Back to my "Trading Card" idea from several years ago....  I'll trade you the walleye card for your Flathead card!

           Next thing you know there will be a board game. To the one that creates it remember where it came from. I call dibs on my stock or royalty.

    You have the cards covered and I have the board game covered. When they merge, we will split the profits.

Lightly rained a good part of Saturday in StL.  Between that and the cooler temps, I hoped the fish would be active and hungry the next day.  Maybe if I was any good at flyfishing, I'd have caught more. 😁  I only caught 12 fish...but 8 species. 

Here's some:

Freshwater Drum:

29" Shortnose Gar:

Common Carp:

Largemouth Bass:

A smaller Shortnose Gar:

Yellow Bullhead:

A spot-free Channel Catfish:

A Warmouth:

And some Bowfin:

Saw other stuff while fishing...eagles, hummingbirds, goldfinches, white herons, great blue herons, frogs, turtles, snakes, butterflies, flowers...a B-29 that flew over twice.

I just got an iPhone 14 (Pro?) with the 3 cameras on the back... had a tough time getting it to focus on some of the close-up stuff.

I feel like @snagged in outlet 3 misses the days when he got to fish for something besides trout. So, for his benefit, I went out and captured some of his absolute favorites:

Grass Carp:

Common Carp:

Bigmouth Buffalo:

Bowfin:
