Kirk I am glad someone is finally getting all those DINKS out of my way..Thanks..only kidding you Kirk,,,well done my friend and looks like a great day on the KILLER...Ranger

It's hard to tell on that photo but the smallest fish was 12"! I Will be happy to get those dinks out of your way Mark! Just remember to leave a few for me.

Was wondering if anyone else has caught one of these, it was attached to a nice crappie, caught it yesterday on Tenkiller

I have only seen one those before, were you up lake or down? I think it's a lamprey? But I could be wrong.

From what I found it is a lamprey, and it was up the lake

I catch them frequently attached to trout on the Norfork river in Arkansas. They can get pretty big, I have seen them up to 18 inches. It seems they like cool clear waters.

Yes I pull them of Crappie every year on the Killer. Some years are worse than others but we always see a few each year...Ranger

Fished on the upper end today and the water temp was 55.8 degrees with the water clarity just alittle off colored. Can't for the life of me figure out why it would be off colored since the lake is over 8' low and no rain to speak of. But the 1st day after a front had the crappie dug in deep and tight in the wood and if you dug over a pile wanting to get bit you was out of luck today. Find the thickest part of the wood on you locator and drop your bait til your line slacks. Pick it up a few cranks and hold it still, then drop it again to the bottom and try and hit a limb if you want a bite. Ended up with 22 keepers and about that many short fish but it was a tough day with slick water, blue bird skys, and the 1st day after a front....all making for a hard days fishing......Ranger
