝.

Love it when they get breeding turbcles as well like this hornyhead chub. Or this largescale stoneroller which actually ate my bait believe or not.

I always like a nicely colored minnow😁.

Very nice smallmouth. Congrats! Glad that you were able to get your gear.

Thats a real nice football of a brown trout. Love the fall colors. Congrats!

If you could afford it, a replica of each native would be really cool!

Congrats Marty! Good luck on Teal when the season start next week. I didn't get to take advantage of the hickory nut bonanza for squirrels on this trip. Too many meetings at work! Missed on my favorite times to hunt. Will likely also miss the fall mushrooms here in Missouri.

That looks fantastic! Congrats on a great cutthroat. Like @WoundedOne one of my goals for Jigfest !

Probably. When I fish down there I am thinking brown trout and not rainbows. So I like to power fish and blow through hole and runs to find active and aggressive fish. A fly rod probably would have got fish to hand. Like I said they had a crappy guide.

Will do buddy!

Now he wants to be technically correct.

It's no wonder there are constant discussions about shad being north of this latitude etc. when folks can't id fish ! I did think that it was pretty funny when Kierstin would look at me astonished when I looked at her dad's fish and said that's a largescale stoneroller or a striped shiner ! I'm glad that she caught that rainbow. congrats to her! Cause once she and Livie got after the micros or seeing what they could catch with their hands (imagine that) neither one really fished too hard for trout. They both had a great time. Livie I know caught at least three of the "ones with lipstick on.." a fish that today still alludes @BilletHead, but @Ham would know that as a bleeding shiner. I did not purposefully fish for micros when we were fishing with DJ and Kierstin. I fished jerkbaits for browns. However, it seems like I can't help myself since my only fish caught while with them was this sculpin. Now this guy actually had the hook in it's mouth . It was a tough day. I do feel bad for being such a crappy guide for both of them. We had a fish follow baits but not commit. Fished some unproductive areas a bit too long and ran out of time. Never got up to the water that I had hoped to fish yesterday since it was well upstream from where we were. But looking at the water we did fish, should have been more successful. After they headed off to their BBQ, Livie and I did fish Montauk. She got her fill of sculpins, I finally started breaking in the new 6' Airstream. First fish was a bluegill, then a longear sunfish, an Ozark sculpin and I did eventually catch a rainbow trout on a white microjig ! We only stayed about two hours after leaving DJ and Kierstin. Had to head home and work on the last of our packing . DJ thanks for getting down to fish with us. I appreciate you taking the time. I will also have to let you know how I do with the contents of your special delivery . Hope to get back down to this stretch of the Current again some time in the future. So many memories and so many trout, but that may have to be a different post.

Congrats guys! Good luck if you guys get out in the morning.

Good Luck!

My friend fly fishes that stretch every year. Unfortunately, I have never fished it and he is currently hunting elk in the snowy range right now and inaccessible until October. I spoke to him last week and he did say it fished well with many fish over 14 inches. Don't know what he was using though.

What we need is a dog that can retrieve and pack boxes 😁. Instead we have my son's puppy taking stufff out of boxes.

Weren't the broken jaws due to boga grips? This is intentional and it's parents teaching their kids that this is ok to do. Very sad.

We missed out on getting fresh lobster in Maine 😥. Maybe next summer.

Also glad you got off the river safely and good luck on getting your gear. Nice fish! Really like that ozark bass. Congrats!

I saw a Hank Shaw shark recipe that I'm going to make with the filets we have. Would still have three steaks left. Livie may have made the trade if we knew before we left MD.

But to save us on OAF Wrench would have had to tied his fingers together !
