Not challenging the status quo or addressing issues that can directly affect any wildlife species isn't going to help. Just sit down, shut up, and hope one day your children will have books to show them what Missouri streams used to be like. Hog Wally 1

I think squeaky wheels get the grease, meat fishing is going out of style....many state fisheries mandate is to provide user groups with what they want..the groups that fish for the pan are getting smaller...the groups that C & R are getting bigger, fish like Muskies, small mouths, and trout come to mind,....personally if someone I was with, wanted or munch a 3lb smallie, I'll yatch slap they so hard they might pee out their nipples for a week....if you need food that bad..go to wally world and get a $1 pack of hot dogs..if you want diner on a float/camping trip..keep a rock bass or 3,..let those brown bass go, takes too long to grow one to use they only once jfrith, MOstreamer, thewhitesnoop and 1 other 4 MONKEYS? what monkeys?

I am pretty sure that missouri streams have NEVER been free of giggers. Even before Europeans colonized them, the native americans gigged before they angled. Republicans are a WAY bigger threat to Missouri streams than giggers. Hog Wally 1
top_dollar Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Its also a bit concerning that folks advocate violence at the thought of keeping a bass to eat lol. Seth 1
thewhitesnoop Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I doubt Native Americans gigged very many bass

Republicans are a WAY bigger threat to Missouri streams than giggers. Native Americans didn't have jet boats with 2 million candle power LED spotlights. Its hard to convince folks that illegal gigging is a huge problem who have never seen the carnage themselves. The country folk talk amongst themselves and know who's doing it. There's absolutely no denying it. MoCarp, Smalliebigs and Pat Magee 3 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Seth Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I'm curious as to why only Republicans are the threat to our streams. Most anglers and conservation minded people are more than likely Republicans. Mitch f and Hog Wally 2

I have succumb to the fact that this is as good as it gets as far as river fishing for bass is concerned to the MDC. It doesn't bother me anymore, it used to but, not anymore......it is what it is.
