I've caught some big fish in Missouri in my lifetime, but never anything like this. A world record 164 pound fish was just landed at the Lake of the Ozarks and it's not likely to be topped anytime soon.
I have fished much of my life in Missouri and I'll never forget the first time I came across a large number of fish floating near the shore dead as a door nail. It always made me wonder exactly what in the world would cause so many fish to suddenly go belly up? There is some science at work although there's still an air of uncertainty about it all.
If you hang out in downtown Canton, Missouri this time of year, you have to almost try to NOT see an eagle. Oh, and you might want to keep an eye on fish you catch. One fisherman learned this the hard way as one of these majestic birds made off with an unwatched fish.
There's a reason why certain places in Missouri are nationally-known as some of the best fishing spots you'll ever find. New video shows why. It's a glimpse of what life is like as a trout revealing thousands of them in a Missouri stream.
What would you consider a whopper? I'm guessing by just about anyone's measure this would qualify. A man in Illinois just landed a humongous 109-pound big-head carp and it's real not a fish story.
You won't see a fish like this very often. A Missouri man went fishing and caught himself a whopper. The fish at the end of his hook actually dates back to prehistoric times. Spoiler Alert - he threw it back.
