I didn't take any pics today, but will start taking some on next trip. It has been awhile (last winter) since I have been fishing. I can't get the big Crappie in the boat yet. I have been getting 12 and 13 inch Crappie in the boat, but the 14 and 15 incher keep pulling off at the boat. ( No Joke). I am going to have to get the feel back for landing them. With the bigger fish I went to a heavier tipped rod and they just pull so hard at the boat they tear off.
Hey EB, sorry you've been under the weather...Putting a couple of 15"-16" crappie in the boat will make you recover a lot faster...
Hope you feel better soon......
