Thread: When she ketches crappie

According to my wife , I only want to do group selfies when my fish is bigger than theirs ....
this is for sure NOT fact ....
me don't really care what size the fish is and or who ketched it .....just saying
it was a strange day on the dock , sometimes I was ketchn bluegill and she was ketchn crappie ....
then just like that, me was on the crappie and she was on the bluegill .....
we all used micro hand ties from JUNGLEJIM and played us a game of let's ketch dem fisheez ....
everyone deployed a float as you can clearly see in one image ....
my wife , daughter and myself went for a few hours of pitching them jigs under floats
how many did we ketch you ask ....a bunch
how many did we clean ....ZERO
what were the species involved , all of them that live in that lake and them other ponds too ....
most of the fish were deep , floats were set at 6 foot deep or better ....
bites were SO VERY VERY light , that you really had to watch that floatation device like a hawk.
the fish all left the short water in the 3 spots we hit , the sunfish were totally gone from spot 2
the short water at stop 3 ,was pretty sad as well .....
and silly us left biting fish at stop 1 .....
and my wife said why would you want to try another spot ?
you are ketchn crappie like crazy .....
and I said this .....because it ain't fair for just me to be hammering fisheez
the bite had went south for them under floats and I was free handing the crappie off the bottom in deep water at that point in time ....
the one thing for sure positive is we had us a good time
KABOOM
p.s. we lost a few jigs and floats , I told my wife to let me cast it for her at spot 3, do the amounts of trees in that location right on top of us , she of course refused my help and said she got this ....and she sure did ....she casted perfectly around them trees above us, all the way across the pond RIGHT into the tree on the opposite bank !

She is now officially a teenager, she is pretty good at ketchn fish , but she typically sets a limit on how many she wants to ketch before she is done ketchn em ….
She has always set personal limits on them , likely due to me bribing her to go when she was a wee one …. I would set a limit on how many fish she had to ketch , to get an Oreo blizzard on the way home from the water…
Sometimes if she exceeded the limit , I would upside the blizzard….
The new version is SUPER TACOS from taco casa …..
All I have to say is we could hit taco casa on the way home and she is pretty much in the truck ready to go …..
