Nice cooler of fish. Y'all were getting after them
We took off early and headed west , 1.5 hours out we stopped , 3.5 hours later we went home . Seemed like a long day to H and me ,but we got some of the spring cleaning accomplished out at my friend's place .
Kept around a 125 skinny crappie to donate to folks in the big city and found enormous numbers of fish on the ends of our lines . Might have topped 300 or more assorted fish total , possibly more , but in the end who really counts a bite EVERY single cast right ?
Found some numbers of monster bluegill on beds at one stop, found a few shellcrackers here and there as well , found lots of bass and of course some kind of ridiculous numbers of crappie as well .
Pretty fun stuff for sure , but it could make old men a bit tired as well , we were looking a bit beat up by the time we headed home for sure and sat down several times as we casted to and fro later in this episode .
KABOOM went my 6 lb test a few times as it needs to be refreshed , old line and hot fish don't mix well as you can imagine , lost 3 really nice jigs on fish and will be respooling today.
More laughs than allowed on this episode and to be most positive we exceeded the limit in that area by about 27 miles ......
KABOOM for sure ....
p.s no particular color or jig or presentation was critical , a jig and rod and do as you please with it was the ticket

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass alongKetchn thanked you for this post
we did not discriminate this visit , all the white crappie hit the ice chest for the most part , a few got a pass if they were to much of a distance from the chest though, sort of lazy and the bite was just stupid good .....

Great story and what an incredible day. One of those you don’t want to end, no matter how tired you are! I would love to get into some of those dinner plate sized pans!

yep, but in some spots they never seem to grow large , it might be them there bigger fish eating them
river fish here run small and some lakes as well , never see a 8 to 10 inch sunfish in some of them , maybe genetics as well ....
native bluegill here are often pretty small even when mature ....

A super sized KABOOM for this day. Great cooler of fish and a great memory for time to come when you’re unable to go. Thanks for the ride along.
