2012 stats

By any measure, 2012 was a year to forget.

Looking ahead to 2013, my situation assessment is nicely summed up by this famous quote from Marine General (and West Point native) Chesty Puller, "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

interesting stats richard. good luck in "13"

My results are the opposite, 2012 was a lot better than 2011. I will post mine shortly. Hope you have a better 2013.

Richard for 2013 we need to run the boats in reverse or you set in the back. We put in a lot of time and trips together in 2012.
I certainly contribute a successful year of fishing to our combined efforts. I certainly share my 2012 season stats with you.

what are these "citations" you guys in VA keep talking about??

Our Game & Inland Fisheries Commission operates a "trophy fish" recognition program (explained here.) There are several levels of achievement, beginning with a simple certificate--known as a "citation." Anglers receive this award when they register a black or white crappie that is either 15" or 2 pounds.
