Xmas gift

Was out fishing Lake Talquin this morning. Caught 4 nice crappie over 12". Seemed to be scattered. Could not locate the fish we saw two days ago. Looked to the west and saw a lot of rain coming and decided to pull my rods and head to the barn. All at once my 10' rod doubled, thought at first I had snagged a stump, only when I picked up the rod, the line was moving side ways. Pulled good, first I thought I had a wipe (striper), then a large mouth came to the surface. I couldn't hardly wait for Miss Pat, Lake Talquin Lodge, to see my trophy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS this crappie topped the scales at 2 lb 5 oz.

Great looking slab, I'll be out there trying to get one like that for 7 more days. I was out there when that rain and wind came in. It didn't take long for the winds to hit 20 to 25 MPH, chased us off the lake.

Watch out Chuck....they're going to do everything they can to find your fishing hole. You may want to invest in a disguise. :notworthy

I didn't say where I caught it, but I forgot the name you gave it. I was reminded it was your favorite - Sally Creek. The grub was blue/black/chartuse.

Nice fish Chuck! No one is more deserving. Guys not to step on anyone's toes but it is Christmas not x-mas. Let's celebrate the birth of Christ, not shopping, trees and lights. Luke 2:1-21. Fathers should read this story to their families every year at Christmas. Let's bring our Christian roots back to America. God bless and Merry Christmas!

I agree with your post but it might be a better topic for one of the off topic forums. Sometimes you might see Xmas because it's easier to type....as far as stepping on toes...that's real easy to do when giving an opinion. Chuck is the last person that would disrespect the Christmas Holiday and he certainly meant no disrespect by typing Xmas.

Speck, I know and love Chuck very much, as the others! Chuck and I have many discussions about the ways of the world and I know he meant no disrespect. I am firm in my Christian beliefs and felt lead to bring up the topic as I am thankful for Christ's sacrifice for me. I am well aware of the off topic forums, but it was brought up here and I was just trying to steer friends to remembering God first and protect you guys from the ways of the world. Sorry if I frustrated you.
