200 Missouri Smallmouth Adventures

[eric1978]

I just saw a copy of 200 Missouri Smallmouth Adventures by Chuck Tyron on eBay and they were asking $278.95 for it. Uh...can someone explain that to me?

It must be a really nice one!!

Good book but I don't think it's worth that.

1. Because they can.

2. Because a fool and his money are soon parted.

3. Because people will buy anything, as long as it's for sale.

4. We buy tap water don't we?

5. It's on E-Bay!

6. $278 is as good a starting place as any.

7. Wait 'til it gets to $150, then pounce.

Asking ain't selling.

For that kind of money Chuck just might take you fishing....money well spent if he would.

Its available elsewhere....Chuck's health isnt good, and he gave the rights to the book to Missouri Smallmouth Alliance. Its been virtually unavailable for a couple months.

Tom Hargrove got some from MSA a week or two a go, and I'm sure that he'd give you a much better price...www.thargrove.com

I bought it off of Amazon I guess 3 or 4 years ago. Haven't checked, but probably not there now I guess?

I'll sell ya my copy for only $125.00.

I'm sorry to hear that Chuck's having health problems, but I'd love to recover about 2000.00 worth of the gas money (and wear-n-tear) that I wasted by following many of his leads. Gotta hand it to him for the superb CYA though....disclaimers on every page, and plenty of good water left out.

I kinda wonder if he didn't simply do a good portion of his "prospecting" solely from the keyboard and kitchen table, armed with nothing more than a Gazetter and Google Earth. Nevertheless he is a respected icon in the Missouri fishing circle and I certainly wish him good health and good fortune. There's no denying that everyone who fishes Missouri streams should personally own a copy of every book he has had published.

Gotta agree with some of what your saying fishinwrench. I went on a few wild goose chases myself. But, that's the nature of the game. "The adventure", that is.
