This week, in Tallapoosa, Missouri, a young woman, and her grandmother are viciously slaughtered, tied up, and seemingly posed. Suspicions immediately land on the young woman's mother's boyfriend, and during a search of his home, they find a duffel bag full of pre cut ropes, odd homemade porn, and a LOT of dildos. Even though there's a confession & DNA, this guy won't go down without a very large fight!!Along the way, we find out that you can't have a Mardi Gras celebration without certain elements, that you don't need dozens of pre cut ropes to do roofing, and that homemade porn may be the weirdest thing to play in court!!Hosted by James Pietragallo and Jimmie WhismanNew episodes every Thursday!Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com and use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.comGo to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports!Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurderAlso, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!

First up bringing you the report for the Coosa and Tallapoosa River system with have Eric Cagle. Eric is happy to report that the crappie have moved off structure and are in their big winter schools, making it easy to catch lots of good-sized slabs for anglers who are comfortable casting in open water. Join us as we talk about Eric's preferences for both casting and jigging rods, the differences between the Coosa and Tallapoosa Lakes, and kayaking the Tallapoosa system up above Jaybird Creek. Next up we have Dip McMillian on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Dip reports that anglers can expect a similar winter pattern to what Eric describes, but cautions that this year's uncommonly low water can leave heedless anglers stranded in the backwaters. Dip is also a local legend down on the Gulf Coast for his “Dippie Outdoors” nonprofit, which focuses on getting kids introduced to hunting and fishing. Tune in to hear Dip's recommendations on the best rods and reels for young kids, and his thoughts on how to keep kids engaged out on the water.

Finally, we talk with Cahaba Riverkeeper David Butler. While we talk a good bit on this show about the Chattahoochee, Tennessee, and Coosa Rivers, but the Cahaba is very much a “forgotten gem” of a river that every fisherman should get out on at least once to experience some truly wild fishing.

Mitch Reid is a native son of the Alabama Wiregrass, where he grew up fishing and hunting his home country in the headwaters of the Choctawhatchee River. After a military career with the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne, he came home to raise his family and continue to serve his nation by working with The Nature Conservancy to protect and restore the lands and waters of the place he loves the most in the world. Alabama is No. 1 in aquatic species diversity, with more than 4,000 known species. It is also No. 2 in the nation for species extinction. The time for action is right now. Huge projects are underway in Alabama, from restoration of coastal estuaries and marshes to protecting some of the most diverse hardwood forests and most biologically rich and intact rivers left on Earth. One of the most important watershed restorations in the U.S. is underway right here – reconnecting the mighty Alabama River and its thousands of miles of tributaries to the Gulf of Mexico – Gulf walleye, sturgeon, vast runs of mullet and other catadromous fish … they were all here, all the way up the Cahaba, the Coosa, the Tallapoosa. And they can be again.     

This week we get caught up on the news and then talk about the next four places in the song.

“ Whenever I find myself growing grim...I quietly take to the ship. Almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.”— Herman Melville “A Free Boat And A Magical Experience” explores what riding a bike, a drift boat, and a flats skiff all have in common. From Monroeville, Ala. to two iron man triathlons, Brad has spent many miles on this magical machine called the bicycle, and from the Tallapoosa with Craig Godwin of East Alabama Fly Fishing to the Flathead in Montana, he's experienced the enchanting feeling of fishing from a drift boat. But on one magical night in December and from the kindness of a group of Christian men, he received the thrill of owning his own skiff boat. A magical experience indeed. Brad reflects on each of these experiences and how they connect him to place. However, the ultimate goal for Brad was to do his best to communicate the incredible experience and feelings of being given the most unforeseen gift he could have imagined and the gratitude he feels for those who went in together to give this unreal gift. We hope you enjoy this essay from Brad. In this episode you hear about East Alabama Fly Fishing visit their website today and book a trip with these guys.

The Alabama Freshwater Fishing report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.This week, we've got Eric Cagle reporting on the fishing up on the “Big Four” crappie lakes in Mississippi. Eric has been taking a break from his home waters on the Coosa and Tallapoosa, and is capitalizing on the spring bite on Grenada Lake. Join us this week as we talk about BIG (3 lb) crappie, the difference between black and white crappie, the best lures colors for muddy water, and more.Next up we have Stephen Rockarts over on the Cahaba River system outside of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. Stephen has been getting on some huge Alabama Bass lately, and is excited to see bass actively feeding in the shallower waters where they're easily accessible to anglers. This week, Stephen reveals his favorite bass fly patterns, gives his take on what conditions trigger the bass spawn, and muses on the difficulties posed by targeting redhorse and buffalo fish on fly tackle.Rounding out the week we have Jack West with the Alabama Rivers Alliance. A northeast Alabama resident, Jack is a passionate angler and outdoorsman, as well as a staunch advocate of our waterways. This week, Jack is here to give us a birds eye view of the many issues our waters face, and weigh in on how those issues directly and indirectly affect anglers. Stay tuned to hear us discuss common pollutants, the impact of dams on fish migrations, and the importance of a state water management plan to safeguard against over-utilization of Alabama's precious water.It's all brought to you, whether it's good, bad, or ugly.
