Angler Breaks 32-year Hybrid-Bass Record

Jasper County angler breaks 32-year hybrid-bass record
MDC congratulates Cesar Rodriguez on catching a 21-pound, 11-ounce striped hybrid bass at Lake of the Ozarks.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces that Cesar Rodriguez of Carthage is now the state record-holder for hybrid-striped-bass after catching a 21-pound, 11-ounce fish at Lake of the Ozarks May 19. Rodriguez used the pole-and-line method.
Though the fish breaks Missouri’s previous hybrid-striped-bass record of a 20-pound, 8-ounce fish, set in 1986 at the Lake of the Ozarks, Rodriguez wasn’t that surprised when he reeled in the bass.
“It was just a normal day out fishing,” Rodriguez said. “Last year I caught a 24-pound hybrid in Oklahoma, but I couldn’t find a game warden to confirm it. So, this catch didn’t come as a surprise that it was a record-breaker.”
The fish’s weight was verified on a certified scale at MDC’s Roaring River Hatchery in Cassville. The hybrid-striped-bass is the sixth state-record fish caught this year.
Rodriguez mounted his prize fish, and said he is planning to catch another that will top his even-larger Oklahoma catch.
Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.

Stoner Selected to 2019 All-Scholastic Team
June 12th 2019 by Dee Loflin
Austin Stoner, upcoming Sophomore, at Poplar Bluff High School, was recently selected to be a member of the 2019 All-Scholastic Team, by the Scholastic Sports Foundation (SSSF).
Over 230 student athletes from 24 states, have been named to the team this year and will be recognized at the opening ceremonies of the SSSF/SCTP/SASP Team Championship event on July 17th in Marengo, Ohio.
The All-Scholastic Team recognizes the top student athletes in the SSSF’s Scholastic Clay Target and Scholastic Action Shooting Program for their achievements in the classroom, on the range and in their communities. Through an application process, the team members had to submit a copy of the their school transcript and post a 3.0 or better GPA, certified shooting scores with a 190 or better out of 200 clays, letters of recommendation, demonstrating outstanding community involvement and write a brief essay to explain how the sport has improved and effected their lives.
Austin states: It has taught me self-discipline, as well as team building skills. How to work together as a team and build each other up and encourage one another to do and be better. As an individual, I have learned self-control and that even if you miss a clay, there is another one coming. You have to always be prepared. I’ve learned that my actions on and off the field are being watched by other individuals and I want to be the person that my fellow team mates look to for advice and encouragement.
Stoner was also awarded to the AIM (Academics, Integrity and Marksmanship) All-State team for 2019.
