  1. The fish doctor is prone to being swallowed as well and you basically just slowly reel it in so you have contact with the bait the entire time. I've only fished it a few times and didn't have any fish swallow it, but I could see where one could easily do it IF they bit and swam towards you. I've fished the NED a lot in the winter and have had very few fish swallow it. With that said, I've had some other guys fishing with me on those days using and NED and they had several fish hooked deep with it. I think a lot of it comes down to being able to detect a bite in decent time.
  2. I bought my "nused" 2011 Silverado last July and have put 17k miles on it already. Work is only 20 minutes from the house so I don't put many miles on it for work. Those Taneycomo and LoZ trips add up in a hurry!
  3. Kids day is this coming Saturday. There will be plenty of fish in the stream Sunday. I've not been down for a kids day in years, but it sounds like I may actually have a couple buddies that are interested in bringing their kids this year. Hopefully they don't bail on us last minute. I'm excited to see them catch their first trout.
  4. I have that motto on all species of fish. Eat the smaller keepers and put back the big ones. I’ll be honest though, walleye and crappie usually don’t get the same treatment.
  5. The backup camera is the only modern feature I wish I had on truck. As long as it has starts, had working 4wd and lets me play music from my phone, I am happy.

    Crappie

    Tablerock doesn't produce the numbers like LoZ, Truman, etc. but it does produce some of the nicest quality fish in the state though.
  7. You did the right thing. I fish a couple river clubs and if somebody is being a jack leg and giving us a bad image, we would want to know so as to let the problematic angler know that they need to cut the crap or get out.
  8. The vibe I got from your post was that due to one bad egg, all tournament anglers should be punished. @DADAKOTA did you see it that way as well? I thought your post was spot on.
  9. 4” caffeine shad and the 4.5-5” BPS speed shad, Keitech Impact fat, strike Rage Seimmer and RI skinny dippers. Haven’t tried anything over 5” yet mainly since I mainly fish the Gasconade. I’ve got some 6” Keitechs for the next time I venture to the Osage.
  10. I started fishing swimbaits quite a bit last year and I mainly used VMC Heavy Duty swimbait hooks in 4/0 and 5/0. The 4/0 was used for the 3.75-4" swimbaits and the 5/0 for swimbaits up to 5". They seemed to work fine, but I definitely missed far more fish rigged weedless than I do with an open jighead. Not sure if I need to let them hold on the to the bait for a few seconds before setting the hook or what. Mainly happened on smaller fish though so maybe that's just part of using swimbaits. No issues hooking up with quality fish.
  11. If you think TRL is bad, you should come spend a weekend on Lake of the Ozarks!
  12. Everybody always making fun of my rubber crappie net! I'll have you know that I did not experience any of these issues when netting my buddies 4.96# brown last year! It has been used for netting blue cats up to 12# as well.
  13. Your employer got tired of you wasting too much time on here and ordered the net admins to specifically block your devices. I also heard through the grapevine Verizon started a new anti-fishing campaign and will be restricting related traffic on all of their data networks. Looks like you're just out of luck!
  14. I guess I've been lucky since I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary when accessing the forum.
  15. That was part of my problem. Since I was sitting fairly high, I decided to play it safe and go with what the majority of the pundits were picking. Christie killed me last tourney and I bailed on him this time. That was a big mistake.
  16. Doh! I knew that. Not sure what I was thinking! I'll fix it..... JesterHK, DJ, JD, JDmidwest.....close enough.
  17. Man, if it weren't for killing it with my classic pics, I would be hurting. Three sub 1000 tournaments and then the one well over 1300 that is saving my bacon.
  18. I know this is about a month after the fact, but here is some footage of the nicer fish I boated during the CAM tournament. The main thing to watch in the video is the mad net skills that @JestersHK was blessed with!
  19. I just checked the historical levels and you have to go back to 2011 to find a May where it hit 656. It has always been 657 to 658 by now.
  20. That crappie in your left hand on the second picture might be the prettiest crappie I've ever seen!
  21. You're going to the wrong lake if you don't like crappie or largemouth. LoZ is arguably the best for both in the state of MO.
  22. Break it in half and thread it on the hook inline like you would a grub, NED rig, etc.
  23. I really need to make it down for that one of these years. Seems like I always have other plans during that time though.
  24. Basically if an angler has a high ownership and flops, he hurts a lot of people. If you pick a guy who does really well and has a low ownership, you make up ground against the majority. I try to mix my teams up by oucking some dark horses and going with a few of the heavy favorites to hedge my picks.
  25. Christie killed me this time around. The only saving grace to him is that he had a really high ownership so he hurt a lot of other people as well. I figured him and Evers were the two most obvious picks for this event, but neither did very well. Bailing on Wheeler hurt me as well. I botched this one.....
