MOPanfisher Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 From Roaring River by Cassville? That would be quite a trip to Branson or Bull Shoals from there.

JohnP Posted July 1, 2018 Author Posted July 1, 2018 Recieved a email from the MDC fisheries biologist that collected the bighead from me and based off the vertebrae analysis (attached pic) they estimate the age of the fish to be 14 to 16 years old. They also thought since Bull Shoals is oligotrophic, that they expect this fish to be slower growing than those from the Mississippi River or more fertile systems. BilletHead 1
MoCarp Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 interesting, perhaps they don't go from fry to huge so fast, longer to be preyed upon by things like blue and flathead catfish JohnP 1 MONKEYS? what monkeys?
