x2 !!

I apologize if I have started this hater business. I admit I have rode the fish catchers hard and may have crossed the line. I love the reports and pictures and the forum would be ruined without them. For the most part, if a fish picture is posted up, the author already knows it is a good fish. After several years of hanging around here, I just got tired of posting "good fish" since the OPs already know they are good fish. Instead, my salute to them is a little trash talk and a yes, "I'm envious", post. Only one time since I have been a member of this forum have I asked where a specific lake X was and BillyE was kind enough to supply me with an answer. I never fished that hole, but out of respect for Billy, I've never revealed that information to anyone even to a close friend who asked me specifically about that spot. In another situation there was a bit of information trade and a person revealed a lake to me that held some big fish. I was able to fish this lake for about an hour and caught 8 fish 6 being above 1.5 lbs and the biggest being my first 2lber ever. I did not even clean these fish in public to avoid questions and out of respect to the people on this board who fish that particular lake X, I will not reveal its name, even though I may never fish it again. To the people who complained about lake X info...I could reveal the location of lake X cause my in-laws live on the lake, but I won't, because it is the home lake of someone else and I don't fish there on a regular basis so I don't feel I have the right to do this. The fish catchers on this forum have put out more than enough information for you to read between the lines and go catch some fish. If you don't like the amount of information you are getting, you need to go figure out a pattern on your own lake, the fish there will eat everyday just like the fish on every other lake, and then ask the great fish catchers on this board to come and fish it with you. You may not be able to do this tomorrow, but one of these days your lake will have the hot bite when other lakes are slower and you can invite todays lake X fishermen to go with you. I am positive they will reciprocate when the bite is the other way around. If you don't like this idea, there are several member guides who will show you the ropes of catching fish at a bargain price. Either way, you gotta pay to play either in cash, or in time spent on the water spent. Back when I was a child, my dad would take me to a spot, cast the line, and hand the rod to me so I could reel in a fish. There is not one crappie catcher on this forum who would not do the same for you, if you needed it, but I'm guessing that the most of those that are complaining about Lake X are adults and well capable to do this all by themselves. I encourage all to use this forum as a learning tool and to make friends. There are thousands of fish producing tips and techniques that are hidden in the pages of Crappie.com and that is all a person needs. A search function has been supplied to help you find these. So my word to the real haters is, get over your sense of crappie entitlement do a little research and go fishing. If you can't outsmart a fish with the brain the size of a thimble, you probably shouldn't be playing with hooks anyway.

Again, I apologize for all this "hater" business. Even though I have met several of these lake X fishermen and I think they know me well enough to know that no offense was intended, but I felt I need to publicly say it because there are many that read who do not know me.

Dang Rendull, you so r-tic-uh-lut! I wishes I cud speak so elaphantly.

No "clicks" here just friends fishing with friends , friendship that where made because of this great site!!!!!! Keep up the posting Chris , don't let a few bad apples ruin the joy most get from reading about the success of others !

Hey, forget lake X! We got a river lake down South here we call Triple XXX ! ! ! ! It's so hot we have to carry an extra ice chest full of block ice just to keep the livewell from boiling over.... If you don't catch three limits in a day on that lake You ain't fishin' Jack!! LOL!!! Oh yea, then there's a couple of others that go by the names Double XX #1 and Double XX #2, which are almost as good...... These "X" lakes have been around forever and keep poppin' up all over from time to time.

I had to quit fishing triple xxx cause I could not afford to buy all that ice.!!!!!! So I fish lake OXB W now. ......

I'm going to lake M in the morning you can meet me at Y landing and I'll prove that I am not a threat to the crappie heard in lake M.
