FishnDave Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Wanted to catch a bigger Longnose Gar. My previous largest was 37"... not particularly big as far as they go. Missouri Master Angler size is 42". I tied up a special fly for it (with a pair of articulated single hooks, no trebles, no rope fly... nothing against any of that, just describing it). It worked! Caught a new Personal Best... 47.5", 10+lbs (based on an online calculator for Longnose Gar)!! Only its head fit in the net...it was longer than my "mid-length" net...including the handle. Also caught a bluegill, 2 freshwater drum, black crappies, and white crappies (biggest was this 13-incher): BilletHead, netboy, nomolites and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishnDave Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Saturday I'd hoped to connect with @Johnsfolly to try for Grass Carp and gar. He had a small window of opportunity before catching a flight home. Weather wasn't conducive...drizzle, wind, cold....so we scrapped the idea. I made a last-of-the-year Bowfin outing. Caught 10! Plus one of the biggest Warmouth I've so far caught from this spot...and a bluegill, a couple bass, a shortnose gar, and a few green sunfish. nomolites and Ham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
