A friend and I limited out today on crappie. We caught some really nice fish as well, 3 of which were over 14 in and 1 was 15 in. It was a really good day but, several times I was fit to be tied. People are getting less and less respectful or mindful of others space and I believe it's jealousy. We were long line trolling and were doing well when a boat trolling faster than us came around us and then pulled in front so close that I stopped my trolling motor to keep from running over his lines. Then later in the day we found a nice school of fish and anchored and were smoking them. We try to not make a scene and just slip the boats in but, the fish were big and full of fight. Wouldn't you know that a boat pulls up and starts casting right into the place we were fishing. As a matter of fact I casted and one of the other fellas casted and our lines crossed. Later when the school moved slightly from our marker bouy we folllowed it maybe 20 yards and another boat trolled right up between us and our bouy. THEN, (I'll shut up after this) the wind got up and we were going to fish a bank. There was a boat on it so we assumed that they were moving on and we moved in 75-100 yards behind them and my friend nailed a big one (which got off) and they saw us and turned around and came back and were so close that I could read the words on the mans hat. They started casting into the same brush pile we were on. I'm not one to bite my tounge (as some already know) and I let each person know that they were close enough but, no one seems to really care. They simply look at you like they are stupid or something. Anyways, I'm off my soap box now.

Here are todays keepers.




Here is a picture of my son (two trips ago) and his lunkers. He always catchs the lunker whether he does or not. LOL!!
