Thankgiving day crappie (pics)

I posted this on the Arkansas forum. Got lots of attention from other states, so I thought I'd post on the main forum for everyone to see. A stringer like this don't come along every day.

Went to the lake this morning to fish a while before the feast. They started out good then slowed down when the sun got high. I had 4 good ones by 8 oclock. My buddy Steve had 3 keepers. We fished a while longer with no luck, Steve moved on looking for fish and I moved off in another direction. He called me about 11 to see what I was doing, which was nothing and he told me to come over where he was. When I got there he caught a good one and I got another good one at the same time. We fished til 11:30 and didn't catch any more. I had to leave to go to Thanksgiving with the family. Steve had some good ones to weigh, so I weighed them and took pictures. At least I get to hold some 3 lbers when I weigh his fish. I weighed his 6 best, with the largest 3lb 8oz., 3lb 4oz.,3lb 3oz., 2lb 15oz., 2lb 14oz. 2lb. 13oz. He had 4 smaller crappie that we didn't weigh. We put the best six on a stringer for a picture, it was a handful to hold up. I ended up with 5 fish with 4 over 2lbs. The 2 biggest were 2lb. 5oz., good fish, but dwarfed by Steves.


Steve with a stringer of 6 HOGS.



The 3 over 3 pounds.



My crappie for the day.



My two best at 2lb. 5oz.



It's supposed to be cloudy and rainy tomorrow, I will try for my 3 lber in the morning.

Thanksgiving day in short sleeves, gotta love that. Great job. What did you catch them with? Any details would be nice, such as how deep the water was.
