91) Musky

I never, ever thought I would get a Musky on fly. Not only did I get one. I got four and one was a Monster. a 45 inch absolute Monster. I saw the eat and it was a crazy fight afterwards. 

Awesome! That should get you ready for that big gator gar I know you're going to catch.

Son!!!  You're something else Ham.

94) Shadow Bass

 I took a bit, but I got the bite I was looking for today.

The magic number is 6 😁😉

So, I’m at this weird spot. I caught a Western Redfin Shiner as well as an Eastern Redfin Shiner 

Eastern Redfin was first near Imboden.

Western Redfin was from close to Greenbrier. 
 
Western Redfin pushes the number to 95, but came prior to the final 20 needed

96) Threadfin Shad 

i caught this one a while back and the photo has hidden from me for a bit. I consulted @FishnDave. He confirmed the Threadfin ID so I’ll add it after the fact. It was caught 8/20/24

I was sweating catching one of these. I should not have worried. I caught a pile of them.

That's a lunker sculpin! I've never seen one that big.

(unless you have really tiny hands...) 🙂

The Ozarks seem to run bigger than most Knobfin. I’ve caught some large Banded ones too.
