Well I managed to get out last evening for just a couple hours before sunset. Wanted to try a couple spots that I haven't tried, but have been wanting to. Here is some of the results. You might notice there is one shy of a limit in the picture, want to know why? Stay tuned for the rest of the story, I am in the process of writing it now.

Anyway....good story and if that old crappie lives another year maybe she'll be 17" next year. Probably not. :highfive
The thing that bummed me out the most about loosing that fish was not loosing the fish, it was the fact that it had been in my bucket for a while and very likely will not survive. Live and learn I guess. But I can guarantee you that I will be draining the water from my bucket in a different manner from now on.Quote:

Pretty bad when you lose a nice one.....AFTER IT WAS FILLETED!!! :dono
Great story.
Na Frank, if it had the gumption to make it outa your bucket, it'll live to find ya another day!:ThumbsUp
