In trouble YET AGAIN !

[Ketchn]

I told myself I only needed 2 decent size crappie for dinner , I kept 3 a little on the large side ,we cooked them when I got home for dinner and we ate 1 , now I am in trouble YET AGAIN ! She said why did you keep 3 that big ?….and I said well honey I planned on only 2 …..she said so why did you keep 3 ? ….I said um …...I dunno
Silly me should have stayed with the plan , I should have left with the 2 fat 11 inch fish I yanked out right quick and pitched in the bucket . But NO , mister I got a plan starts culling and giving away the 11 and 12 inch fish and then gets the BRIGHT idea to keep 3 of the larger versions instead of 2 regulars and thank goodness I didn't get all really ding dong and keep all 17 and the magnum sand bass that about pulled me off the boat ramp dock
One thing for certain about this episode , when you have about 2 to 5 foot of line hanging off you rod tip in 3 to 6 foot of water and springtime agitated slab crappie hammers it so hard it about dislocates your wrist ….it a good thing if its a durable fiberglass 6 footer with a sweet smooth drag on a nice Shimano reel for sure …..
Now for sure I could have limited easily if I was in the mood and to be sure the guys on the dock were more than happy to have my "culls" , but in the end I was already in kind of the human greed mode and had to stop myself and say hey mister ……
JUST STOP IT , you are WAY out of control
the good news is I gave that bad boy jig to the one fella that was all interested in it and to be sure it was just MAGIC and a good number of fish to both of the other anglers along with some plastics ,so in the end I at least tried to compensate with an few acts of generosity to offset the greed in me wanting to keep to many and keep ripping them out of the water .
in the end and as always I stay in trouble but none the less …..
KABOOM is the word for ever and ever my friends
p.s. AND it could have happened that way you know

Good looking plate of food! I seem to stay in the dog house around here when it comes to Fishing also, but I remind her there are much worse things I could be out doing.

My trouble is not the going fishing, it's the buying stuff to work on my boat...Seems to me, no matter what she says, the misses wants me to fish from dry ground 'cause she had a bad boating experience years before we met...go figure...

Them be some gooduns bro, and they be hammerin that jig right now fho sho... But I'm still undecided whether its harder to stop ketchin or stop eatin...
They are plenty good cold as a kinda in between meal snack!

I'll admit to being a fat glutton, but I can and do easily eat 4 large crappie fillets all by myself. Give me some fried crappie (which is just an occasional treat for boat-less me) and I don't need any sides!

Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. KABOOM

[DockShootinJack]

I can do a good number of fillets myself
