Found something Today

Looks like fishing is most definitely out today. Has been raining since last night so I decided to clean out my desk draws this morning. While cleaning them out and having a cup of coffee, I found something of interest that I thought I would share. It actually started as a joke but maintained for quit a while. So here it is. This is the Certificate that I received for catching the #2 Black Crappie in the State. I also have one for catching the #9 bass in the state at one time. Now that wasn't a joke, but it only takes away from any effort on my part to bass fish again.

Good job Tommy. The crappie fishing is to improve your BASS Fishing and Bass fishing is to improe your crappie fish.

Good job, Tommy. I thought you must have a degree or something and now we've seen it.---Pooch

If my wife calls, tell her I went fishing with TOMMY!!!!!!!!11

Hey guys....

Thanks to al of you. I really did start this as a joke knowing that there had been plenty of crappie caught well over 3.13 lbs. It was just too tempting knowing that the records had been changed in 1994. Actually we, (some of the people that fish with me), had started putting fish in the book long before I caught this 3 pounder and had a total of 5 in the books before I landed this fish. I'll see if I still have a pic and if so post it some time.
