Thanks!

200 isn't likely to happen.  Currently at 137.  They slowed down as the water cooled last Fall, and the last day I caught Grass Carp was October 10, then they seemed to completely disappear.  And I'm usually only fishing once/week.  Its been a stellar year for the Missouri Mahseer. 😁

If you chose to, you can set 200 as a goal next year. I think there is still time this year, but you're the pro.

I caught 18 Grass Carp and 1 small Channel Catfish while flyfishing on Saturday.  Most Grass Carp in one day so far.  Sitting at 155 on the year.  Caught my 2nd biggest ever, and Missouri PB Grass Carp, 36.5".  Weight should be 20 lbs +.

More back yard turkeys:

Awesome grassie Dave! Love those turkey photos as well.

Didn't fish over the weekend, but took Monday off work to fish with a friend from out-of-state who swung by to add to his flyrod species list.  He had Koi already, but didn't have Goldfish.  We caught both.  He's up to 192 species on fly!

Here's ones I caught.  Koi:

Goldfish:

Up to 158 Grassies on the fly rod this year.

Congrats @FishnDave! I still need a koi for my list. Have to find time to get out and try a pond in Baltimore. Doing the salt deal lately to push Livie over 100.

164 Grassies on the year.  Caught at least 6 on Saturday.  Probably done, but who knows.

4 small Channel Catfish:

2 Bluegills and 2 White Bass (and lost a nice largemouth bass):

Caught plenty of Black Bullheads:

And caught 8 Goldfish, including a few really nice ones, I measured one at 11":
