This is what a REAL crappie looks like ! ! !

For starters the wind was horrible and I fell in the lake yes FELL in the lake. The hazards of bank fishing are many. Fished Pickthorn for a couple hours today and caught a bunch of dinks and this slab. Since it was the only keeper I tossed it back at the end of the day. A warning to any bank fishermen going to Pickthorn. Stay away from the dark stained area on the concrete banks. I busted my butt and got wet upto my waist and my buddy busted his knee pretty good. 2 more felles got wet before I left but I pretended like I didnt see. Sorry about the picture quality taken with a camera phone.

That's a good slab. Did'nt you weigh it ?

Coats what are you doing messing around on Pickthorn? I thought you were a dedicated Conway man.

Nice slab.

Coats...a slab that size is worth a few trips in the water....=) Nice fish. Thanks for sharing...MM

A friend of mine thought he would bring me to "his" lake and show me how to fish. He didn't even get a bite. Need a boat and a fish finder to mark some cover in the deep channel and you could probably tear em up all day long. I didn't weigh it but I measured it from my fingertip to elbow and measured that to be 17.5 inches when I got home. Imma guess it to be 2 something....

nice looking slab coats. you need a little more cushion if your going to walk on moss covered concrete.It does get pretty slick at times. glad your ok.

That's a nice slab. It must be a sign for me to start venturing away from my normal haunts. And just so you know...the Conway Crappie Gods caused you to bust your arse...:D

That's a good slab Coats! I'd guess at least 2 1/4 maybe more. A 2 1/2 here measured 16" but our fish tend to be a little shorter but real stocky. I've always heard that Pickthorn had some big slabs in it.
