Nighthawk Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 took two trips to Taney yesterday. 1st was in the morning when a buddy and I threw sculpin flies. I only caught 2 but was having lots of strikes when my buddy wanted to go home. I was not ready but I acquiesced. we always stop for coffee at Habby's in Branson West. best coffee around and very friendly gals. 2nd trip was last night when another pal and I got on the water about 10:30. I ended up with 14 all rainbows, but hooked the biggest fish of my life and I've caught a 15 lb carp and 10 lb salmon in Alaska. this fish took my fly and I thought I was hung up and actually started to wade out to free my fly. then the beast took off for the dam and I never turned him. the line screamed off the reel and I was afraid of getting spooled so I clamped down on the line and broke the tippet. I have no idea how big it was or what it was; big brown, gar, snagged paddle fish. shook me up for the rest of the night:)
fshndoug Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 must have been the Taney night monster that Laker67 has run into in the past
perchjerker Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Let's not discount the fact the possibility of a Giant Taney SQUID coming over the dam spillway.
