Great day of fishing

Slabcrapstu came to fish with Eileen and I this morning. It was a beautiful day on the water, a little cool this morning but it go nice around 10am. Stu and I had a little wager on the big fish and sorry to say I had to pay him because he got the biggest and the most. I'm telling you he had a live well full of big slabs. We took some pictures and they just kept coming out of his live well. Today Stu toped his personal best and landed a big 2lb9oz, he also had a 2.3 and a2.4 and a few others I didn't get the weights. Was a great day and plenty of fish were caught .Eileen and I enjoyed the time together today Stu and hope to do it again soon.

WTG GUYS,VIC, IT LOOKS LIKE HE MAY HAVE TO TEAR THAT BILL IN HALF BECAUSE U DON'T WANT TO LET IT GO:Rofl,NICE PICS

You guys seem to have a bunch of quality days on the water down there. Is it the right time of year, or do fish bite like that all the time?

Was hoping to see you at "weigh in" today Vic.
Missed a good show.

It's the right time of the year, usually from Nov. to April are the best times.

I was planning on it Harold but the fish kept me longer than I planned and We have church on Saturdays at 4pm. How about posting the results for us?

That's what it's all about, tight-lines indeed! At-a-boy Stu on the PB!!

Hey Vic, looks like you and stu had another stellar day on Crescent, going to make it up there one of these days but the Monroe fish keep calling me. Caught a few first thing in the morning on the shore with jig and cork then went out to troll up some more. Not the 2 pounders like Crescent but kept 12 fish to make chowder for our work Christmas party that were from 12" to 15". Not many people out fishing not sure if it was too cold for them or what. It was a bit cold and windy in the am but it calmed down around 10 or 11 am and got real nice. The fish are still there and biting well caught 43. They were wanting bright colors today not dark like last week and slowed down a bit to between 1.1 and 1.2 mph. Water temp in the river was 58 and the lake was 58 on the shore and 61-62 mid lake.

Great Catch Guys !!!!!

What an awesome day! Good fishing with great friends!

Top it all off with a personal best :)

Vic,
Let me give you a little hint.............5 yrs ago i fished Crescent on Classic,
weighed in 9 1/2 lbs on 7 fish and finished 22nd.

Yesterday i - weighed in 12 1/2 lbs and finished 22nd.
At 11:30am we were culling 1 lb 4 & 5 fish to make sure live well could hold and
not loose any. Lost 1 hog-g-g- that had on for 10 min saw him twice, head was
big enough to bury a baseball in without touching the sides..............12' sam heaton
and 6 lb trilene on pfygler could not hold him before he spit hook..
Partner Dave Dirt, lost 2 within same run that went well, well into the 2 lb range........
All & all it was a great day yesterday.

Will post results later today on FCC forum.............pictures will follow later in week,

Nice pics Stu and a great day it was but don't think for a moment that I'm going to forget about that dollar you took off of me. I'll get another chance next weekend.

Congrats to Vic & Stu on a great day, what a nice pig Stu caught & he took your dollar & then let it go, AWESOME !!:HandsClapping :ThumbsUp

You both are great fishermen, I just try to take in as much as possible when I get around you two.

Hopefully I will get to Crescent soon to get in on this action, I would bet either one of you just to see what ya'll would bring in. WOW !!

what a great trip

Great guys. I made my first trip to Crescent and caught a lot of quality fish. 3 over 2lbs. Thanks guys hope to meet you on the lake

Awesome catch

Caught some dandies after I talked to stu and Vic. Caught my biggest since fishing florida 2.6oz. Also had 2 that were 2 even. WOW what a day.
