Fish and Chips anyone ?

1 st drop , potato chip .....:yikes:Rofl
2nd drop , FISH ! :biggrin
sure was a decided difference in the pulling action involved and to be VERY sure that there summer bass was a bit lethargic and the first few moments in the wrestling match and the time it went by my feet sub surface made me say this about that .....
WOW thats a HUGE crappie ! .....then it came to the top for the real show and it got ugly on the dock right quickly ,but in the end 20 inches of fish later , I had me a FISH to go with my chips of the day .....:banghead:Rofl
now mind you this about that , there were some nice crappie under the dock too and some of them other species as well, and the good news is no gar , carp, buffalo, drum or catfish were harmed during that lunch break .....:Rofl
didn't really keep a good count , but probably hit 40 lips or more in an hour pretty easily ...
KABOOM is the word yawl ....:Cowboy
p.s. liked white jigs best and smaller ones got better crappie bites than big ones :highfive

I thought you were using Ruffles or Lays fer bait! :fish

Mighty fine catches….

That spot has lots of summer time white crappie with very black tails , not sure why, but to be sure the darkest white crappie tails I have ever seen locally in the summer :dono
Note the anal fin on 2 of them as well , very dark too ….

Spent many a 12 hour rotating shift in the AF. Never get use to it and we never seemed to have enough staff to work regular hours.

Good lunch break, I’d be smiling when I got back.

I’ve worked a couple of jobs with crazy shifts. They weren’t popular. 3 weeks and back up a shift and do it again in 3 weeks. It took me two weeks to be able to sleep right. Dedicated worked well for me.

never liked the night shifts much was me , but we did enjoy the 2nd shift off at 11 thing and right to the lake as soon as they let us go ,the boat would be hooked up to the truck and off we went , back home at daylight with a full ice chest ....was pretty good times for sure :highfive

Hey a old black nose crappie, been a while since I seen one of those, great fish ketchn.
