Did not get out as early as I hoped but finally got out. Water surface temp around 57. I managed to get two crappie in the boat so that was a plus. One 12 inch and one 10 inch. Attachment 423648 Attachment 423649 Attachment 423652
one other thing made 3 fish total
Attachment 423653 All in all I enjoyed my day except for falling and breaking my favorite rod. :yikes
Hope you all had a great day :fish
Sorry to hear about your favorite rod. Those are some great fish
Thanks 12 inch is close to my best if not my best. Never know I may get a 15 inch also one day :pray . I have never broken a rod in half before. A tip at the eye once. But I didn’t fall in the water and the only thing I hurt was my dignity lol.. I am sure a couple guys across the lake had a good laugh. No cell phones were harmed either lol. Good luck tomorrow all.
I had a bass boat buzz me and put me in the bottom of the boat last year. Year before that I was in the bigger boat. A wake boat came by in the main channel. I turned the boat toward the wave. Spun the seat around and cast out the back of the boat. Next thing I know my feet get wet. The wave rolled over the bow of the boat and flooded the area between the decks. I had a 6 inches of water in the boat. Took the bilge pump 20 minutes to dewater the boat. That wake boat was throwing out a roller
I am thinking a padded floor and walls for the boat lol
:Rofl
Certainly couldn't hurtQuote:

I am a firm believer in life jackets. That was instilled in me as a child and I was wearing mine. Since I like the vest type It gave me protection even though I was fortunate and didn’t fall in water!
sometimes we do dumb things, sometimes the dumb things just happen. Be prepared as possible my friends.

Been there and done that, Dan. My best was slipping on a way too steep slope and rolling into a gully. I was really lucky not to hurt myself, except for the dignity part. I had to take a break and sit on a log and laugh at myself. I have slipped in the creek more times than I would like to admit and finished off one phone that way.:bangheadQuote:

congrats on the fish
Dan, that embarrassing moment you won’t soon forget. I launched my boat untethered once and had to strip to my scivvies and swim after it. That wasn’t pretty and I double check the bow line ever since.
Those are some nice fish, I’d be pleased with em. I don’t always do great but a couple of fish sure brightens the day.
