KANSAS CITY, Mo -- Rising air currents held a peregrine falcon aloft above this city’s skyscrapers. To onlookers atop the 30-story Commerce Tower at 911 Main St. the bird was a distant, dark shape floating effortlessly in mid-air. But then, the raptor cupped its wings into an aerodynamic "V" and dived in a 200-mph “stoop” toward the onlookers. In an eye blink the falcon went from distant to near and then veered overhead back into blue sky.

PERRY, Mo – A little luck nabbed a record size largemouth bass for 20-year-old Dylan Gilmore of Perry. Gilmore and his friend, Austin Lake, had set their trotline on April 27 using goldfish as bait, hoping to catch some catfish at Ka-Tonka Lake, located in Ka-Tonka Game Preserve and Sporting Clays Club in Ralls County. When they returned the next day to check their line, Gilmore realized they had caught something. When pulling the line to their boat, what he assumed was a catfish instead turned into something a little more.

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo — Rachel Davis, 35, of Climax Springs was enjoying an evening of fishing on the shores of Lake of the Ozarks April 14 with her husband, David, and a friend when her newly purchased Zebco 202 fishing pole snagged something.

“When I caught it, I thought I had a 20-pound fish. I yelled to my husband to fetch a net to help haul it out,” Davis recalled. “It felt like it was bigger than it was and even jumped out of the water a couple times.”
