Right now, I see it as an employee or two getting into the Astros database. Cards upper level management is denying any involvement (through an attorney). If this is the case, I doubt that MLB will punish the Cards organization.

Great stuff.

Yep, what he says. Don't be afraid to ask the guide for tips on where to go and what to use for the rest of your trip.

Every time I watch the Cops TV show, the runners always get caught. What's funny is a lot of them are young, athletic looking guys (the runners) and the cops are, for the most part middle aged and maybe not the fastest runners in the world. But they always catch them. Of course I know it's a TV show, and that's not always the case.

There's a bunch of different Okuma model spinning reels on sale in Cabelas Bargain Cave. Never owned an Okuma so I could not recommend a model. They have a Cabelas Prodigy on sale there now also, it's a Daiwa that's sold under Cabelas name. I don't know what Daiwa model it compares to, but with a little research you could find out I'm sure.

Getting out my map right now...

According to Federal law, it depends on what the state law says. The Terry rule has developed quite a bit since 1968, but some aspects remain murky. In particular, if the suspect refuses to give his name or any identifiers, may an officer arrest the suspect? According to the Supreme Court, the police may arrest for failure to identify if state law criminalizes such behavior. Doing a little more research I see that Missouri is a state where you could be arrested for failure to provide identity. I think there is more to it than just that, but if a police officer (and I assume wardens are considered law enforcement) has a reason to ask for your identity, and you walk away, then you could be subject to arrest.

HAHA, I think you know what I mean, but for clarity let's say just 20% in the next year.

Well funeral homes would benefit greatly if we all die. Sorry to hear you are in a business where you make money off other people's misfortune. There's a heck of a difference between that and the fishing business.

I don't disagree with that, but walleye fishermen tend to keep the keeper walleye, at least in TR. And I don't have a problem with that, but what I am pointing out, is that it is what they do, most bass fishermen release their bass, it's what they do. And walleye fishermen, for the most part, don't have a problem with keeping walleye, it's a different mindset than bass fishermen, and, I'm not condemning one group or the other. There was a discussion on the Beaver forum about keeping walleye, everyone, including the AGFC biologist, seemed to think it was fine to keep every legal walleye you could catch. I don't have a problem with that, but I would not want to see every bass fisherman (and all others) keep every legal bass they could keep.

Sure they all bring in money, and that is good for the businesses that deal in that kind of stuff. BTW, what fish is shown on the HLS logo?

Nope, that wasn't my point at all. But it is one of the benefits.

Common sense and observation. But if you have data showing another species brings in more buck to the local economy, please share.

I always thought that was part of getting a game license - that you could be asked for it by the AGFC. Sounds like they will have to see you commit a violation before asking for your license if this holds up. When I lived in Massachusetts you were required to wear your license (hunting or fishing) on the outside of your clothing. Don't know if that is still the law there however.

Not really - almost every walleye fisherman I know on TR keeps the legal walleye they catch. And AGFC stocks walleye fingerlings into the lake.

From an economic stand point they are the most important fish.

Dude, guys gave me a hard time for posting pictures of keeper walleye that I released. You can't win around here.

I've said before that there's a reasonable number of fish that can be kept. I think there's a post on here somewhere where Phil quoted the MDC as saying that an overwhelming majority of bass anglers practice catch and release. As long as it's a reasonable number, I'm OK with it. If every one of us kept every bass over 15" that we caught, they would not be abundant anymore. At least the keepers would not be.

I was just telling someone the other day that some people seem to want to keep bass out of spite. Sadly, that has just been confirmed.

I keep saying I want to be part of this vast secret Ned financial conspiracy, but no one has yet sent me a check.

Thanks for the pic, that is an ugly color. Might be some good catfishing If there is any access around there.

Nice brownies BTW, I am very jealous.

I would have to think that this was the work of a lower level employee or two. Can't see someone like Mozeliak being involved.

Yep, and the Royals took two from the Brewers.

Fillet a brown fish in the state of Missouri, this will be the reaction:
