Hogging Catfish

I never knew anyone that noodles in Missouri. My dad worked for the Foreat Service and I grew up on the rivers catching catfish but always trollies, jugs, or a rod/reel. My dad lives on the Lake of the Ozarks and when I go there and the Osage River, I've never seen anyone noodling.

I believe that here in Oklahoma, it's probably the most common place to do it, but it's still very few and far between.

Missouri does a pretty good job of managing the resources. I have hogged for them in La. My problem is folks especially where I grew up in Louisiana would remove a boat load of big spawning females. Im glad it’s outlawed in Missouri .
