Aw c'mon! The speedo-wearing driver of the Mustang said he was sorry! In his defense, he thought it was just gonna be air.
An important lesson was learned... remove the speedo first.
I offer high entertainment value, but only about a 50% chance of successfully netting your fish. To be fair though, if the jousting and stabbing motions I make at the fish with the net manage to dislodge it...it probably wasn't hooked very well in the first place. 😅
You went to the haystack and found TWO needles!! Awesome fishes!
If you ever decide you want to catch a small fish, just to see what that's like....I can help.
I love seeing the big fish you catch! Keep 'em coming, please!
Plus, this technique is better for the environment. Your kidneys will help filter the water you drink. Otherwise, you just be pumping/dumping filthy bilge water!
I caught some Goldeye each of the first 2 years after I moved to StL, but none last year (although @Ham caught a nice one...14"?) and none this year. Strange. I suspect the water levels in the MO River and creek I fish have not allowed fish to migrate up this tributary like they normally would.
Very cool fish!
