Can You Catch More Fish...

[FishinCricket]

I believe I will.

Does this forum have an ignore button??

Indeed, it does.

Feel like dislodging that corn cobb long enough to explain what the heck your problem is?

"Certain species in designated waters may be taken by the use of bow, crossbow, gig, atlatl, snare or by underwater spearfishing, snagging or grabbing."

You like to pick and choose don't you??

I notice it says nothing about using a chamber pot, hemostats, hairnet or otherwise... I just called operation game thief and they concur, saying:

"If it isnt defined as legal in the wildlife code, it is ILLEGAL!!"

Easy girls!

Hemostat: Grabbing.

Chamber Pot: Snare.

Hairnet: Are they a middle school lunch lady?

It's obvious you like to create your own definitions... For your edification:

Here's the MDC link:

http://mdc.mo.gov/about-us/regulations/regulations-and-permits-definitions

"Grabbing:

Snagging or attempting to snag a fish by means of a pole, line and hook manipulated by hand."

Don't see anything about hemostats or chamberpots there... A set of hemostats/chamberpot/plastic bag/lunch lady hairnet is neither a pole, line or hook...

While you're at it, might check into what MDC defines as a "gamefish":

"Game Fish:

Rock bass (goggle-eye), warmouth, northern pike, muskellunge, tiger muskie, muskie-pike hybrid, chain pickerel, grass pickerel, all species of catfish except bullheads, all species of black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted), paddlefish (spoonbill), all species of crappie, white bass, yellow bass and striped bass, trout, walleye, sauger and shovelnose sturgeon."

Oh, and your chamberpot/mason jar is totally illegal.. Here:

"Fish traps, including slat and wire ones, may not be possessed on waters in Missouri or on adjacent banks. However, live-bait traps are allowed."

Sounds like you're only allowed to use your chamberpot to catch the bait.

Could you be any more wrong?

I love how you jump to the conclusion that you are going to win..

Well, that confidence comes from knowing what the heck I'm talking about... You obviously didn't when you jumped into this conversation...

Because I do have a point

And that is what? That you can gig/snag more fish from a jet boat than from a canoe or kayak?

Okay, thanks.. Now go start a thread about it, the adults are trying to talk on this one...

Wow

I could call the pot whatever I'd like. Therefore that pot could be a live-trap.

I didn't what? Know what I was talking about? This was started by me saying Carp are a gamefish then others jump on me for disagreeing with their god's book. (MDC)

Man, it sure what fun verbally abusing each other with you. But I believe I'm going to drop this. It's Christmas time and I'm pretty bored with this. Maybe we could start another thread in the spring about the best way to wrestle some bears.

See you then!

You can't "live trap" a game fish... Only bait.

Well, they do write the tickets, you know....

And even the godless would agree that a carp isn't a Gamefish (as defined by the powers that be)
