Missouri Spoonbill opener

@Lostinthewoods - what brand boat is that?

I believe it’s called an Excel Storm cat

Congratulations- hope they eat well. I see them when I fish on the Missouri river, but never have tried to get a tag for one.

You didn’t catch them all @Lostinthewoods ! We did pretty good this morning. They really seemed to be stacked up in a few spots. 13 degrees was a little brisk, but it warmed up a bit.

Do you eat the caviar?

Google says they are famed for the caviar. Lol.

Edit. I've never fished for them. Cool critter.

My boys ate some fresh out of the fish this morning. I actually processed some last year. Regs are very restrictive around the caviar. It’s ok, glad I tried it once. Just sucks cause you can’t transport it, can’t give it away, etc. Most of it gets thrown away.

Way to go!!!!!!!!
Looks like smiles all around.

The feeling of setting the hook on one and it just bending the rod is a lot of fun!
