Tall fish stories from Wappapello Lake in Missouri
Poplar Bluff Missouri June 24 AP Tall fish yarns swirl from Lake Wappapello where two anglers each claimed five pound mud catfish on fly and another reeled a seven foot ordinary to hook.

Nearby Chaonia anglers filled stringers as quotas neared, then a wry remark on steel capacity contrasted Allied totals with the Axis.
