I ran my gill nets today and pulled up a real slab. My floor to rail on the boat is 18'' and it was longer. I caught a good bunch of Catfish and Buffalo. Man it was coooooold!!!!!!! out there. Well since Crappie are off limits to netters that big old Crappie is back swimmming in Nimrod. Be glad when good weather returns and net season ends so I can break out the jig pole.:D
