I have learned what a potlicker & back reeling is from the TFF after all these years.

Not sure exactly, so I am posting to see. It has been a long time. Met some great folks here in the crappie section and learned a lot for sure. I used to post a lot..pics, reports, and technique but seldom post anymore. I read the forum daily, but there for a good while there were to many critics of what you posted about and I don't have time for that. I still fish a lot with my son and we still catch our fair share of fish. This forum has certainly changed over the years for good and bad, but the bottom line is there is a lot of good information here for crappie fisherman to read.

I remember all that. Keep at it Xavier!

I was surprised that I've been on here 11 yrs. For the longest I was what the Old Timers referred to as a "Lurker " but I felt I didn't have much to contribute to a thread. I have received a ton of useful knowledge and advice from the members of this forum and find I do have something to share these days thanks to a lot of great anglers on this site. Change is inevitable but not all bad. I still check the forums daily just to see who is doing what and where. Keep up the good work and I hope to be reading everyones posts for another 11 yrs

I cannot believe it has been (9)years since I registered on TFF.

Loved reading the post by WylieCrappieman. It was exciting to read his posts of bank fishing and float tubing.

Always love reading the stuff by Lovfldx. Rudy demonstrated several of the many opportunities to fish, closer to home. An angler who is always studying nature, celebrating his catch, be it sandbass, crappie, big bluegills, catfish or hybrids. A man who really appreciates the sport of fishing.

SandwichMaker. Posted lots of beautiful pics with his info. Loved seeing the Waterwagon and an affixed stringer of slab crappie anchoring it in place.

Ernest Paty. Introduced me to shooting a jig through his DVD. I cannot tell you how many times I watched him fishing the bridge, dock or brushpile in the DVD. Read his posts through the calendar year and derived beneficial information to use on the water.

Jiggen El - love seeing the pics of his float tube adventures. I'm hoping there is a Tuber United reunion this year to add to the collection of stories and photos of slab crappie around the metroplex.

Chuck Rollins and Lane Palmer. IMHO - the best guide service in the metroplex. Love reading the CCL reports, always finding beneficial tips or advice contained within them.

Dutch1947. Dutch is a true sportsman and friend of TFF. I always feel like I have received an honest report of the state of crappie fishing. Dutch speaks and I listen.

TFF has been a blessing. I have been known to revisit the archives of all of the anglers mentioned, to read their reports, to become inspired and to simply be thankful for my love and passion of this hobby.

I can't say things have changed all that much, the players may change but the game remains the same
Fish til you drop! Take it with a grain of sea salt.

I think that's what got me hooked here. I remember when they went through each other's waypoints. Few of the weren't even on the water

I migrated here from the Hunting Forum a while back.I do read all the forums fom bass to sandbass and crappie.I enjoy catching them all.I have learned a lot from them all but I enjoy just reading about and fishing.The successes and the skunked days.There is plenty to learn from them all.

I've been here since 2007, which was a big shock to me. That makes some of ya'll pretty old

almost 10 years for me

Can you imagine if Crappie Dale and Ketchup were on here at the same time? Geez Louise that would be epic and I mean epic in a bad way!

LOL I know

I'm actually 9 years old in TFF years. Which is one more year than Stucky, but he has like 10K more posts than me!! It'll make sense if you ever get to meet him. I never have been much of a poster, and probably miss my name being trashed a lot, but I don't get to caught up in stuff that doesn't effect my family, or my money, so I'm largely indifferent to what most of you guys post. I believe that the beauty of the internet is that you can choose how much of it you want. If I don't feel like reading somebody go on and on about a bunch of nothing (based on my opinion), then I simply move on. Some people have the equivalent of road rage out here, and get upset with guys just because they've decided they don't like them. If you wanna use incorrect grammar, do you. If you wanna lie about where you caught them, or how, go ahead. If you wanna back reel, back that thang up.

My wife told me a long time ago, that if something doesn't directly effect me, that I don't give it much energy. I guess she's right. BUT... I will say that I have met some people that I will consider life-long friends that are polar-opposites of me (but good men, in spite of that) because of this 1 thing we have in common. That in and of itself is worth the occasional trip out here to yank chains, and get roasted about my ability to count, or operate a PFD. At the end of the day, my motto is live, and let live. Fish, and let fish. TDub Out............

Nice one T Dub!
