Not Crappie but...

...it is still fishing. Bowlerman planted a seed in me making me almost dream about catching those big catfish. Yesterday after pulling jigs I put up the rods and caught some perch for bait. Today I spent the morning trying my luck after 'em and came up with this one....22 lbs 1 oz. Now for catfishermen such as Bowlerman I know this is a juvenile fish but for me this is now my personal best. Anywho, I plan on getting after the crappie so catfishing will be on the back burner for a little bit but it is a relaxing way to fish and alot of fun when a big 'un bites the hook.:)

He took a fillet about as big as your hand.
