Slabs,bulls& Pout oh My part 1&2

Well it was a great day after Black Friday on the ice.
EForce & friend plus MT & Jack,Juano,JR,Mallard ,Chopperman88 and myself headed back out
for some more slab action.
It was overcast to start but then the snow started to blow in.
The action started right off of the get go for a few of us.
EForce had a hot hand.
Check out this video.

Jack started right of as soon as he sat down over a hole.

Mallard drilled several today ....did not move much as he made the hole dish out
a limit.

MT sure was having fun ribbing everyone and generally clowning around.
We almost had a group pic till he hops in the middle of everyone.The ice cracks.
Boys were a bit skiddish to begin with ,but when they all scattered.Reminded me of a fox in a chicken coup.
Here's ole MT Bucket..live and in color

This was a nicer gill that EForce caught and I was sort of smitten with the lil cutie so I took a few pics.

We weighed it digitally...15 oz.

This was a nice cap to finish 2 days on the ice.
It's looking like recoup day for Sunday

DANG, looks like you all had fun, CONGRATS !!

We are still wating on the ice around here.

It's a gas for me Mike to get these guys out on some quality fish.
Teaching some of them how to work the water column and seeing the fruits can not be beat.

The Gill is a hog, just goes to show how rare true 1lb gills are. Love the color of your crappies. That nice yellow background is not something I see a lot from my local lakes.
I can hardly wait for the ice here to get just a little thicker.

Good luck with your fishing this winter Tim.
