Was that in Bennett? Picture looks like maybe the Bennett access on the Niangua? Beautiful fish.

I know it's a lot to ask for too many details but please share a little, just the exact GPS coordinates, style, size and color of lure, time of day, water temp, type of line and an few notes on your exact technique. You know, just a few clues. Help us catch a beauty like that!

Thanks for all the input. I'll let you know how the trip goes

Anybody have any experience chasing smallies above Bennett? I'm going solo in my kayak Saturday from Cat Hollow down to the Bennett access. I know the water is a little low but it looks like there are some holes up there. Worst case scenario: I spend a beautiful October afternoon in the mid 70's on the river. Can't be bad.

Did you intend to post an article link maybe?

Nothing wrong with a wannabe Ozark creek. I found one within 50 miles of me here in Columbia. No whoppers but did catch one 14 incher. Always manage at least a half dozen smallies and a bunch of nice sunnies and blues.

It's only a flesh wound.

Just saw this. WOW! You bought yourself a mess of trouble there, getting those kids hooked on fishing like that!

Really cool footage but I will say I'm on the fence with this whole drone thing. Kind of a love hate deal. Love the awesome footage and perspective, hate the sometimes intrusive, obnoxious aspect of them. Especially when I'm out communing with nature. Different strokes for different folks though.

What a scumbag, dirtball, douchebag! How in the world can anyone cheat like that and take pride in your accomplishment? How could you look at yourself in the mirror after essentially lying to thousands of people for a fake record and false glory? That is a lowlife with no human soul whatsoever. You can just imagine what other lies, deceptions and crimes people like this commit. Should have his sporting licenses all revoked in Missouri forever. Of course, a lowlife like this, who has already shown his total disregard for rules, will just continue to be a poacher anyway. I know, I know, it's just a fish but it shows what a lowlife this person really is.

Wrench, I think the bear would have spit you out. You seem a little salty to me.

Thanks for your river clean up. Nice find.

Live streaming. Just watched a guy catch one on the top of the dam. My non trout friends here at work can't believe people walk up there!

Whoops, I meant to put this in the boat topic. Sorry. Thanks for the info so far.

I just got a little 14 x 36 jon boat and was wondering about putting a front deck with a pedestal seat on it. I've seen photos of tons of them like that. I was just wondering it that would be very stable.. Opinions are of course welcome, but I'm hoping for some first hand experience. Thanks

Where you talking about One Shot? I don't know where you live.

75,000? I think that's an extra 0! That's 34 fish per person. I read elsewhere it's 7500.

Uhhhmmmm? Because dirtball scumbag inbred poachers don't have ethics?

Is that anything like "The angle of the dangle is directly proportional to"......?

Has anyone claimed the Triple Lindy yet?

You're just a quadroon hillbilly, not enough hillbilly in your blood. But those pictures of Oneshot...he's full blooded!

Agreed. Bundy has NOTHING to do with this deal. The people involved don't even want him there.

Occam's Fly--When presented with multiple flies of varying complexity, the simplest one is usually correct.

One more thing I forgot: A paddle holder. Mine came with a Scotty's Paddle holder that bolts right on to the side.
