Flyfished Saturday. I had caught Koi on the fly rod in every month of the year except June, so I wanted to close that loop. Also got to demonstrate my technique to a very nice Police Officer. The fish cooperated quickly, making me look like I really knew what I was doing. The Officer was kind enough to act impressed. HA! I caught 16 Koi and 6 Goldfish before deciding to fish elsewhere for other species.

I think these will really catch on as a food fish if we change the name. I would imagine many folks might be averse to to eating something with the word "snake" in it? How about: Great-Wall Walleye? Shanghai Salmon? Ghengis Grouper? Halibut of the Huns? Fifth Dynasty Dorado? Peking Perch? Taiwan Trout?

Nice ones, @Ham !

Wow! Real Beauties!
-
Wow! That is a really cool fish!!

I would say....Mix it up. Not every fish needs to be big to be enjoyed. Look forward to catching a bigger fish once in awhile. Big fish are often a reward for having fished in the right place correctly in that moment.

Caught some colorful Green Sunfish: And some naturally-occurring Hybrid Sunfish as well:
-
Landed 5 Shortnose Gar. 3 biggest were nice ones.... 23", 25.5", and 26"!
-
3 little Channel Cats decided to hit flies as well.
-
Caught 5 Grass Carp while flyfishing on Sunday. Largest one measured 31", ~ 12 lbs.
-
That IS a good one! I've always thought they looked more similar to a crappie than anything else.... or maybe like a cross between a rock bass and crappie. They are high on my wish list to catch.

Friendly serpent....swam straight across the water right to my feet. A few minutes later I saw it giving a dead carp a big hug. So kind. Then I thought, MAYBE the snake is trying to give the carp CPR. Just in case it was the latter, I phoned 911. They refused to send help, since neither the snake nor carp had insurance.

😁 Like stickers of companies that aren't our sponsors? 😅 -
Also caught some big bluegills while in Iowa. A half-dozen or so were 10" or better, with the biggest one being 10.5". Also caught some bass.

Went to Iowa this past weekend for my daughter's wedding. Wanted to catch a Pumpkinseed Sunfish while there, since they aren't in Missouri. The first place we tried was weed choked and nearly impossible to fish. Tried a different pond nearby and caught one! Species #59 on the fly rod this year.

When I pulled this out of the water, I was REALLY hoping it was a baby Flathead Catfish...but it isn't. Yellow Bullhead: Shortnose Gar: Lots of snakes seen. I was really excited to see the big black Western Ratsnake stretched across the trail (right half of picture below). It let me take some pictures and then I edged around it and we both went on our separate ways.

Shoot. One time (maybe more than one time), a buddy called me to say the white bass were going bonkers along shore at a local reservoir. Come on over! I jumped in the car, drove over, pulled in the parking lot, could SEE the fish busting and frothing the surface, and my buddy catching fish. I opened my car door....and it was like somebody turned off the hot tub. Nothing. You can't convince me it wasn't ME.
