Perfect day on Fork ruined, 10 Aug 2019 - 08/11/19 01:46 AM

Started the day catching 9 1/2 inch fish, we had about 45, with only five keepers and a nice catfish.
Gave these to a friend to add to his cache, and headed for lunch at Crappie Haven, Mmmmm BBQ brisket.
Headed back to the East fork side and contacted my Crappie guide buddy and asked him whats cooking,..?
He told me he had see a bunch on one of the local piles but only caught a few. We decided to check
it out,..........first drop of a big juicy minnow and BANG,....big ole green bully !!! 24 1/2", 8 1/2lbs.
Always a blast on a 10 foot crappie rod, and 10# Berkley mono,....Get the net is all I could hollar...

WTG Jim! Did the bass meet the grease with the crappies? I've heard the big ones don't taste as good as the little ones.

Bruce, you know me better than that,...she lives to fight again another day.

Heck, we dont keep hardly any of the Crappie we catch. Wife dont eat fish, maybe a couple pieces of crappie once in a while. And I dont clean fish, as a kid spending summers at my Grandps's house, we'd sometimes clean crappie for hours and hours, blistered thumb cleaning,,,

I swore when I got old enough I would not clean any fish...!!!
