Thread: Shawn Longan, Crappie fisherman extrodinaire

Got to lake before dawn, on the water at daylight, 3 of us in the boat. Fished until a little past noon. Shawn threw several dinks back during the day. The other two of us never got a single stinkin bite. We were using the same line, lures, depth, presentation, etc. After considerable discussion about throwing Shawn in the lake... we eventually decided to have a meaningful discussion about what he was doing different. We finally landed on the only difference. On January 1st, Shawn ate two bowls of black eyed peas. Neither I nor the other guy ate any. So there you have it, scientific evidence that eating black eyed peas on New Years day guarantees good luck! Oh the keys in the picture... well when leaning over to wash my hands which were fishy from putting Shawns catch in the live well, I hit the key and broke it... (further evidence of the power of black eyed peas) it took a filet knife, a swiss army knife, and needle nose pliers to finally get the boat started at the end of the day. Moral of the story, eat those dadgum black eye peas!

Enjoyed every minute of it. I'm sure I'll be one of the guys not catching sometime in the future. Thanks for letting me show u around the lake

That's fishing on the north end of Eufaula at its finest, hardest fish to pattern day to day in Oklahoma. EB
