Not much crappie but I posted here anyway.

Well, I wanted to go to Guntersville after the gills but the little girl wanted to try and catch a crappie so we headed to Wheeler. I loaded basically every type of rod I had in case the crappie bite was no good. We fished for crappie for about 1.5 hours, caught 12, kept 2. Decided to swap to some gill fishing. Fished about 1.5 hours and, caught about 30, kept 12. Nephew wanted to try and catch a catfish so we went after the cats. Caught 17, kept 0 (will not put the slimey monsters in my livewell). It wa some of the biggest cats I had ever caught. Have pictures of 3 of the bigger ones, ended up with 5 like these. I will have to say, they were fun on 6lb line and spinning rod!
