Default Fishin 7/10

Kass and I went fishin today and had a blast. Caught tons of fish...couple 3-4 pound channels, a 4.5lb bass and lots o crappies. She caught her biggest (crappie) to this day, a 13 inch black crappie. She followed it up with another one. But dont worry, I beat her with my biggest crappie this year. A 16 inch pig. Didnt weigh it but id guess 2lb or so. Had the shortest tail ever "if only it had a normal one..." lol, Pictures of it didnt do justice so I put a 8 inch 32oz poweraide bottle next to it. We kept 12 ranging from 10.5-13 inches. I released this biggun and several otther 10 inchers. I think she is hooked
