Great looking fish Mike, I see what I missed this year by not being able to hook up. Come on next January.

Fishergurl ARE you in Australia yet?

CG1 - Heck no... got sent to Cincinnati for 2 months. My hotel is sitting on the the bank of the Ohio river though and I always look out the window and wonder if there are Crappie in the river out there... lol. Terry got to go fishing in East Fork, Ohio with a nice guy from the Ohio forum (thanks Larry!) and we will be here in Cinci until mid April and then heading to the Keys to try some salt water fishing.
