Beav has got the pictures, so I will start with the story. We got started at Walnut Creek around 1:30pm. The wind wasn't too bad, but that quickly changed after an hour or two. Beav tied the boat up around 3 or 4 spots with submerged trees, and we trolled one area. We caught somewhere around 15 bass, but none of them met the 21" requirement. The biggest one caught was an 18.5". Poor EB was hooking into a good fight for a crappie, only to be disappointed with a bass. He finally nabbed a 13.5" white crappie on our last brush pile. I can understand why he thought he had another bass.
Most of what EB did was using the slip bobber and jigging. I was mostly jigging with either a plastic or a minnow. That wind was up around 25 - 30 mph. I made a joke that I was starting to get a little sea sick, haha. Either way we caught fish, along with the bass we caught 3 bluegill and I think 7 crappie, but we only kept the one.
Now for the apology, I found out later that evening that there is no restriction on crappie size at Walnut Creek, that the sign I saw is more than likely an old sign that was never taken down. So we actually could have kept some of those 9" crappie Beav.
