An Ash Grove man recently shot the latest state-record fish, surpassing his friend who held the previous record.
Alex Phillips was bowfishing at Table Rock Lake when he shot a two-pound, one-ounce redear sunfish April 28.
The previous record, caught by Phillips’ friend Josh Cole, was a one-pound, 12-ounce fish caught nearly two years ago to the day, per Missouri Department of Conservation.
“It’s quite a story,” Phillips said with a laugh.
As a fabricator, Phillips had just finished outfitting Cole s boat for bowfishing. Cole invited him out that night. They shot a lot of fish. Things were slowing down when Josh said he wanted to check that spot where he caught his record sunfish, Phillips recounted to MDC. I just happened to see four of them together one of them looked like a dinner plate.”
Apple has posted the official trailer for the second series of its British comedy series “Trying,” which will be available to stream on Apple TV+ starting May 21.
Here’s how the second season of the series is described:
In the eight-episode second season of “Trying,” Nikki (BAFTA nominee Esther Smith) and Jason (SAG nominee Rafe Spall) are continuing to navigate the adoption process. Having been approved by the adoption panel, they now find that matching with a child is not as straightforward as they had hoped. It seems like children are being snapped up by other couples while somehow they’re being left behind. Helped by their eccentric social worker Penny (Imelda Staunton), they are determined to do everything they can. When Nikki meets a little girl called Princess at an adoption event, she knows instantly that this is the child for them. But there are obstacles to Nikki’s plan that may prove insurmountable.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) congratulates Alex Phillips of Ash Grove for becoming the new state record holder under alternative methods for redear sunfish.

“It’s quite a story,” laughed Phillips. “I’m a fabricator and had just finished outfitting Josh’s boat for bowfishing. He asked if I wanted to go out with him that night, so I did, and we ended up shooting a lot of fish. Things were slowing down when Josh said he wanted to check that spot where he caught his record sunfish. I just happened to see four of them together – one of them looked like a dinner plate!”
