Greasy B Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Twice a day for the last 6 years I have been looking at the Big Muddy (Missouri River big muddy) as I cross it. I believe the canoes and kayaks out number the barge tows. If your experienced, competent and respectful paddle craft work fine. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Kayser Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Big Muddy River is a river dammed up in Illinois to create Rend Lake, that flows into the Mississippi WAY below St. Louis. The MO River is big, and definitely muddy, as is the MS River below the MO/MS confluence. Did anyone else get lost when people started using nicknames instead of the proper ones? WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Justin92297 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Hey what did you use to catch the bowfin? Also I fished at Columbia bottom off of a dam and caught sturgeon, drum, small catfish, and Asian carp.

He's not fishing the Mississippi...he's fishing in the Big Muddy River, which is the river that forms Rend Lake in Illinois... -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 HA, HA, HA!! Yea, I guess I was Corn'-Fused. I thought Greasy was referencing a member Will the real Big Muddy please stand up? Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)
Wayne SW/MO Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I believe the Missouri has been called the Big Muddy for more years than anyone on here can remember. To most people in Missouri that would be the river in question. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
moguy1973 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Wow, we are all confused here... -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Greasy B Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Wow, we are all confused here... Yeah, what fun. Just goes to show that communication is not so simple after all. I think all the Big Muddy's are worthy destinations. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart.

Justin92297 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Haha ohh my bad! To me the big muddy has always been the Missouri river. Thanks for the info
