Super User roadwarrior Posted October 4, 2010 Super User Posted October 4, 2010 ghoti, his brother Mike, Long Mike and I met for a great weekend in central Missouri. Trophy Country is a sportsman's paradise: http://www.trophycountry.com/Fishing.html ghoti and I fished Friday afternoon for about five hours and fifty bass! Saturday started off with a great breakfast followed by a two hour topwater bite. The rest of the day included shallow cranks, soft plastics and jigs. ghoti said the fishing was slow, but I guess previous trips have spoiled him. We had "Fish On!" all day including three doubles! The fishing, the company and the meals were fantastic! ghoti was our chef with inspired dishes for two dinners and breakfast Saturday. Check out Trophy Country for yourself, I know you will like it! 8-) Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted October 4, 2010 Super User Posted October 4, 2010 Awesome! Sounds like ya'll had a blast! Where are all the pictures? You mean to tell me you weren't the camera man? Jeff Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 4, 2010 Super User Posted October 4, 2010 We did have a blast. And, I did not take a single picture. Didn't see anybody else with camera in hand either. my mistake. I intended to at least get a group shot, but just didn't get around to it. Next time, I guess. We didn't catch any really camera worthy fish. Lots of fish, but no big ones. I got the biggest of the trip on the first cast of the last day. Kent and long Mike left Sunday morning, while my brother and I fished until 1:00. The first cast, with a 5/16oz Evo jig, black/black skirt, with blue Rage Craw trailer, got me a fat 3 pounder. By the way Kent, I took the jig rod home with me without paying you for it. I know I have your home address, but can't seem to find it. PM it to me and I'll get a check in the mail ASAP. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted October 4, 2010 Super User Posted October 4, 2010 Kent sold a rod? Now he only has 26 setups! LOL Sounds like fun still! Nothing better than good company on the water! Jeff Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 5, 2010 Author Super User Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah...Sold a rod I never actually fished! Gotta have a NRX for the niche, just saving my pennies. Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 5, 2010 Super User Posted October 5, 2010 I must have an issue with my computer, no pics are showing... :-? Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 5, 2010 Super User Posted October 5, 2010 Kent sold a rod? Now he only has 26 setups! LOL Sounds like fun still! Nothing better than good company on the water! Jeff 26? I only saw 15 or 16, on this trip. ;D I got to try out his super-tuned Calcutta 100, bought from a forum member. What a great casting reel. Kent has it on a jig rod, and the first cast I made I had to jam my thumb on the spool to keep from tossing the jig 20 yards up into the woods. If I had that reel it would be mounted on my custom deep crank stick. 'twould be awesome. On a different note, the Sheriff of the Shimano Posse was once again heard making very nice comments about a Daiwa reel. Sheesh, a couple more trips with me, and I'll make a Daiwa man out of him. ;D ;D ;D Quote
Uncle Leo Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Sounds like a great trip guys. i hope you bent the elbows some. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted October 5, 2010 Super User Posted October 5, 2010 Sounds like a great trip guys. i hope you bent the elbows some. Bent elbows? Me? Kent? Long Mike? Are you kidding? My brother and I had a little breakdown in communication. He was supposed to bring the wine for both dinners. He didn't bring any at all. We had to make do with beer. Long Mike of course had his infamous box-o-wine. I mixed up a few Old-fashioned's Saturday night. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted October 5, 2010 Super User Posted October 5, 2010 I heard Kent made a stop by the store on his way up for the trip! And you know you will NEVER turn the Shimano Sheriff!! Quote
Big-O Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 That's what fishing is all about in my book, Good friends having Good times on the water Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Fantastic! It sounds like you guys ate well had lots of fun and caught some fish too. That is what it is all about, congrats! Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted October 6, 2010 Super User Posted October 6, 2010 Based on previous experience at Trophy Country the fishing was slow. I caught maybe, twenty on Saturday. The slow fishing was offset by the camaraderie and the great food. Kent, I was able to remove the "Backlash From Hell." It took me an hour and fifteen minutes. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 7, 2010 Author Super User Posted October 7, 2010 Well, , you are a master! I would have gone straight to the knife and clippers. 8-) Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 7, 2010 Super User Posted October 7, 2010 Long Mike of course had his infamous box-o-wine. Old habits are hard to break Glad you guys had a great time Quote
oteymc Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Gosh, I wish I would have been able to get down there to meet you guys. Maybe next time! Quote
