And Blue Herons??? Maybe they will be the road kill.

hey Harv, How ya been ol buddy?? Dang long time no see. Any way welcome to the forum, you will find lots of exciting things going on in here. And you willl find a little that will make you wanna grit your teeth. good luck at Montauk

All these replys are on the money. Let me assure you, an all night tournament on LOZ in June, with boat traffic as it is, can be both phyically exhausting and mentally draining. Not a good place to start. I can't add anything to what has all ready been said.

I for got to mention, 2 weeks ago 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers all relocated their fish from the Glaze back to the Osage. lol

Well, Laker, that is a good point. I venture to say your numbers are way low, which is not the point. 3 years ago the Big Niangua was a hot honey hole, with lots of big fish being caught (and relocated to PB2, Linn Creek, Red Feather) The last 2 years has seen a decline in numbers of big ol bass on the Niangua. As for shooting ourselves in the foot, we just fish a different body of water, (and still move them to another area). Holpe I get to relocate 20 lbs this Sunday. lol I dunno, but this is food for thought.

This is WAY to much work to make a trout fit to eat.

I like it!!

And on and on it goes, no matter the subject, it all comes down to Liberal vs Conservative. I am sick of this political BS being brought up in every topic. Yes, you are correct, if I don't like it, don't read it. There is always the "power off". Guess that is why I am only on here every few monthes, It never changes.

of course I do. Ruger LCP, 380

#1 knot failure #2 bad line #3 missing, cracked, or sharp edge on rod guide ceramic.

Practice, Practice, practice. Don't give up!!!!

This was indeed a strange sighting. "Twilight Zone" stuff.

"big mouth buffalo"?????? how did I get that handle?

Laker, I have heard this story several times and I must say this is the best. I got to hear and remember the details of that day. I don't care who you are this is truely a remarkable catch, a catch of a life time. And you, my friend, paid your dues and earned that catch. "you done good" I must add you were extremly fortunate in haveing people on the creek that did have stream courtesy, it is almost unheard of these days. Kinda the reason I don't trout fish nearly as much as I used to. In the "old days" I can remember of not having anyone with in yards of us. Any ways I injoyed your interveiw.

Well, what an interesting read. I would not be a bit surprised if the real culprit in the disappearence of the native species of crawdaddies, and even the beloved smallie, would be the "invasive" otter. They maim and kill for the pure injoyment of killing. I can't think of any thing the MDC has done to really P*** me off other than the otter. (maybe a bear or two) Rant??? Why not?
