Stands for Freaking Good Knot and you know what happens when you go knot for knot with me son.......not talking about the FG but the one I tie on everything else.

For some reason my sentence got auto corrected to "female doggy" WTF.

What a jerk. That guy probably eats all your snacks in your boat too.

I think his buddy ties the FG knot and it takes some practice but totally worth it. Especially when you get to listen to wrench female doggy about line all over his boat.

where was take off at?

where did you put in at?

The rod he talks about here is one of the best feeling jerkbait rods I've ever picked up. Only time I use a spinning rod is when throwing a lighter bait or it so cold the guides freeze up bad enough to annoy me.

When you're not on top you make an awesome "Gillie". "Good cast Sir", "Fine pitch sir", "That's the fish's fault Sir. You presentation was flawless Sir"."Allow me to open your MGD Sir."

I would add any 1/2 oz spinnerbait with at least a number seven silver willow leaf on back.

Bfishn, cool thing you brought up catfish feed because our bluegill get fed 3.5 35% protein catfish feed and they do great. We push them really hard as larvae and they get fed a 45% protein diet as fingerlings. Then soon as they can eat a 3.5 pellet they get tagged and moved to the ponds. Wished I had some recent data to share but I don't and it is not comparable to previous generations because we had to do things differently because we moved facilities and had to work out some kinks with this new building while dealing with leaky ponds. Hopefully next year we will be back on course. As far as feed training bass we have a pretty solid method worked out and it works for crappie too. As far as survival rate of bass at time of harvest vs initial stocking.....IDK . My supervisor has a great deal of experience and I can ask him then get back to you. I do know that one of the reasons we are choosing to do spotted bass is because they have great size uniformity among a corhort according to my boss.. Maybe there is less cannibalism because of their smaller mouth just a guess.

Most poaching I am aware if is done by folks gigging. You won't see gill nets in any cove and if you did it would be at night. I would be more afraid of seeing Fishinwrench sore lipping bass in my cove than any Asians or hillbillies trying to poach my fish with a gill net.

We have nothing to do with commercial fishing. When it comes to that you're dealing more with Fisheries and that is more of MU's territory. I don't know about Asian carp but i know that over by east STL smoked carp from the river is very popular.

Have you used the beetle traps that dumps them into a trash bag. We have many traps placed around our research farm and our crops are in great shape. Contact out IPM expert Dr. Jamie Pinero (573) 681-5522 Pineroj@lincolnu.edu. But, often his technician Austin Dudenhoeffer is easier to reach at austen.dudenhoeffer657@my.lincolnu.edu. I have Austen's phone number but it's his cell and not sure I permission to give it out. But, if you email him I am sure Austen can send you in the right direction to get some good traps. He can tell you which ones they use and how to put them up so that you don't waste money on brands that do not work
