Pops Took A Road Trip

He's not in Missouri but drove through the state to get there! A bass fishin' buddy of ours convinced my dad that while fishing Toledo Bend for bass, they would catch big crappie on spinner baits and crank baits and that's all it took. He's been down there for a day and a half and while he hasn't had to venture more than a mile or so away from the cabin, he's figuring them out quick.





As you can see, they are some toads. Biggest was just over 2 lbs and lots of 1 3/4. Terrible cell phone service but last I talked to him he's headed up a river to find some BIG (3#) white crappie.

Unfortunately I just got back from a 2 week stint in Asia otherwise, I'd be there!

Enjoy,

U

Yeah..........he's not having fun at all. Day #2 - went exploring up a no name creek and landed on em! Got one text from him all day and it was with these pictures titled, "BFE".





Doesn't look like he's having any fun at all, does he.......



Different day/fish, same measuring stick!




Last day (Friday) for pops in Texas....... dude had a hell of a trip and as expected, he's gone ahead and booked a cabin for the same week next year with expectations that I (and anyone else) will be there!

Different measuring stick (guessing the red ones were all empty and discarded)!



Meat!



He took a breather on Saturday but we are already talking about a long weekend chasing the walleye/crappie up here in late April. I was supposed to be on Lake Michigan this past weekend chasing browns and coho however, 8-10 foot seas put the kaibash to that!
