Still SLOW >>>>

[Ketchn]

32 crappie 4 bluegill and a lil catfish in 1.25 hours is still slow , but hey it is still fun trying to figure out why it isn't 50 to 75 right
i think i was under them for the first good lil bit and found them up high in the water column using my i am blind technique .
using just a jig and no electronics makes for a an interesting venue , it is quite easy to convince yourself after looking at countless fish on a livescope just sitting deep on brush and on other cover and not biting that this is the scenario ....
so jig i did like i meant it and ketch a few i did as well , changed colors one time to see if it might make a big difference and to be honest not really .
chatted with a boat owner at the slips for a good while and while we chatted i got a real nice thump ...set the hook and the battle was on .....he looked surprised and it surprised me as well ....
i went into auto mode as it pulled drag and fought and said i am not sure what it is , but it isnt a crappie ....
finally up top it came and sure enough it was a stupid big crappie that came off right when i tried to sling it
watched the wildlife do its thing a bit as well and mister sneaky trying to steal a fish and then back off to work i went ....
best bite was about 2 to 3 foot down in 9 to 10 foot of water ,lake is falling and went down about a foot since the day before ,clarity was pretty good ,average fish was under 10 inches ,maybe 10 or so were keeper size and up ...almost zero hard bites in the mix except the whale of the day that got away
KABOOM is the word

[DockShootinJack]

If that is slow I would gladly take it

Kaboom.
I've come to appreciate the ones that get away. Especially the ones that did it on purpose. Tip my hat and thankem for the thrill.
Great report.

Whew, a few of those guys took it pretty deep. Hope Everybody not destined for a dinner made it back ok.

when a bigun gets away after letting me see them I always claim it was my special quick release so they arn't harmed story. I was gonna release her anyway, always impresses those that don't know any better!

in my case i said exactly half a real bad word before i halted the slip ....
the guy standing there sort of smiled and i said sorry sir ....almost said it
told him i just really wanted to hold that particular fish for a few

Love it. If I ever almost catch any big one I can always use that. I have to figure out a way to explain a nice smallie leaping up and giving me an airmail return delivery.....

Slow is me trying to get up a 10/12 pitch roof. Good job buddy!

I really enjoy the fish as fast as you can drop it venue , one every 3 minutes or so on average is not terrible , just a bit slow
there are days when it has been one and done , but that aint slow , that has another phrase/word used to describe it
cant put it into family friendly words though
