I caught just a few but got a late start. That`s my story and I`m stickin with it.

Nice catch Horace!

Pretty good haul for "a few".

That big girl has a beer belly Nice catch

That one looks like it crossed with a black bass!

Good Job Bonz... nice

Ok here is the real. Have you ever had a Crappie friendly Fish basket? well I`m embarrassed to say that mine made an April fool out of me. After depositing 11 decent fish in it it just decided it had had enough so when I attempted to deposit #12 it made a deposit of it`s own.You got it 11 slab Crappie returned to the lake swimming, frolicking and celebrating their newly found freedom leaving me with an empty basket and one single solitary fish in my hand. The whole bottom just gave way even after I had used those plastic electrical cable ties to lock up the bottom hinge.So disgusted was I that I just threw the basket in a trash can to keep company with one of those folding Academy chairs that someone had put in. I finished the evening with seven on my backup stringer even though they eventually made the long trip back to my freezer,it still couldn't assuage the anguish I felt for the 11 lost to that terrible terrible basket on Sat April 01,2017.I guess too many big pregnant girls in an old fish basket was just too much for it to handle.

Your right Eric! but check out the rest of the story!

Hey Bonz, after that happened to me a FEW times, I finally starting tying a trotline striing around the trap door to keep that from happening....and man, I do know that level of Discust....just wish I hadn't been such a slow learner...took me two many years to get away from those baskets...the LAST Straw was the night that snake found its way inside my basket! I was picking lead out of those crappie while they were on the dinner table!

I`m gonna try it AGAIN Tues but this time with a better basket.

April Fools or not those are some nice fish. Good job.
