Well, praise the Lord for allowing the water to fall and the fish to bite. After a month I finally got to go fishing again. Between all of the rain and several funerals, including my wife's grandmother this last Wed., I have not had a chance to go fishing.
I got to the lake about 10:15 this morning. I caught about 5 that I threw back between 10:30 and 12:30. Then about 1:00 the good ones turned on. I don't know if they started biting or if I finally found them in the deeper water, but I finally managed to keep 16 that I caught in 18-20 feet of water about 15 feet deep. I caught all of them except one on red body with glitter and a chartreuse tail on a chartreuse head.
I kept a couple of dinks but a couple of them were almost 15 inches long. I don't have a scale to weigh them on. Does anyone have an idea what a thick 15 inch crappie would weigh. Here are a couple of pics.

Mine normally weigh 2.5 to 3.5 pounds but being a preacher (since you can't lie like the rest of us) yours will probably weigh 1.5 to 2#

Now that's funny! Good looking fish there PASTOR, glad to see you get back on em!

That was funny Flat Foot. I guess it would be okay to go on the high side and say about 2 lbs, huh? LOL. Preachers just don't get a break. The rest of yall can have a 3.5 lbs fish. LOL. I'll have to tell that one to my deacons. HeHeHe.

hey pastor, youi still catching them in the channel across from park?? last time i went, i caught some there, but did better back towards the public launch on parks road. i think i might go in the morning. holler if youi wanna go with me.

doc

Doc, no can go in the morning. Have prayer breakfast at church in the morning, then promised to spend the rest of the day with the wife. Plus I have a mission trip meeting tomorrow night. Catch you another day. Yea I was in the channel.

That was funny..lol.. Pastor, Congrats on the catch. Some nice fish you got there. Thanks for the post and pics... My guess would be around 2lbs.

It's hard to tell tales when you are a preacher. Good mess

nice catch congrats those are some nice slabs
