What is the largest fish you have caught in MO?

[grizzly]

Not species specific, just overall largest fish you have caught in Missouri.  Mine is the humble common carp.  Caught while fishing Longview Lake when I was 17.  This was before I had a smart phone, so no pics that I can show.  

Edit: 30.1 lbs is what we weighed it at.  

 

What is your largest fish?

A 44 inch grass carp on a fly rod.  Weighed a lot more than the 44 inch long nose gar I caught on ultralight spinning tackle.

Great catch Al.  I know how difficult targeting Carp on the fly can be and most people dismiss them as trash fish because of the lack of food fare they provide.  Nice fish!

8 pound bass on light spinning tackle using a rebel jerk bait. It was on a small lake my dad lived on. One of the neighbors saw me land it and was real happy when I returned it to the waters.

Count me in the flathead pile. Flipping bushes with a jig at Truman in 1999 or so. Will see if I can find the pre-digital pic and scan it.

Twelve pound freshwater drum from below power station at tunnel dam. Believe that's the niangua river. Had a much larger one on but it broke my four pound line.
