yeppers , all good it seems ...
KABOOM is the word :cheers2
heck since I got it may as well use it right ?
and first off look at this here pretty boy fish from yesterday at another spot ....
good times for sure ....
KABOOM is near :Cowboy
Nice. Bright chartreuse jig seemed to be the ticket that day. Couple of good catches no doubt.
I used that same size plastic and color at both spots , one with an under belly willow blade spinner and orange head for the slow drag under a float with some noise, flash and contrast in the turbid shallow water.Quote:

Definitely some nice ones
I would fish all day and not catch another fish if I new I would catch that tank.
Standing in the corner is no fun!
There were 2 real good fish on that visit , both made me smile knowing that they are about the best in size a person will find on that particular lake .Quote:

Two real beauties there, Ketchn! Big, well fed and healthy looking!

This one was really large lengthwise and had a big head , she was past prime though in the body and from what is obvious to me on the downhill side of life for a fish .Quote:

None the less , it was cool to ketch her and she was a sly old gal for sure , she bit twice so light it was almost like you imagined you got bit .
Was also pretty tired and gave up quickly for a large fish .
In it's prime it would have definitely been something
The lake water body records often tell the tale in these parts , black crappie there are in good numbers but run small , barely over a lb is a good one there .Quote:

I was told one of my fish I donated to a fella a week or so ago was 2 10 when he weighed it before filleting it .
If so I gave him the new lake record was my first thought ….:Rofl
Fish biology and lake management are difficult things it seems
Our state fisheries dept. has a theory on crappie , they say this about that , we don’t stock them ,we don’t breed them and they can take care of themselves.Quote:
