What a horrible weekend of fishing. From what I gathered, if you weren't spider rigging, you weren't catching anything. I did manage 2 keepers on Thursday plus a couple of smaller bass. My wife was completely shutout for the trip. It was horribly windy on Saturday and I HATE fishing in the wind, so we packed up and came home early.

Just got back from Lake of the Ozarks, my first ever time down there
Stayed overnight at a house right on the lake 10 or less minutes from the dam, man I am in love... it’s a genuine Redneck Riviera, can’t imagine how banging all the bars along the strip are when the weathers nice It was pretty cool and overcast yesterday, but it didn’t stop me from setting a personal best on catfish... pulled a huuuuuuge blue out of it right off the dock, no one had a scale but it had to be 30 pounds Caught it on a back hooked bluegill with a heavier duty Zebco combo Tried working bass at first with no success at all, so switched up to catfish and between the 3 of us brought in 4 keeper size blues, and 2 keeper channels... a great time was had even in less than ideal weather Threw them back because all the blues were pregnant females, but man we could’ve had a helluva fry up if we’d wanted to LOVE it down there, BEAUTIFUL country |

My biggest takeaway from the trip, is how JEALOUS I am of all you guys in that neck of the woods, or even just Missouri in general
It’s SO much prettier country there, with MUCH better fishing opportunities everywhere... been through that state quite a bit, but reeeally noticed it yesterday and on the drive back today Illinois is boring as **** by comparison |

Man, that's awesome. Catching big Blues is just a whole lot of fun especially on a rod and reel. At lake Texoma there was an older lady fishing in a jon boat and she hooked a big catfish . It literally drug her two miles up the lake before she could land it. They got it to a cove and they had called the game and fish guys and they got it to shore and had to shoot it. 100 pounds plus! |

Been fishing Lake Meredith the last two days and it has become a really great Walleye lake. Three Walleye yesterday and three more today. Some of the best eating fish there is.

Yep, huge lakes breed huge fish... it’s pretty amazing, I’d never fished a body of water that big before and was not disappointed |

Haven't been able to go at all this year and not sure when I will. Fishing partner has gone several times and every time I couldn't get away. |

I wish. Due to too many things beyond my control, I don't have time. It's been many years since I haven't had the time but I'll squeeze out a few days sometime this summer.
