Rapp and I hit the Chick late this afternoon again. We started fishing about 3pm. A few nice fat crappie mixed in with the 1.2 billion gizzard shad. Today the guys fishing from the dock were the hot ones. Everyone was catching. Rapps first fish was a bull. He was fighting it and it was pulling like a 3 pound catfish. I laughed until I saw the fin. A big fatty crappie. About 13.5".
He did that too me few more times before I got to catch one. I did fill the throw net with gizzards a few times. So, by my count, I kicked his butt.
But the real story was not us. Saw a family out there. Mom, Dad and a cute kid.
And then it happened. Bubba with a Bubba.
Nice afternoon. Was a nice break from yelling at the kids.

WTG guys, those are some nice looking fish. How many did you catch? Also some real nice ringers you took pic's of. Glad to see you got into some.
Nice ones. I saw those two boats out there as I was leaving. For a second when I first saw the Tracker, I thought Bill was out there.

Never take the advice of someone who has not had your kind of trouble!
Cool pics of the eagle's. That's a beast of a ring perch Bubba caught.
Nice YP Bubba. Imagine loading the boat with that size? I fished a green carp tourney in Suffolk yesterday and was also treated to a couple of bald eagles. Great pics!
