Long Time A Coming!

[Duckman]

Well it took around 5 seasons to break my record of 76lbs, but I did it last Sunday. Launched out of The Old Oar House and went up stream towards Truman Dam and here is what I found lying in wait. Tipped the scales at 85 lbs. My best yet but by no means am I going to be happy until I hit that Century Mark!! See ya all at Schell Osage this weekend if you are heading that way. Look for a white and blue bumper pull camper hooked behind a Chevy z-71 and that will be us. We're taking the fryer down for this final-final weekend and going to have us a "BILL" fry right on the river bank. So stop in and have a chunk or two if you get in the area.

Man, that's a big, fat fish!!

Wow! Either that's a very big fish . . . or . . . you're a very small man! Nice catch!

What a fish! I have never had the opportunity to go snagging, obviously that is something I need to try and correct! What a fish!

That's a good un. The biggest one I caught this year was only maybe 55 pounds. I never did find any toads. I bet you would of won some good money if you had entered that Snagmasters tourney. By the way, did you hear any results on the Snagmasters tourney?

[Duckman]

Not yet, but I'm sure I'll hear something in the weeks to come. They've got a big tourney out of Oar House this coming weekend. I think last year 1st place took over 4 grand home! I do know that the largest spoony weighed in at the Oar House this year was supposedly 84 lbs. I figured someone would of had a larger one weighed in so I didn't weight mine there. I waited till we got home and put it on our digital deer scale and it read 85 lbs. I sometimes wonder about that scale at the Oar House, it is getting old and gets played with by kids hanging on it all the time! But that is what they use and go by.

Here's a couple more pics of last weeks outting. Hopefully have some more and better ones for you this coming weekend!

Those are some nice 'bills. Whens the fish fry?

[Seth]

I wish I didn't have to goto stupid Prom this Saturday or else I would head up there to Truman and hit it with you fellers. I'm debating whether to go snagging Sunday or not since it will be the last weekend day. I guess alot depends if I get a turkey Saturday.
