fishing

You don't hear much about this Missouri place and perhaps that's a good thing. It's an unassuming part of the Show Me State where two Missouri rivers quietly meet and it's special for a number of reasons.

Missouri is known for its vast variety of state parks and now there's a new one. The truth is it's really kind of heavenly and I can prove it with science (and some videos and pics).

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.
