Concerning fish pictures...

Look guys, I work a full time job, pastor a church, am trying to complete my Master's Thesis and am doing my dead level best to be a good dad for my two boys.

My fishing opportunities are limited to Saturdays alone and only if nothing more important ends up on my schedule for that Saturday, which happens more often than I would like. When you factor in bad weather, that can make for some pretty slim chances.

Having said all of that, I appreciate every single picture and fishing report. PLEASE DON"T STOP POSTING THEM!!!!!! I would love to log in every single morning and be able to look at someones healthy limit of crappie or a few new pictures of big slabs.

It does my heart good to know that someone is out there catching a few and it fuels my passion to clear up some time one afternoon, or on that next Saturday. It also helps me feel like I've got some idea of how deep they might be and what they might be hitting before I get to the lake.

Post away. Us guys sitting in the cheap boat seats don't think you are bragging, rubbing anyones nose in it, or being offensive in any way. And anyone who does has bigger problems than your fish pictures!

That's my two cents worth. :twocents That and a nickel still won't buy you a soda pop!

Amen!

I 2nd that amen!!!

theysaid. After all, isn't that what this place is about.

Preach on brother!

theysaid

One more amen from this corner. Good post Tony

Then come on RCC we need to see some pics of those notorious paper crappie and the allusive 3 pounder

Here is one of those so called 3 pound Poinsett crappie that is really only about 1 1/2 pounds.

I would like to see RCC with a Lake Poinsett 3-Pounder...

Maybe he will have the Tooth Fairy along as a fishing guide! :Rofl

Mojorig -- I'd be pleased to catch a limit of those out of Lake Poinsett, or any NEA lake!!!

Looks like RCC has been trying to hide what he really catches at Poinsett.lol;)

That beats the 7-10 inch crappie I keep catching at Lake Hogue.

Just have to weed through them. I went last saturday and caught around 50. Didn't catch any of the bigger ones that day, but ended up keeping 10. They were all 11-12". Caught 5 big enough from 9am to around 6 pm. Caught the last 5 from 6 pm til dark. Missed several more.:)

Last Saturday was too rainy for me, and this Saturday I'm tied up with a church BBQ. After this weekend my schedule is clear for a couple of Saturdays. I'll be there with bells on...

It never rained at hogue. It was just cloudy and windy Andkin of cool early. That afternoon turned out good. This rain tonight and tomorrow with the temperature drop will probably mess up this weekend. But, I will probably still go as long as the wind isn't to bad.

Wish I had known that. I had the afternoon free...

The past several times I've been its been like that. Thinking about staying after dark and trying glow jigs.

I've always wanted to have a fishing journal but always put it off. With crappie.com I just post my trips on here...the good days and the less good days. Hope y'all enjoy.

That fish should be atleast 1 3/4 if it is almost 15''. Does'nt look poor, Some 15'' fish on Dardanelle will break 2 lbs?

Well ok, you have all put the monkey on my back, so I'm fixing to get it off. Here's a nice poinsett slab. Not a 3 pounder, but a good 1 pound eater. I've been catching several this size and about have the freezer filled. Nice post spawn white

Poinsett cooler shot. Eat your hearts out...

Watch out that nasty fish may suck your thumb off!

Very well said Tony.....It is off my opinion too, that posting and sharing is what brought me to this web site. I post every catch I have, and have never hesitated in answering a pm about tatics or information needed. I have also never had a pm not answered about info that I needed. They are some wonderful people here.

That is a very nice fish. It looks to be male by the colors (I'm guessing). If it is the typical thickness. It will be short of 1.5 on my scales. This is the longest I've caught out of there 15.5 I had no scales, but it would not break 2lbs.

My typical Poinsett cooler shot.

I hear ya, bro. But I can't post pictures of my fish catch lately. My camera on my cell phone only has a 4X zoom. Sorry, that's just not enough zoom power for the dinks I caught this week. (Plus, I'd fall over dead from the Vapors if anyone actually saw me bring home what I brought home this week..........but it sure was purty weather!!....<other than the dang gnat hatch>).

I do love seeing these pics too. I remember the days when the big ones were what was in my livewell!!!! Sigh. Oh, the memories.

Seriously, when I fish by myself I seldom even think of taking a picture. Plus, what I caught this week truly were too small..........but every one of 'em taste just like crappie!!!

Every picture I see, each post from ya'll out fishing keeps me pumped for when this house move gets done. I joined for the camaraderie, knowledge, and fun of these lovely paper mouths that tend to evade my hook! My wife and I have talked about attending the fall camp as well. Can't wait to post some pics of my own soon. :twocents Besides, I've got to pack these rods I haven't finished building. :banghead Did that today.

There seems to be something wrong with that crappie's mouth, must just be a deformity you recon??? Buddy hooked a gar the other day and let it get off at the boat. I told him there goes your dinner, he said when I seen what it was I was hoping he'd shake off.

Here is a couple my youngest son caught Monday at Millwood

It's the Good Lords way of keeping me honest. However, I have been doing arm stretches and working on camera angles and such. I need all the help I can get on my fish:Rofl

:fish That's right. Amen to that, I love the pictures also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
