OK, OK, I took a little literary license in telling the story. Authors are allowed to do that aren't they?

The bass pics are from last early fall or late summer I think. On top of that, little brother (Gottabe) didn't actually chunk big brother (Gonnabe) out. However, it was a classic one foot on the bank, one foot on the boat kind of a deal. Little bro did catch the big fish of the day though.

The crappie pic, I think is from Spring last year and was caught by little bro. I had shut down the big motor and was making a long troll into a particularly good tree so as to not disturb the fish. Using 12 foot poles, I was about 18 foot from the tree when little bro comes tearing up to the front, bumps me and just about knocks me out so he could get the first drop beside it. Wouldn't you know it, that's the fish he pulled out of there. Completely unassisted with just a jig. If I recall, it went all of 2 pounds and maybe a little more. I love the way he's shoving that fish to the camera to make it look just as big as a suitcase and the expression on Gonnabe's face like "what the ?" That was his first sho-nuff Crappie using a jig pole. Pretty dang good start if you ask me.

You're not far from right on the level - I think it was in the 194 range. Note the GPS has been whited out. hehehehe. Gotta watch out for Pstone, he wasn't born with that talent for finding fish you know. LOL.
