Went out with Charlie Hildreth and his dad looking for a little action. Went up the north fork as far as Pine Grove. water was stained to slightly muddy about 62 degrees water and air temp. spider rigged with jigs and minnows in 5 feet of water and caught a lot of small fish, had a lot of doubles on a two hook rig. Then I thought I had a snag and it turned out to be this one. It's 2 lbs 4.5oz. and it's the biggest fish I've EVER caught.

Wow, thanks for sharing that pic, WF. When those logs start moving without your help, sure perks you up don't it. Been seeing some really nices ones the last week or so coming out of there. I'd like to see someone post a whole stringer like that. Did you get crappie elbow too from all those pesky little ones?

Crappie elbow, no not really, but sure was tired at the end of the day. Came home with enough for a meal for me and the boss. Cleaned 5 nice ones, avg. about a pound and a quarter, plus the big one and one nice cat.

Nice crappie there Wanabe never have fished Monroe for crappie just bass. Looks like the lake may produce some big fish. Congrats on that nice one.

Did you eat that fish, or is it going on the wall??? Some guys on here have been catching some really good fish at Monroe.

I wanted to put it on the wall, but my banker said it cost to much so there's a pic on the wall and a fillet or two in the freezer. I guess it might be the best of both worlds. LOL
