    well we went we snagged got snagged got cold got wet and got 4 keepers!! probably the worst snaggin trip ever! even though we caught fish it was just miserable out there, but i guess we had fun. how can you not have fun with a boat under you and a fishing pole in your hand. any way we caught one 48 3/4 inch, 38 inch, 39 inch and a 47 inch. all four females loaded with eggs. caught all fo them up river from roscoe not quite to tabberville, just about the old rail road piers. we had two boats and 9 snaggers. each boat had two fish on them. my day was really bad. I did catch one it was about 10 inches long!! thought i would get the smallest fish award but another was caught probably 8 inches if that! it was really neat to see a spoonbill that small, you could almost see through it. hey jimmie i seen something for the first time this weekend, a bald eagle and a eagle nest. I know they are making a come back but that was a first for me that far south in missouri. when we get the pictures back i will try and post.
