@FishnDave Congrats on another skipjack and a bunch of grass carp!

Glad that those of us that are working will soon get higher taxes to pay for those that are not🙄.

Last night was the first steamed crabs of the season. Corn on cob with old bay and red potatoes. Didn't catch many. May be a tough year. Did catch fish but that is for another post.

You too buddy!

So no walleye... at least the bass came to play. Looked like great weather. If I was still living in Columbia, I would have to have you teach me the Bink's spoon technique. You have it perfected.

JF #88 Norfolk spot or spot croaker Starting to think that I am just not good at solo photos 🤔🙄

She's always listening 🙄

A few Far side cartoons.

A man was rushed to the hospital where they find 23 plastic horses stuck in his rectum. The Dr reports his condition as stable. 🤣

With Father's day coming Why did the Dad's joke cross the road 🤔? To get to the other Sigh! 🤣

How were you fishing, i.e., what type of terminal rigs, and what bait did you use?

Anyway I am a bit jealous of this state record. I am not sure that I have ever seen a river carpsucker in person let alone catch a state record on hook and line. Must be fishing in the wrong places, My Bad 🙄. Steven Henson of Bonne Terre reeled in a 3-pound, 14-ounce fish on the Mississippi River. St. Francois County angler catches state record river carpsucker Steven Henson of Bonne Terre reeled in a 3-pound, 14-ounce fish on the Mississippi River. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) congratulates Steven Henson of Bonne Terre for becoming the latest state record holder for river carpsucker. Henson was fishing with his pole-and-line on the Mississippi River June 1 when he reeled in the 3-pound, 14-ounce fish. The previous record was a 2-pound, 3-ounce fish caught on the South Grand River in 2008. The river carpsucker is the most abundant and widely distributed carpsucker in Missouri. This species mainly occurs in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and their major prairie tributaries in northern and western Missouri. The river carpsucker is considered a sport fish, and is rarely taken on hook-and-line. The weighing of the fish was witnessed by MDC staff on a certified scale in the area. This is the sixth state record fish recorded in 2021. Missouri state record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.

MDC confirms Steven Henson of Bonne Terre is the sixth state record holder of 2021 after catching a 3-pound, 14-ounce river carpsucker on the Mississippi River June 1.

No photos - Made a meatloaf - 2/3 ground beef, 1/3 pork sausage, diced onion and yellow bell pepper (cooked until onions wer translucent), parmesan cheese, worchestershire sauce, and smoke paprika. Served with mashed potatoes using ranch and milk. Also corn since we didn't have any peas😉

Not sure that you have ever finished your BS buddy🤣

Don't try telling that to Wrench. He seems to think that they all pull in 6 figure incomes. If you get into the industry side, there is more money that can be made. Depends on the markets. I work on the preregistration testing (e.g., determining if it is a risk to the environment, animal, and human health) for the Pharma industries and we typically get $500 to $700K for our testing. My brother works in the health care side (e.g., getting the Dr's on board to promote their drug) and the same Pharma client will spend $2 to $5mil.

I love our Sequoia but it has the limitations of an enclosed vehicle unlike a truck. I'm a big fan of Toyotas but really don't like the seating in theirs trucks. Maybe the newer Tundras are better but don't know.

JF #87 Summer flounder. For nearly 85% of the trip this fish was the only fish caught out of 15 to 16 anglers. Was the other flounder caught. I caught it on a 3 inch chartreuse Gulp swimming mullet and a white flashabou trailer about 18 inches behind a 3 oz weight. One guy did catch a sea robin for a total of three fish. Lots of crabs and horseshoe crabs were caught. Not a great trip.

I'm going to add the darter to the list. JF #86 Rainbow darter - female Turned out that the mystery minnow in the attached post may be a variation of Ozark minnows and not likely a different species. Since I already had an ozark minnow on the list this one will not be added.

Livie #71 (lifer) Summer flounder or Fluke, Paralichthys dentatus. Went on a 3 hr boat trip. Livie's was only the second flounder landed all day. Had a crappy slack tide with no water movement until the end of the trip. The captain decided to give us and extra 30 to 40 mins and Livie got it done during that overtime. I had rigged some rigs with white or green flashabou trailers. She had on the green trailer and a strip of flounder belly meat. She never caught a flounder before this year and this is her third flounder species this year. There is a species, the windowpane flounder that we may go for later this year up in NJ.

Nice Dave! We don't have spots out this way. didn't even try for one when were out your. Heck I still haven't caught a smallie here in MD. Hope to get that done this year.

Looks great but need details as to why it's Thai. Assuming a marinade but what's in it. Thanks

Three construction workers are sitting on a beam 75 stories above the street in an unfinished building having lunch. The Italian man opens his lunchbox and finds a piece of pizza. "If I have to eat pizza again for lunch I am going to jump off this beam to my death!" The Asian man opens his lunchbox and finds rice. "If I have to eat one more lunch of rice, I'm going to jump to my death!" The blonde man opens his lunchbox and finds a cheeseburger. "If I have to eat another cheeseburger for lunch, I'm going to also leap to my death!" The next day each man had the same lunches and all jumped and died on the street below. At the funeral the wife of the Italian and Asian men were crying saying that they could have prevented their husband's deaths if they had only known about the hatred of their lunches. They looked at the blonde man's wife and asked why she was not remorseful for the death of her husband. She said "Don't look at me, he packed his own lunches!"🤣
