fishing

It began it's existence as the location of a whiskey distillery back in 1850. Eventually, civilization moved away from this lonely Missouri ghost town, but it's now slowly becoming known as one of the best trout fishing spots in the Show Me State.

Well, I'll admit this is the most unique perspective on ice fishing I've ever seen. It's the viewpoint of the pastime from the fish's perspective as shared by a Midwestern guy.

Imagine you're fishing and suddenly you see something that your eyes cannot believe. It's a spider that is so large that it appears as large as your head. That allegedly happened to a Missouri man while fishing and he's not the only one in the Show Me State to claim there are mammoth arachnids hiding in the woods.

My dad used to fish at Bennett Spring State Park in Missouri all the time. He never did it with a dog in his backpack which is something I've just seen accomplished thanks to a brand new video share.

There are fish stories and then there are FISH STORIES. This is that second one. A Missouri woman just caught a rare golden crappie. There's no word if she won a ticket to a chocolate factory or not though.

Wanna get away? I found an option. It's a rustic cabin hidden away in the woods near Camp Point and it includes a lake filled with fish.

You need a job done? Let me and my redneck friends do it. Don't believe me? Watch what my people did recently when they were made aware there were invasive and evil carp in an Illinois river. They got it done big time and they did it for a good cause, too.

If you go fishing in Missouri, beware of flying carp. This is a real warning thanks to an invasive species that is apparently in need of being removed from Missouri's rivers.

There are ouch moments and there are OUCH moments. This is that 2nd one. It's a video that shows a Midwest fisherman getting smacked where the sun don't shine by a massive 40 pound carp.

Do you have any good fish stories? I'd guess that yours (and mine) likely don't rival those of a Midwest guy who caught a massive sturgeon with his bare hands as a new video reveals.
