My best ever was in March 2012, longlining on the Hill. Already had my best big fish day ever, with a 2 lb 2 oz, 2lb 6 oz, and a 2 lb 9 oz in the livewell. Hung a heavy fish that I was sure was a flathead catfish...almost fainted when it surfaced. I quit fishing and drove to Iva, SC where they had a contest going on and certified scales. After weighing the "small" three, I pulled out the giant and she weighed 3 lbs 10 oz. Kept all 4 swimming in my 50 gallon bait tank for 24 hrs while I pondered mounting options. In the end I released them all at the boat ramp closest to my house (and even closer to GABowman's house!) Still waiting to re-catch them....

P.S. One more funny story, the next day I took two gentlemen fishing who had never been crappie fishing. A trolled rod goes down, and one reels in a fish weighing 2 lbs 12 oz. He turns to me and asks "Is this one big enough to keep?" (And he was serious!)
