Lets call it 2.3

Gents,
Went out this AM with 24 minnows and good weather.
Got to my spot and 1 st fish was a good one.
Got 3 more then moved on.
Nothing seen at Nivens,
Nothing at Little Allison
Back to BA.
Get a call from Tackleboat.
He was doing ok and went on his way.

I was completely packed up and going home.

TB got on some nice ones and called me again.
I went over to see the situation and decided to try again.
Switched to Roadrunners as minnows were gone.

Hooked something heavy and shaking.
99.99 % sure it was a kitty.

IT WAS NOT A KITTY!

Ended up being a 2 lb 3 oz pig!
14 3/4"

A new PR for me.

Got another big one, 1 3/4 lbs


Thanks to Tackleboat.

PS
check out the orange head on the 1/8 oz. Roadrunner.
I painted it with nail polish.

Orange did well on the RR but not on jigs.

Nice fish Brett. Much bigger than my PB.

Very nice! Congrats on PB. I also have jig heads painted with orange nail polish but haven’t used them yet. Maybe it will be lucky for me as well.

Darn nice job!
I think you owe Tackleboat a cold beverage!!

Very nice

Congrats on the PB crappie. It's funny how those things seem to work out, because it sounds very much like I remember my PB's in that it was a very slow day (just like you said your was) and it kinda forced me to go a little outside of my usual pattern for that time of year. Whatever my rationale was... it turned out lucky for me too in that I caught two PB's... (1) 2.37 which was then my new PB and 20 minutes later caught another pig that weighed 2.79 breaking that record PB within 20 minutes of each other in the same area.

That's where the story and the glory ended though... as it was as close as I have ever came to that elusive three pounder that I've been shooting for most of my crappie fishing life.
Congrats again and thanks for sharing.

Well bout time !All that good info I been feedin you finally worked out. Especially the part about follow someone that knows what they are doing. Congratulations grasshopper !

Good going Brett, congratulations on your PB! Must have been scary once you realized it was a big crappie. People have lost many at the boat by not having nerves of steel! Glad you got in the boat. :highfive

Congrats! Hope there is a bigger one soon!

Funny thing about the net.
Directions said it floated.
Just didn't say at what depth it floated!
Could still be there hovering at 20 ft!
