Had a really good day on the lake today. Neighbor asked me if I’d catch her some fresh fish and she’d trade me a nice pasta dinner for them. Couldn’t turn down that trade. First two crappies were my two biggest of the day. Both over 13. Pulled one more good one from that spot before I moved. Second spot gave up two more keepers but the third spot was on fire. Ten foot deep in fourteen foot was magical. Caught over forty fish and most of them almost 11 inches. Kept my 15 to finish my limit and left them still biting. Hope they stick around. That was fun catching a fish on every cast.
