    Nice fish Harold!
    Take your trash out with you. Respect the resources. Take a kid fishing. Have patience at the boat ramp.

    I was just about to post a thread about not seeing any crappie pics lately. And then you come through! Finally someone caught and took pictures of some fish.

    Would have put pic's up long time ago, but couldn't really get them from my desktop
    to CDC. Finally had Adjust555 come by today and give lessons 101 on how to post.
    Somehow got three on there, will continue to put more on if possible, if my meds hold
    out and continue my AMC classes (anger management classes)

    Nice fish. If someone didn't know any better, because of the color they would think they were caught in three differant places. Great report.

    Direction of sunlight on male that Earl is holding really made fish look almost black
    which he was.

    I very rarely filet fish right after being caught, usually 12 - 14 hrs later after being
    packed in ice............possible this may have them looking a little lighter...but all
    were caught in same lake but were caught in 5 different areas, with veg. and lake
    floor different compositions. Most were males, but really heathly and large in
    comparison to Kissimmee or Roselie males.
