fishinwrench Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I hear the "Hand fishing" is picking up on the Osage.
brownieman Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Heard something about that...something to the affect of an anchor being involved?? without sounding morbid...wonder if anybody saw "THE HAND"...sorry guys?..that comment could go many directions. That's pretty weird though...caught an old horseshoe one time and I thought that was strange...guess not huh. My friends say I'm a douche bag ?? Avatar...mister brownie bm <><
mcp633 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I managed to get my hand on the link from the local paper the Jefferson City News Immune, uh I mean Tribune. Sorry! http://www.newstribune.com/articles/2007/0...local01hand.txt I think this is another dude starved for attention! With Bagnall Dam running eleven flood gates wide open for a couple of weeks now, someone would have to put one heck of a cinder block on a body to keep it down in the water there. The Osage has been bank full and fast for two weeks or better. IMO there's no way! If you don't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them
Randall Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 that very well could be legitimate. there was a drowning in the lamine river on the 4th and he still hasn't turned up, water patrol said they expected him to be hung up on debris on the bottom and that he'd probably not be found, or that pieces of him would break off and float downstream as he decomposed. granted the lamine isn't quite the osage, but it could be a similar situation. Cute animals taste better.
mcp633 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I do agree that IF I pulled up a human hand on my anchor line, I'd drop the thing like a hot potato also. You should see how this river is running though. Knowing that area like the "back of my hand" like I do, (they started it!) there's not that much in that stretch to get hung on. I'm down there about every weekend and there's not that much bottom debris to get hung on. Possible? Yes. Probable? I don't think so. They usually drown one or two in that area about every summer and they are usually found within a day or two. There is a lot of recreational boat traffic in this area! If this is part of the body of the missing gal, certainly something else would have appeared by now, or the rest is already washed into the MO on its way to St. Louis. Just two cents worth. If you don't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them
oneshot Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 This is giving reasons not to fish either of these rivers for awhile. oneshot
