Went fishing with a bucket list Crappie fisherman

I got the opportunity to fish with a well known crappie fisherman and guide. I went fishing with Mr. Todd Huckabee on Lake Eufaula, OK. I had a lot of questions for him and he was more than forthcoming with answers and tips, things not to do, and even helped me with some bad habits I had. We had a great time fishing and talking about fishing and life in general. Todd is a real down to earth person and can put you on some fish for sure. We got on the water around 0930 and we were done by 1230 with two limits of 74 in total of some quality fish. Just thought I would share.

Wow, congrats!

That is definitely a mess to clean. I love having limit out kind of days

That’s a trip of a lifetime for sure ! Congrats on a great trip

Lucky you. That had to be one heck of a good fishing trip.

Thanks everyone. I had a lot of fun. However I had a specific motive and that was to learn more about the industry and he helped me a lot with that. That lake is pretty cool as well, it is full of crappie and they are healthy.

WTG LS! Great experience for sure. I'm on fb w Todd and see these great catches everyday. LSL angler and I saw him at collinsville this year interesting and informative presentation. Nothing like anyone else does no BS and says livescope has destroyed many perceptions most fishermen have about crappie behavior

Good for you!

Yes we talked a bit about livescope and he even let me use it and gave me pointers as to what I was seeing the fish do, and how those fish were reacting to the jig. I was able to get a feel for the system and get a hands on understanding while I was maneuvering the jig around cover. I told him I had wished I had someone with his knowledge years ago as a mentor in crappie fishing. I am a person with no ego, and he was able to give me enough knowledge where I feel comfortable with my thinking and technique that it elevated my confidence to trust myself more on how I approach crappie fishing. Now I just need to buckle down and focus and apply what I learned going forward.

That had to be a great trip.
