Greasy B Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I’ll try to make it. I’ve been a longtime member of the MSA but admittedly have not attended very many meetings. I do recall a few that stand out. One meeting Al gave an explanation on how to use satellite images to locate potential Smallmouth habitats and how to interpret the USGS real time water gages. At the time I had experience using both but after that evening my understanding raised to a higher level. Now hardly a day goes by when I don’t check the river stages, especially during wet and dry spells. And as a part of my angling ritual I always look at Google Earth images of my destination before and after every trip. Technology has gone a long way to aid my understanding of the places I love. I also remember listening to Charley Campbell preach the good word of the dog and how to do the walk. Charley just lit up when he describe his experiences on the middle Gasconade, what a treasure. Then there was the evening Otto Fagen told us the story of the 12” statewide length limit, how he was so sure the powers that be would reject the proposal. If I recall correctly Otto said the 12” limit was approved with so little resistance he wished he would have proposed 14”. Can you imagine what those 2” would have meant to those of us who live to fish for stream bass. I need to really try to make this meeting.

He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
