we were both thankful we didnt keep the 50 we were allowed .
and like my bud told a guy we met leaving , we would have been done in under an hour if we did .
a creek/river full of them stacked up like that is just about impossible to imagine .
and when we went to the north end there were magnum sandbass mixed in with them as well .
the southern downsteam area was just about 100 % crappie .
sure did get my hands beat down good , i got cuts gouges scratches and they just now warmed back up
