Thread: What are your Best numbers for a day?

3 or 4 crappie a minute?!!! it takes me 2 minutes to get the hook out when i am lucky enough to catch one of my few and far betweens. say 3 a minute, that's flip, reel in fish and release fish every 20 seconds...that's unbelievable.

I havent fished for numbers in several years. I had lots of 100-150 fish days when that was the aim. Nowadays I am after the bigguns, and am happy if I catch 10-15 thumpers.

I had a lot of 100+ days. But never 100 IN A hour.... but last summer a friend and I kept 60 in 3 1/2 hours. I thought that was pretty good.

Best day for me was year before last about this time of year & I kept a 30 fish limit in 2.5 hours. Not counting throwbacks. Not sure how many total was caught but I was putting the boat on the trailer 2-1/2 hours after I launched it. I rarely limit out so this was a exceptional day for me.

Best day I can remember in while, we (2 people) caught 60 in one hour longline trolling. We quit after this hour and all fish were released. Not sure how many we could have caught that day. These were all 11"+ fish. Think I would get burnt out catching 800 a day... I like size over quantity most of the time now.

I don't have a clue, never kept track.

So the size of the crappie is not as big as the rest of the USA. The size limit on this lake I fish is 10 fish over 9 inches. I few years back when I was guiding I could get a few hundred crappie all about 1lb 8oz. The day I got 800 in one day I only landed 45 that were keeper size. You guys have bigger crappie than we do out west. Last fall I landed 3,000 crappie, last year I landed 4000 in the fall. I think we could have the best fishery in the USA for numbers and I am trying to see if that is true or not.
THANK to every one posting!!!!

Would you like me to post the video of 5 cappie in 1 min. 15 sec.? It was earlier in the fall before the bigger crappie moved in so the crappie that day were on the small side only landed 25 keepers in 6 hours? The biggest crappie I got from this lake was 3lbs
