Love snagging in warsaw killed it this year there last couple days of the season..(only complaint I have about that area is a bunch of inconsiderate boaters that don't care if they run over you line or how close they get when u have the right away) last year wasn't the best for us we tried osage river below the dam but did catch the biggest one in my life that trip 78 lbs... can't wait for next spring.. good luck guys nice video and set up!!!

when you cut all the dark meat out and cartilage, skin etc. coat em a bit in corn meal & it frys up white as cotton and tastes like best pure Catfish flavor ever and ya gotta force yourself to stop eating it before ya explode. says all my friends & family that enjoyed fish frys with my catches when I caught em with friends before. all other fish pales in comparison. we filet tail ends in sandwich size pieces then make fingers/sticks of forward portions after cutting horse shoe slices about 1" thick and removing spin hole leaving 2 sticks of each horseshoe slice. after soaking in salt water at least an hour or overnight in frig, use plastic ice-cream style buckets full of clean water to store parts in and snap lids on and freeze till use then set in frig night b4 cooking so ready. same as my buddys done for years with all cleaned Fish. that way it wont freezer burn from contact with air.

I prefer a different method of cleaning them with less wasted meat and easier to see/remove the outer Red 'V' shaped vein of meat etc when you skin the Fish like other Catfish, shave the Red/dark strip done center of each side then take a 'V' slice to remove the deeper part of the dark meat. gut and cut Head almost off then twist the cartilage in half exposing spinal cord pull it out (cut tail off if need be) then we cut hollow cavity front part in to the Horseshoe slices as stated above and filet rear half as stated above. you also can just gut the Fish and remove head and spinal cord while at water to toss them in for bottom feeders etc. place the rest in a water bucket and take home if nearby to finish cleaning if weather is bad for doing it on site. I like using my ol faithful Falcon brand 10.5" Filet Knife purchased at Wal-Mart back when Sam was still living and only sold great items made in USA at low prices.

This is a fish that I want to catch befor I die. I just hope its within the months where you can harvest these fish because I want to mount mine whether its 5 or 50lb

Donnie, Spoonbill feed on microscopic vegetation and you can only catch them by snagging or netting them, which is illegal in Missouri. Check my playlists or my videos on my home page, I have several Spoonbill videos since my nephew is one of the top Spoonbill guides in Missouri. You can also check his web site at catfishingguide.com and see several pictures and videos. Thanks for stopping by and let me know if I can answer any more questions.
