If it had been you that caught the 3lb'r, I am sure that it still would have been the pretty lady to get her pic in the paper! Congrats to you and crappiedarlin for the nice slabs.

To steal a similar line from another thread .. not sure if I'm more impressed with your fishing knowledge, your secret jigs, the fish you caught or the company you keep. Actually, I'm going with the company you keep (smile).

Great fish!
