Well some of you may know I broke my left arm in Oct. I accidently had the 5th wheel come undone and land on my hand on the tailgate. I was stuck, bleeding and in pain. Luckily my nephew John was able to get the camper off me. After a trip to the ER I was sutured and put in a brace and sling. My ulna was broke near the wrist joint. After 2 casts and all this time, it has still never healed and is in a bad place to try surgery. Fortunately it is stable so my ortho doc said give it a try. Since it is the hand I cast with I practiced for a few days in the yard and found I could manage some.
Went to Toledo Bend and fished with my brother wed. and thur. afternoon for 2.5 hrs each day. Did not want to over due it and had a little pain. But what a fun time for us. Wed. we kept 13 crappie and one bass. Thur, we kept 17 crappie. 31 fish for 5 hrs total. I have never had a mess with a bigger overall size in my 67 years. We caught no throw backs. Only a couple were under 12 inches and a couple hit 14 inches. Only 3 females. My scale batteries were dead so we did not weigh them. The pics were terrible as my brother was the photographer. He did a good job of picturing the ground and sky. haha. Anyway the first icebox shot was the first day and the second was all of them except for a few we had started cleaning. I felt like I had a Mississippi mess with so many over 12 inches. "G" would have been proud. Also, I did wear my Team Overalls for the days we fished. Also, one more thing, they were shallow and scattered in a grass bed. All caught on BG jigs. No shiners harmed.
