Ol boy officially made a $101500 mistake. Only 7 pounder of the weekend. Usually quite a few 7's caught no spring bash weekend but not this year.

I enjoyed the Crisco cameo on Wheeler's Sunday live stream.

It's not up to the weigh in crew to baby sit the anglers though. The rule is clearly stated in rule #5 under Weigh In Rules and Regulations. https://midwestfishtournaments.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bbbrules_2024season.pdf

I feel like the best way to handle this would be to allow multiple fish to be weighed in, but you can only claim your biggest fish and the previous fish is disqualified. I'm assuming they have these rules in place to try and allow more anglers to place during the hourly weigh ins so only accepting a single fish would accomplish the same thing. It just doesn't make sense to me to disqualify both fish in this instance but if that is what the rule states then it is what it is. It's ultimately on the anglers to know the rules.

Missed on $1500 for sure, but very likely would have held on to a top 4 overall spot with how the weights are looking. Considering it was the only 7 pounder weighed in so far, this guy possibly missed out on $101500 by weighing two fish during the same time slot.

Serial killer behavior. It doesn't matter what MDC does. People are going to cry about them regardless. Just like everything in life. Some people aren't happy unless they are crying about something.n Seems like a pretty miserable existence but that's just my opinion.

Who the heck is cutting onions in the office this morning? I'm sorry to hear that Phil. Jackson lived a great life though and enjoyed it to the very end. I'll miss seeing him when we come down for the winter trout tourneys from now on. Those fur babies always take a little piece of your heart with them when they cross the rainbow bridge. It hurts like no other, but that just reminds you that all the days you got to enjoy with them meant so much. It's a shame that they dont' live nearly as long as us. Anytime we've lost a pet, we tell ourselves we aren't sure if we can handle losing another one in the future. After a few months, we always end up coming to terms with the fact that losing one sucks A LOT, but not having one to enjoy life with sucks even more. Losing a good pet is one of lifes worst experiences, but the enjoyment of having a good dog by your side for years is one of lifes best at the same time.

Just drink a few slugs of water from a garden hose and smear some mud on your achilles area and go fishing. You'll be fixed up in no time. 😁

We fished between hwy 5 bridge over to the mouth of Linn Creek this past weekend. Caught and cleaned a three man limit of crappie Saturday and Sunday. Side scanned the first few docks inside main lake points in that area and found crappie on most. Some were bitier than others so you just had to run that pattern until you found ones that were reachable and eating. Not many shorts and only had a few over 11". Lots of 9.5-10" eaters though which I'm totally fine with. It did seem like the largest crappie were sitting very shallow under the docks an would bite immediately whereas the smaller fish were hanging down 5-10' deep. I checked a few condo docks in the area and could usually find at least one spot that held fish on the entire dock. Most weren't reachable though due to boats being in the way. The one spot we were able to reach produced several fish.

Yes it is.

Trey McKinney is the modern day Aaron Martens. Two Classic appearances in a row and took second each time.

It's too bad BPS never carried the 3#. You had to choose between 2# or 4#. I always had to order it online, usually from FishUSA.

Good line at a good price. I use Maxima Ultragreen these days, but used the Floroclear for years prior. Can't say it ever gave me any issues.

I've purchased a different boat so the old one now has to go. -2017 Legend SS 1860 vbass -2013 Evinrude Etec 150 OBJ (est 500-600 hours) -2014 Haulrite single axle trailer -20 gallon fuel cell -group 31 AGM for starting/graphs -2x group 27 lead acids for trolling motor -Minnkota 318 Precision onboard charger -bluetooth radio w/ 4 speakers -two aerated livewells (one front and one rear) -removable deck extension -Minnkota Maxxum 24v trolling motor -Humminbird helix 9 Chirp Mega SI G2N at console -Humminbird 998 with 2D puck transducer at bow -Removeable heavy duty T-bars w/ Fishbite Rage rod holders -two folding seats w/ pedestals -gigging rail with 30w LED lights If you are looking for a setup that needs nothing and is ready to chase anything that swims in Missouri then this is the rig for you. I've owned the outboard since June 2014 when I purchased it new from Cowtown USA in Cuba, MO. The outboard has been serviced at Cowtown every 3 years as recommended by BRP. Asking $20000.

I can do this when I’m going hunting or fishing. Waking up early for work is a different story though…..
