Local Lake Big fish!

As some of you may remember, there is a small lake next to my house. I posted that some big fish came out of it , along with a couple of 3lbs slabs back in spring! Micorps and I have been talking about giving it a try for crappie. He drove Up to the mtns last night and me , him and my son Luke got on the water at daylight. Took us a while to find any fish but we ended up with 12 crappie and about that many yellow perch. Crazy thing is, the first keeper was a 17” monster slab my son caught! I plan to get a replica mount made of this one. Thanks Tim for coming up and showing us how to catch them !

Minners today. Didn’t try the jigs since it was a first attempt at finding them.

Yes, 2lbs 8oz and exactly 17 inches. Gonna get a replica mount for him on this one. I guess it would’ve pushed 3lbs back in the spring. Fairly skinny fish.

That is a nice Crappie, a slab for sure. How big were the Yellow Perch? They are tasty fish also if they are big enough. Most all I catch are small, but I've never fished a lake that had a decent population or else they eluded me.(More likely)

Thanks Ray, all the perch were 7-9" long. But there are PLENTY of them in there. More than i actually realized. I know they would have been good if we kept and fried the whole fish. Just like a small brook trout in a pan. But i didnt want to go to the trouble.
