I have no pic, but I thought i would add this in, fished the Mississippi yesterday (are rivers allowed on pondboss?) and pulled a 2lb sauger on a texas rigged purple swimtail (aka big plastic grub).

Where i fish on the Miss is the mouth of "piasa creek," it's a big muddy mess. I've seen some people pull out big flatheads there, but this is the first sauger i saw over a pound. Put up a hell of a fight on light tackle.

Usually I just pull in white crappie. this one was a welcome change.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
