Jim and I went to Cain Creek again Saturday (3/21) and this time we took his son (Winston), nephew (Koby) and one of Jim's co-workers (Kevin)! It was an awesome day!
Winston, Jim's 14 year old son caught his FIRST crappie! It was a 3 pound 1 ounce crappie!!! Not a bad one to start out on!!! We may never be able to top that one!!! :)

Nice fish!
oh man, what a way to start fishing......he will be hooked like the rest of us.....
Just curious, was that the only fish caught? (Mind you that one fish has more weight than all the fish combined on my last TWO trips)
Nice fish.:D
No we actually brought home another crappie about 1 1/2 pounds and a small bass. I let 2 pretty good crappie get off my pole and Jim and Winston each let a bass get off theirs. Jim's bass was pretty big - maybe around 4 lbs.
That is a nice fish!!! That is a heck of a way to start out crappie fishin'!!! I've been crappie fishin' for years and have never caught on that big... must have been beginners luck :D:D:D Tell him congrats!

He had NO clue what he had when he pulled it in!!! That made it even more fun!!! He's still so excited and so are we!!!!! It was and awesome day of fishing for sure!!!
That sure is a fun one to start out on...that's the catch of a lifetime. It sure will be hard for him to top that one! But hopefully he spends the rest of his life trying...:D Those big black CC crappie sure do put up a good fight. I've never caught another crappie like 'em...Quote:

That is an awesome fish and for the first catch ever makes it a minor miracle!! Hope you put it on the wall for him to remember.
HaHa...good for him...that's a great fish and story...Thanks for posting it CC24.
What a great fish for someone that young, I was 58 when I caught one that big and had been trying for a couple of years. A mount of that one would be nice and a lifetime memory. Glad y'all had a good weekend. It's hard to beat a camping and fishing weekend. Thanks for the report and pictures.
Great start!! I'm going to have a hard time catching up!! lol....glad to hear about his 1st fish and big CRAPPIE!!
Thanks to EVERYONE for the comments!!!! We're still REALLY excited about this fish!!! Now we have the challenge of catching one even bigger!!!!! I think Cane Creek is the place to do it!!!!!
I'm 34 still wishing for a 3lber Nice story!!!!:D
