Yeah but the small fish taste better. :P

I think the MDC was a fine organization but as brownieman says "since the got the 1/8 cent sales tax...." they have gone downhill. I agree with him in that statement. They quit being a working organization and became a revenue earner for the state plain and simple. Think about it, with all the billions they have, they cut trout limits by 20% and reduced the numbers stocked to work on the hatchery at Taney. They have earned millions or more like billions from sales tax earnings, license fees ect but when it came time to do some maintenance and improvements they would not do it unless the public was going to pay extra for it. They were unwilling to put any money back into the infrastructure that supports their org. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Bottom line, they have became exceedingly greedy.

Boaters are good about it especially to bank fishermen. I guess they figure bank fishermen are a non-threat target since we can't give pursuit. I was fishing at Rockaway Beach fishing dock when a boat came by the dock so close he tangled everyones lines, made a heck of a mess. I mean he wasn't 5 feet from the dock and running flat out. I wonder how hard mono is on the lower unit of an outboard. Another time a high powered boat got right in front of the dock and threw the biggest wakes possible for about 20 minutes.

He was a real fighter and acrobatic too. When I set the hook he jumped clean over my head and landed behind me.

I realize they stock other species. I was being sarcastic hence the silly icon however, there is no where the bucks spent on other fish as there are on Trout, but then most catfishermen don't buy $1000+ fishing rods or $30,000+ bass boats, so they don't generate near the sales or income tax for the MDC/State as other fish do. You are right catfish are the number one pursued fish in MO but you couldn't tell it by the amount of bucks spent on them.

It finally happened. I caught a fish!!!

Aren't there fish other than trout the MDC could spend a little money on stocking or is it that they just want to spend money on the big money earners.

I have never fished it but would like to. I have heard it can be really good this time of year.

Hello 'pop and welcome to the forum. You should find all the info you need here. With kids along I would stick with the power bait.

Pegasus = Steve Miller Band Bluegrass Rules

Yeah, but my dachshund is only half a dog tall.....

More than a feeling..... Anyone remember this band? Or better yet, Name this band

LOL

Or better yet those 1.5 lb 'gills ..............

I thought culling was illegal year round?

It is possible to get frustrated fishing?? I always thought of fishing as the one thing I can do, all day long, without getting tired or bored. Think about it can you name one thing that you would rather do all day long than fishing?

Yeah! Well a 5 lb bow can beat up a 5 lb brown any day.

One of the many colors of gray.

Yea, but I don't think he was sitting in his yard watching the purple martins and typing on his laptop while grilling chicken wings when he died.

This could be a popular new sport.....Subs on TR......

I hate it when I am BBQ'ing and a drop of A1 falls on the grill.

Dont pay any attention to Terry he has a big udder complex.

It will probably bring a bunch more idiots. So, when can I come to the shop and pick up my copy Mr. Kyle?

You got me there but, I hope he isnt worried about it because he is sticking his head in the grill Maybe you were on to something when you mentioned the special oregano. Yeah but you can always spot the drivers who are bbq'ing behind the wheel from all of the smoke coming out of the windows. Gives you time to get out of their way. :

Jeez. Is he trying to make up for size inadequacy.
