The Missouri River is the longest river in North America. Rising in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana, the Missouri flows east and south for 2,341 miles (3,767 km) before entering the Mississippi River north of St. Louis, Missouri. The river takes drainage from a sparsely populated, semi-arid watershed of more than half a million square miles (1,300,000 km2), which includes parts of ten U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. When combined with the lower Mississippi River, it forms the world's fourth longest river system.
For over 12,000 years, people have depended on the Missouri River and its tributaries as a source of sustenance and transportation. More than ten major groups of Native Americans populated the watershed, most leading a nomadic lifestyle and dependent on enormous buffalo herds that once roamed through the Great Plains. The first Europeans encountered the river in the late seventeenth century, and the region passed through Spanish and French hands before finally becoming part of the United States through the Louisiana Purchase. The Missouri was long believed to be part of the Northwest Passage – a water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific – but when Lewis and Clark became the first to travel the river's entire length, they confirmed the mythical pathway to be no more than a legend.
Missouri (see pronunciations) is a state located in the Midwestern United States. It is the 21st most extensive, and the 18th most populous of the fifty states. The state comprises 114 counties and the independent city of St. Louis.
As defined by the 2010 US census, the four largest urban areas in order of population are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia. The mean center of the United States population at the 2010 census was in the town of Plato in Texas County. The state's capital is Jefferson City. The land that is now Missouri was acquired from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase and became known as the Missouri Territory. Part of this territory was admitted into the union as the 24th state on August 10, 1821.
Missouri's geography is highly varied. The northern part of the state lies in dissected till plains and the southern portion lies in the Ozark Mountains (a dissected plateau), with the Missouri River dividing the regions. The state lies at the intersection of the three greatest rivers of the United States, with the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers near St. Louis, and the confluence of the Ohio River with the Mississippi north of the Bootheel. The starting points for the Pony Express, Santa Fe Trail, and Oregon Trail were all located in Missouri as well.
LINK TO DAN'S ORIGINAL VIDEO "Big fish in Missouri River" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8DCd-o6Ff4 The big story this week is a video that alleges to show a huge river monster in the Missouri River! But is this video fact? Or is it faked. We’ll find out. It's called Big Fish in Missouri River. The video was first sent in by Patrick Boddie and Darryl Vaughan3. It shows a large mysterious wake in the river - indicating something huge is swimming just beneath the surface. But is this really a big river monster on the prowl? Or are we just looking at another big fat river fake. Let’s jump in and see what we can find out. Taking a closer look at the video, we see that is was first published in November 2014. The uploader, Toni braungardt didn’t say much about it in the descript...

Follow the Missouri River as it winds through history
On July 10, 2010, I put my canoe in the Missouri River at the headwaters near Three Forks, MT, with the intention of paddling solo to St. Louis, MO. 15 dams, 2300+ miles and 59 days later I arrived in front of the Gateway Arch. These are just some snippets sloppily slapped together to share the river's many moods. I didn't have a functional memory card for video from Fort Peck Dam in Montana to Bismarck, ND, thus, the long stretch of photos. I had a small radio (iriver) and South Dakota Public Broadcasting to thank for the jazz references. The journey was a dream come true despite days of oppressive heat, humidity, headwinds and a few dawns and dusks of mosquito hordes. I would do it again in a heartbeat, though. Keep in mind while watching, I am not a professional documentarian/edit...

Missouri River within the city of Kansas City Missouri. Catching Hybird Striped Bass (Wiper). These fish are a hybird fish spawned in a hatchery only. They are sterile and do not reproduce in the wild. Funny thing is - they have never been stocked in the river. These fish flush through the dams on Kansas Lakes and end up in the river. 4/12/14
The Missouri River, near Craig Montana, is one of the best tail water fisheries anywhere. Good hatches and large trout make for some amazing dry fly fishing.
Went out fishing on the Missouri River in mid July and caught two nice Flathead catfish in a matter of minutes using live bluegill for bait. Used 10/0 circle hooks as well. First fish was about 35lbs, second fish was about 15lbs. Not bad for fishing for only a hour! Thanks for Watching and Good Luck Fishing!

Filmed 9/08/12 Well, here it is in all it's glory. A trip on Amtrak's Missouri River Runner from Kansas City to St. Louis and back again in one day. Had all sort of problems getting this together, but I got it done. The tickets were fairly cheap too, only $60 or so for a full days worth of entertainment, plus hanging out at the awesome St.Louis Union Station for a few hours. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe there and got to see parts of the state we don't normally get to see. My biggest complaint is that I missed the first of the two tunnels outside Kirkwood. Anyway, enjoy! ---------------------------- Train club account: http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free...
Float with us as we journey through the white cliffs area of the Upper Missouri River National Monument in wild and scenic central Montana. This 47 river-mile area is publicly accessed by water only and is the most popular canoe trip of the Missouri River. We started at Coal Banks Landing mid-Tuesday afternoon, the second week of June, 2014. Our first camp was at Little Sandy. Wednesday we traveled to Eagle Creek, Thursday we floated to Hole-in-the-Wall, Friday we traveled to Slaughter Creek, and then Saturday noon we took out at Judith Landing. This was a float trip that memories are made of. We were early in the tourist season and saw a total of three other parties on the river, two of them were guided. The weather was typical for June in Montana and the bugs were non-existent. ...
