ARE YOU SURE ?

" You actually ketched a crappie " me
him "yes i am sure it was a crappie "
"send me a photo " me
him "phone was in the truck " !
" Are you sure ? " me
him "YES" !
"I will be there in 15 to 20 minutes " !!! me :Rofl
then he sends me a big ole kitty fish selfie ?
But onward I drove , up and down them big hills off in the middle of no where .
left turn , right turn , on and on down the dirt roads , finally found him at high noon .
what a fabulous adventure yawl ....neither of us ever been there .
he got permission to fish this little spot in the wooded hills WAY off the paved venue , long forgotten it seems.
I know the folks that gave him permission too and so off we went with myself ,my wife and of course mini KABOOM to meet up and see said "crappie" .
we struggled to ketch fish in the clear water and bright sunshine . some of the typical farm pond sunfish and something that bought jerked the pole out of my hand and escaped . he kept saying for sure he ketched 2 crappie before we got there !
and then ......
K A B O O M ! BIG ole slab Mohawk gets landed !!
Then yet another not racing stripe that looked like its twin !
Then my wife managed a small mohawk as well .
Mini KABOOM only managed to ketch sunfish and it was hot and the bite was tough in such clear water in the bright of the day .
I imagine some time in the future we will return to the middle of nowhere in more favorable fish ketchn conditions , but as of now .....
YES I AM SURE IT WAS A CRAPPIE ! :Rofl
KABOOM is the word yawl :highfive

Looks like crappie to me. :rolleyes::woohoo Nice catch. Thanks for sharing this fishing report and pictures.

Oh yeah, those are some good ones for sure. Pretty sure those are crappie too.....:Rofl

Wow, that was out there. Needed your GPS to find that spot! Easy to see those fish haven’t been pressured. I even saw those wind turbines way off in the distance. Thanks for the ride along!

I am sure glad all the asphalt leads us to water and dirt roads somewhere. If you took the dirt road you had a great trip.
