My daughter, stepson, and nephew all helped put these in the boat yesterday. The largest was caught by my nephew on a watermellon yum jig. Most were 2-3 feet and caught in brush along the bank. All in all we had a good day. Also the beer can is a Tribute to LA.

Glad to see you got to take the family out for a fishing adventure....I love seeing that boy grinning ear to ear....spitting image of my little cousin, reminded me I need to take that boy fishing with me soon....Thanks for sharing the pics....MM
TOO SWEET. Love the pics. Especially the one of your step-son / nephew with that huge smile. A smile like that makes all of the tangled lines, tree-bass and "I'm tired and ready to go home after 5 min" worth while.
Awesome post Jake. Is that the same kid that you brought to the gathering on the Little Maumelle? If it is I think we got us a new crappie.com member. That kid didnt fish 2 minutes and landed a crappie when I saw him.
Watch out Darryl and Jerry, the next generation crappie guide is on your heels.
Jake, I'm glad y'all had a good trip to Hamilton. The kids looked like they had a great time.
Nice pics! That is what it is ALL ABOUT! Look at those smiles
Looks like y'all had an awesome trip, both on and off the water. And I like that tribute to Stumpjumper...:D
Great pics. Isn't it great how they always know which ones to hold up for the camera...That is just God given talent.
That does it, now I am gonna have to go buy some Busch beer and see if I can get them drunk enough to go home with me.....lol......
Congrats on the catch, them youngen's look like they couldn't have been happier. Thanks for the post.
Hey you got it right that boy will remember forever, looking at the smile on his face. these are some of the best times of life!
Gooch, you got it right. that's my nephew from the trip to the Maumelle. He said it was the biggest crappie he's ever seen and the biggest fish he's ever caught. I hope that this will stick with him forever. He already went yesterday and all he caught was a bunch of bass, but he loves getting the line pulled. I can't say that I like the bass as much as the crappie, but it is hard to explain that one. I will give it another year and you will see that pretty little filly out with me all the time. she loves being out on the water, but she just doesn't understand the stopping the boat to fish. All she wants to so is "Fly Daddy, Fly Daddy."
Hey Jacob:
I need you to show me how to catch them on Hamilton this time of year!!! I fished there this morning and only came up with about a dozen. Had one that was nearly 16-inches and a couple other pretty good ones. Of course the yellow bass where everywhere. What part of the lake are you fishing? The water is really clear on the south end of the lake where we do most of our fishing. I guess the crappie are spawning under the docks in that area since there isn't any shallow cover. When we got back to my client's dock to take pictures and clean fish I offered to clean "a few" crappie they had caught under their dock this week that they had in a floating basket. They had 7 or 8 males that were all around 14-inches long!!! I usually stay on Greeson through the spawn and do real well on Hamilton in the post spawn when they come back to my condos.
