Saturday-WB-27 crappie and the most inferior of the inferior species.
I headed out to Western Branch on Saturday and got in nearly 7 hours of fishing which is probably the most time I have spent on the water since my wife died so I suppose that is a good thing. (prior to her death I would spend 10-12 hours fishing) I picked up 9 crappie at my first stop, most around 8' down with a black/pink BGBS and then I landed the most inferior of all the inferior species on a pearl/pink BGBS.

This is the first carp I have caught in ages, and my first ever at WB. This pig wasted around 10 minutes of my crappie fishing time as it took a while to land it on 6lb test line. I would estimate that it was close to 15lbs, maybe more.
I ended the day with 27 crappie of which most were caught 13'-20' deep on a pearl/chartreuse Wasshoppah. Most were around 11" with the biggest at 1lb even. I showed the surface water temp at 79-80. Oddly, I was the first boat at the ramp when I arrived around 30 minutes after sunrise and when I left around 2:00 there were only 4 other boats out on the lake which is odd for this time of year.
