I believe those pictures are from a Humminbird 998c Si unit but Kosmo could verify that for sure.

That first DI is tremendous. I would have interpreted that top arch in the second 2D as a crappie as well. My experience is that crappie show that narrow, tall arch with the yellow in the middle.

Great images. Thanks for posting.

Based on the figures I've seen from Doug V on BBC, that Crappie would be 12" tall based on 7ft of water. Seems a bit big for a Crappie. Nice pic though.

I’m not following you here mduncan62, those screen snapshots are showing from 7 to 30 feet of water, so where are you getting 7 feet of water from?
Maybe I need to see what DougV posted in the BBC as I figure it’s about a 9 inch tall fish (hard to more exact without the original screen snapshot).
You got a link to DougV’s post on BBC?

I'm pretty sure he is referring to using a ruler to measure the water column image and correlating to the actual depth. Then inferring an object's actual height from the object's measured height on the image.

I have no idea where his seven feet of water came from.

So 13ft of water is showing in Kosmo's pic, and you believe that fish is 9" tall? Love to see how you came up with that.

this picture might be a catfish. the shadow seems to be in a strange place though

I would interpret that shadow's placement as making the fish off to the side in the DI beam slice just a little...
