How does JP do it?
I'll also go over a few things in that post about like:
The setup he uses.
The bait he uses.
What part of the Missouri River he fishes.
... ...
Is he available as a guide? HINT probably...
His setup
He calls it trotlining, but I call it limb lining.
- He only uses 1 hook per line.
- He found he only catches one fish per trotline, so all those extra hooks and bait didn't gain him anything.
- A catfish turns and turns and turns once caught on a line.
- He found he only catches one fish per trotline, so all those extra hooks and bait didn't gain him anything.
- He only sets 1 line per hole.
- He puts lines in 25 or 30 good producing holes...
- 20-50 feet of line + a big swivel + about 6' of line + a big hook
Tied to a stump or tree on the bank or an island.
- 20-50 feet of line + a big swivel + about 6' of line + a big hook
- He puts lines in 25 or 30 good producing holes...
- He uses a big flat bottom aluminum boat with about a 100hp motor to navigate the river.
Bait
- His top producing bait is up to 3# mudcats. I call them yellow bellies (catfish).
- Sometimes he fishes for them, but usually just uses a cast net.
Where
He lives in Rock Port, MO.
He fishes in the Missouri River around the Nishnabotna River
several miles up and down stream.
Would he guide you?
Probably.
- If you're interested, let me know and I can help you get in touch with him.
- What would it be worth to you to get in on some action like this?
Can you eat a fish this big?
You bet!!! Delicious!!!
- JP's secret is to cut the tail and hang them head up to let them bleed out for several hours.
- Some of the best meat is the belly on these big ones!
- There is very little dark meat to cut out.
- Some of the best meat is the belly on these big ones!
Any other questions???
Let me know in the comments. I will try to get an answer...

Wow, I was way over! I will know better next time!
I think that is just something built into being a fisherman! haha
Not intentionally.
It's just something that seems to happen...
Upvoting, but having seen some 110# Missouri catfish in person, that picture sure doesn't do it justice, looks more like a 47#.
Where is the scale validation?
Beep! Beep! This humvee will be patrolling by and assisting new veterans, retirees, and military members here on Steem. @shadow3scalpel will help by upvoting posts from a list of members maintained by @chairborne and responding to any questions replied to this comment.
