Gigging Is Stupid

[Smalliebigs]

gigging is a time honored tradition in the Ozarks that all residents of Missouri should all partake in

[Trout Commander]

Trout Slayer, & Cutthroat Ale...same folks who make Moose Drool...catchy names but plonk beer..Same can be said about wine. Catchy name from unknown provenance...Run away!

But Cutthroat Porter and Two Hearted Ale with Bitch Creek kicker trumps!

[Gavin]

I'd be glad to drink your beer! Your whiskey too! If I aint buying...I aint complainin...

Looks like Phil forgot to turn on the cussing blocker when he switched the forum over this time. I miss the spell checker too.

For the record, I don't gig or plan to. I don't know anyone that does. But you can not slam a sport just because you are seeing POACHERS using the sport to collect illegal game. Report it to the MDC or do the leg work and prove it with pics of someone gigging the bass yourself.

All this talk of people eating Smallies there must be Good numbers,I might have to take up catching more.On the other hand I only catch a few Channel Catfish towards Barclay on the Niangua so maybe we should outlaw keeping them.

What about Bow Fishing? Lets outlaw Turkey and deer Hunting I've seen Hen Turkeys and Bucks Short on Points killed?

Agree. If your name or label is your main selling point, I ain't buying.

Anyone ever tell you that your logic is pretzel-shaped?

It is close enough to snagging season that we may as well address this senseless and brutal form of sport fishing as well. Look at the countless smallmouth that are malicously earmarked because of someones careless use of snagging equipment. Put 4 clowns in a poontoon boat dragging thousand lb snagging line down the lake and nothing in its path is safe. Smallmouth , turtles, hogmollies and trotlines all suffer at the expense of snagging. Gigging and snagging should forever be banned from the folklore of the ozarks.

The first time I heard that snagging and releasing spoonbill was legal my jaw dropped to the floor.
