Like I said, ya gotta love 'em all guys! Thanks for sharing.Keep 'em coming (even if you don't fish Stockton). I really would like to see the '67 Stock Tank hknfsh! WM

Big and small, we like 'em all!!! Post a picture of your boat! 2006 Ranger Reata 210 Evinrude ETEC 225 HO WM

Sweet boat zarraspook. Might need to start a big and small we like 'em all post a pick of your Stockton fishing boat thread! WM

Wow! Your on 'em racer. I usually consider the bass I catch on Stockton to be a nuisance, but those might actually be fun! WM

So sorry for your loss lmt out, but thanks for reminding us all how precious our time with family is. Glad you and your dad made some great Stockton Lake memories and you shared them with us. I'll be praying for strength for you and your family during this difficult time. BTW everyone knows all the walleye in Heaven are 10lbs+ so you'll need to pick up the pace to keep up with your dad from now on. WM

My asparagus bed is producing quite well right now. I just picked a couple of pounds and will have a bunch ready tomorrow as well. Does anybody have any good recipes for canning, pickling, or freezing asparagus? The stuff I've tried in the past ended up too mushy for me. Thanks! WM

My wife always either catches more than I do, or catches the biggest fish of the day. I like to think it's because she has a great guide! WM

That is a really cool color combination. I'll watch for ya on the lake...if I ever make it down there! WM

C'mon Nekia, post some pictures of that girl!!! WM

I'm with you BBF, carp is some good eating if it's cleaned and scored properly. Cleanin' them is too much work for me though, I just grab a carp dinner at Joe Tess' in Omaha whenever I get a chance. WM

2006 ETEC 225 HO here. Have had ZERO problems (Knock on wood!) Only advantage I can see with Merc is they seem to have a larger network of certified mechanics. Hmmm maybe there's a reason for that?? LOL! I'm thinking all of the major manufacturers of outboards are making a pretty good product these days. WM

That boat won't last long at that price. Nice rig J-Doc. Welcome to the Ranger family! WM

Nice job DD. Thanks for sharing the pics of your trip. I know of some pretty good Stockton fisherpeople that had no or limited success last weekend. I gotta get down there! WM

I Like B and C. But...I probably would be more interested in buying one if the fish outlines were multiple species. B could have five different species, C could have three. Gotta try to reach out to those of us that don't target bass! WM

What a great photo. Thanks for sharing it! May God give you and your family the strength to deal with the road ahead. For a time, looking at that picture will make you cry...eventually it will make you smile again. Prayers sent. WM

I didn't spend much time looking, and didn't find the specific night time speed law, but i found a couple of old 4th of July press releases from the MO water patrol making mention of the night time speed limit being 30 mph. Hitting a submerged bridge pillar at 30 mph in a boat would be pretty devastating, I would think. WM

Sorry, not a Beaver Lake peep, but that looks tasty. Gonna have to try your recipe on some Stockton walleye, if I can ever get down there! WM

Sexual misconduct, first degree, penalties. 566.093. 1. A person commits the offense of sexual misconduct in the first degree if such person: (1) Exposes his or her genitals under circumstances in which he or she knows that his or her conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm; (2) Has sexual contact in the presence of a third person or persons under circumstances in which he or she knows that such conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm; or (3) Has sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse in a public place in the presence of a third person. 2. The offense of sexual misconduct in the first degree is a class B misdemeanor unless the person has previously been found guilty of an offense under this chapter, in which case it is a class A misdemeanor. (L. 1994 S.B. 693, A.L. 2004 H.B. 1055, A.L. 2013 H.B. 215) Subsection 1 of paragraph 1 is the closest thing I've found that could maybe be construed from public urination, which was also included among many other statutes in F&F's link. But, this is a misdemeanor crime and the SOR website refers to registration required for felony convictions of crimes in this section. I wish I knew a prosecutor or judge in MO that I could ask for their legal opinion, but I don't. That being said, I do respect the opinion of many who have posted here, best be careful when answering nature's call. WM

From the Missouri sex offender registry website... Offenses Requiring Registration (589.400) Any felony offenses in Chapter 566, RSMo, Including attempts and conspiracies. Any offense in Chapter 566, RSMo when the victim is a minor. Offenses not under Chapter 566, RSMo that require registration are: Kidnapping when the victim was a child, pursuant to Section 565.110, RSMo - excluding kidnapping by parent/guardian. (589.400.6) Felonious restraint when the victim was a child- when not the parent or guardian Promoting prostitution in the first, second, and third degree Sexual exploitation of a minor Promoting child pornography in the first and second degree Possession of child pornography, furnishing pornographic material to minors Public display of explicit sexual material Coercing acceptance of obscene material Promoting obscenity in the first degree Promoting pornography for minors or obscenity in the second degree Incest Use of a child in a sexual performance Promoting sexual performance by a child Endangering the welfare of a child, pursuant to 568.045, when endangerment is sexual in nature Sexual contact of sexual intercourse with a resident of a nursing home Genital mutilation of a female child Furnishing pornographic material to minors Abuse of a child when such abuse is sexual in nature Juvenile offenders, certified as adults, who have committed an offense comparable to or more severe than aggravated sexual abuse Juvenile offenders fourteen years of age of older who are adjudicated of an offense that is comparable to or more severe than aggravated sexual abuse I don't see anything indicating that urinating in public would constitute an offense that would require registration in Missouri. I'm no attorney, but I think it would be difficult for an prosecutor to convince a judge that anything about urinating was sexual in nature. I'll research your laws more later, have to get back to work. WM

We call them green worms. They are fairly plentiful along the banks of the Missouri River. Good fish bait, and they do have a bad odor. WM

http://walleye.outdoorsfirst.com/videos/01.16.2014/6654/Rangers.NEW.VS.Deep.V.Aluminum/ Here's a video I found today of the Ranger aluminum deep V which was shot at a boat show in Minnesota, I believe. Sounds like they'll be around $25K with few oprions added. WM

Good lookin spinners, there mic. Adding the swivel was a nice touch, and the single hooks will give you many options to add all sorts of plastics to attract the big ones. Wish I was on your Christmas list as well. WM

http://vexilar.com/info/sonarphone-mobile-depth-sounder-app/ Saw this in a Cabelas catalog i received today. Looks interesting, might be a cheap sonar option for a pond boat, kayak, float tube, or any boat for that matter. Hopefully competition from technologies like this will drive the prices of graphs down in the future. WM

Here's a short youtube video that Walleye Pro Jim Carroll posted recently. They are fishing jiggin raps in North Dakota. He doesn't spend a lot of time explaining the technique, but I think it's worth a watch. Interestingly, he catches many of his fish on the end hooks, which PD prefers to cut off. Maybe Lake Sakakawea isn't as snaggy on the bottom as Stockton is. WM

Very well written and informative article there PD. Makes me feel like I'm back in the boat with you, but I thought the wind always blows in the winter on Stockton! LOL WM
