Thread: The trips of a lifetime

2 buddies of mine caught 35 slabs 3 days ago. The top seven were Master Angler qualifiers. The top crappie was 17". The next day they took ME! :D We got 25 topped with a 14"er. Yesterday I went solo...got 20 which included a dozen 13"ers I threw back. I got my personal best 15"er. It may be over...maybe not. Some of life's most precious moments take place in the presence of a fish, and these trips will be a few more. I'm looking forward to doing 2 stringer mounts of these hogs.

sounds good, were did you go?

I think the safest answer to that is.... one of the impoundments of the Tittabawassee River.

Sounds like you really found the monster slabs, Great job ,for me the biggest was 14 " ever caught to date

With fish of a life time like that for around here you must have some pictures, love to see those slabs

Based on what I've been seeing in catches around here and the water temps. How deep were they?

I can't tell males from females until I look inside. They were(are) in 3-4 fow as long as the water is a little cloudy from wave action disturbing the clay banks. When it clears they move out to 8-10'. I only got 5 this morning, but the big one was almost 15".

I'm jealous , that had of been a blast catching them
