Water patrol told me "any motorized vessel", to include electronic motors (motorized) as well as canoes (vessels)... So yes, if you put a motor on it it has to be registered.. No motor, no registration. (this is Water patrol verbatim)

Wait, so killing Bambi is more humane than killing Beefy (Bambi's raised for slaughter cousin)? Hmmmm.... How do you spin that one? lol

Wow, now there's a pastime you don't see every day... Good for you, man!! (warning, this post is not fishing related)

:joke_alert: I forwarded this to the person who sets the regs at MDC, they replied:

Indeed, the possession limit is only twice the daily limit... Which poses a different question: How does the MDC confirm where you caught the fish? Agent and Consumer conversation: Agent: "do you have any fish in your cooler, sir?" Consumer: "yes, officer, a few browns..." Agent: "sir, you have 7 lunker brown trout in your cooler, did you say you were here fishing the river below, or in the park?" Consumer: "is there a difference?" Agent: "If these were caught below the park then I'll hafta write you a ticket!" Consumer: "oh, well those were all caught in the park then..." ________ Someone needs to teach the MDC to write regulations... :shakes_head:

You mis-understand.. I'm sure you're correct, I just think it (being allowed to cull during a tournament) is a load of horse manure... You should hafta follow state regs to a T..

That's so the amateurs in the park will stand a chance against you professionals on the stream...

Well that's horse pucky.... (not that I keep or cull).

If it wasn't then they couldn't cull in tournaments...

If they are monitoring then they'll see the Facebook post... I'm sure Idlewylde is just protecting himself.. Not that I don't believe you, but I'm having trouble finding it in the regs... Could you point out where the limit on browns is 1 per day? I can't even find it in the state regs anywhere.. I recall it being law at one point, but I can't prove it with a link... Help?

Apparently not...

There, I fixed that for ya... Lol FWIW, I feel the same as you.. I just also expand that to the convenience store, grocery store, movie theater, etc... And it don't happen.. If you haven't watch "Idiocracy", do so immediately... The first 10 minutes says it all...

It musta changed when they dropped the length limit to 15, cause I'm pretty sure I know an Ol boy who learned the hard way... Did you see Taney is still 18+ inches and 1/day?

Yeah, that's what I meant.. If there were no recognition involved, would he still do it? What if they only gave a patch for catch and release?

Here's a question: would this guy still be doing this if the local fly shop wasn't putting his photo on a wall somewhere?

Well I was gonna skip lunch today, but then I found this thread... (warning, this post is not fishing related)

I think I'm jealous!! lol Maybe he's just that good? I know I am!!

Those are two different spots you two are describing, and (from what I understand) they are putting in more camping upstream from the bridge and a private access downstream from "MY Island"... Capitalism, gotta love it!!

Wow!! Uhm, no.. You're a disc golfer, I'm just a schmo who owns a few discs and actually knows what the game is.. lol (round here that's relatively rare) I learned to play in Columbia, Mo (collegetown) when I was younger... Lebanon has a small course, but it's rarely used.. Yes, Bennett is the Trout Park, you also have a 5-10miles stretch of river (Niangua) below the park that holds trout.. The rest is also excellent Bass fishing... There are too many awesome natural features, rivers, caves state park areas etc around here to list, but if you have questions feel free to ask... We're proud of our Ozarks and we don't mind sharing, providing you are willing to leave only footprints..

Welcome!! I'm not a bot either, but I do domo arigato, Mr Roboto... I'm from down in Lebanon, by the trout Park... Lemme know when you make it down this way, I'd be happy to show you around.. We have not only a pretty cool trout park but also a nice trout river and two big Smallie river/creeks.. Fun fly fishing... (not to mention the periodic creek runs you have happening all around you down there) Enjoy the Ozarks, and again, Welcome!!!

Just having a little fun with a friend who can take it...

Look like it'll stand up to any amount of scrutiny then, eh? I'll bet Chief doesn't even consider deleting it! Maybe Master P will come along and defend him? (I know, I'm an immature little punk.... Captain Obvious told me so!!)

Those last two pictures are of the same fish, Chief... I can tell by the coloring of the pectoral fin..
