More Evidence for Goldfish Baits
Ever hear of “alternate methods” fish records? Me neither, until now: Missouri’s 20-year-old Dylan Gilmore just set the new “alternate methods” largie record with a 9-02 caught on a…trotline. Yep. A largie was fooled by a dang catfish rig – wait: we now know what the Missouri Rig will be! – which you would’ve known [...]

Here’s a good story. Involves a bass fisherman, Bull Shoals Lake (MO), official fish record-keepers the International Game Fish Association, the Missouri DNR, $100,000 and $1 million. Excerpts from here and here: > Rodney Ply of Diamond City has lived on and fished Bull Shoals Lake his entire life. His once-in-a lifetime catch came earlier [...]
What If VanDam, Clunn Laughed At You…
…Just Before Takeoff?! What what that do for your confidence? Well, it happened to a guy named Tim Sainato, a Missoura stick and I believe Table Rock guide at least at one point (can someone check me on that). The whole, amazing story (took place in 2000 maybe?) is too long for here, but bear [...]
What? How Stripers Got In Bull Shoals
News just out of a new Missoura state record striper caught out of Bull Shoals. Check the pic – looks like a limit of NJ smallies in that belly. Or maybe a trolling motor bat’ry. Ever wonder about the sometimes questionable logic used for stocking stripers or wipers in fisheries? Then you’ll enjoy this. An [...]

Goggle Eye Capitol of the World? And…
…What Could Your Town Lay Claim To? No idea how we stumbled on this T-shirt. Says, “Hootentown, Goggle Eye Capitol of the World.” Don’t know if that’s like being the radish capitol of the world or what, but…. Hootentown is in the MO Ozarks, and the goggle eye bass is the same fish as a [...]
Attn Table Rockers: Win Some Swag?
The folks at Field & Stream are doing some kind of bassin’ info contest involving Table Rock. Sounds like they’re doing some fishing…for info.

72-Year-Old Man Caught Bassin’ Cheatin’
I assume people out Missoura way heard about this one. Somehow we didn’t…hear about the 72-year-old man who allegedly cheated in a bassin’ derby last month. For the juicy deets, will excerpt the MO DNR info: A Warsaw [MO] man faces a felony charge of attempt to steal by deceit for allegedly trying to weigh [...]
River Smallie Bounties in Missoura
Seems like everyone’s tagging a million-dollar fish these days, to get fishermen to do what they’d do anyway…. In our world it’s all about largies, far as I’m aware. So was interested to read that the Missouri DNR has tagged smallies in several rivers, and catching one can win you some bucks. Any other DNRs [...]
“Live” Day on the Lake
Fellow bass fishing nerds, there is some pretty cool stuff going on as I type. I assume many of you are like me, stuck at a desk somewhere and unable to be on the lake where your heart is. Now you can get your fishing fix by vicariously living with Denny Brauer as he is [...]
