Boy howdy was it a good visit , just me and a jig and them fisheez ...they didn't realize I was there apparently and for sure the bigs and lilz and all points in between paid in lip tissue .
actually grabbed the net on the dock TWICE ....
some true Texas giants came to hand , sure love a giant summer time fish ....
big summer time crappie are some of the most elusive ever fish in my opinion .
Wife called about 5:45 pm to ask if I was almost home ....
said no mam , am at Buddy's place for a few
she was like WHAT ...you are there AGAIN !
said yep , just had to , will leave in 15 minutes , been here since 4:30 .....
did well free pitching and under a float as well ...
takes were so far past light and gentle it befuddles the mind ....
no big bites , just light pecks here and there , so subtle is the word ...
it's like you imagine you got a bite and just set the hook for grins ....
boxed about 35 for grins and let 3 really big ones go and 15 or 20 smaller than edible size fish.
it truly don't get much better yawl ....
went with a larger profile , they did NOT want the tiny ones from the day before ....
a white hand tie and of course an orange one did them in ....
do not start up with the what did they weigh , no scale and in this heat you best get them back in the water or the ice chest FAST anyway , 103 when I rolled up at 4:30 and actually feels like you are in an oven out there .....
most of the fish were in a bit deeper water until right before I left and then they went shallow ,
12 fow held them well the first hour and then around 8 fow as the sun settled a bit ...
hit the trail with a box full and some nice images on my phone ...
without further ado , here be some nice ones ....
and YES KABOOM is the word
p.s. top right fish was likely pushing that magic number ....
