Actually caught three green sunfish about the same size in the 7-8" range. Don't catch many at this lake but they run larger than other lakes, usually just a pain in the A.

They are all nice but that big one is a giant. It would have tied the state record here in Missouri. Certainly worthy of putting it on a wall.

I don't have many pics from the good ol days but have a few that I want to share. Dates are shown on bottom. My dad with a slab caught the year after I was born and a couple of me from the 70's. ...

Awesome outing, those gills are studs. Getting one close to 11" is special, haven't caught a 10" here in several years.

Bluegills made me happy yesterday. About at 90% back now. Those antibiotics did their job.

First day out in almost two weeks. Started at my river spot and first time this year there caught 0. Headed for a couple close lakes for gills, first trip for them in a couple months. They didn't...

Haven't fished twice in a day for awhile. I do fish multiple lakes in a morning all the time. Nice crackers, haven't found many of those this year.

That redear is a slob. All those fish are good uns.

Nice mess of crappie in a short period of time. That lake is certainly worth several return trips.

Nothing lasts forever, head and hook still looks good. Maybe get another 100 with a little plastic or nibble. I love the little duck feather jigs. They catch everything.

I'm using Sharpie permanent neon markers for the blotchy bluegill patterns. I like my baits to stand out and get their attention. Going out and give it a shot today.

Chunky redear, love those mixed bags of sunfish and bass.

Great short trip. I bass fish regularly carrying two bass rods and one of my ultralights. Lot's of trips where only the ultralight caught fish.

Funny how those "Black Crappie" disappear after the spawn and don't show up again until next year. Same thing happens when I'm fishing for bluegill and talk to other people about their luck. The...

Great looking slabs, especially that really dark male. Really nice when they hammer the bait you had on from the start.

First ties in over 10 days, might be a record for me. Got sick for the first time in over 10 years with a cold that turned into a sinus and upper resperitory infection. Finally starting to feel...

I see this fairly often early in the year as water starts to warm in small lakes and ponds. Surface temps are a little warmer then. Those cruisers rarely eat my bait but if one does get hooked the...

Thanks for this awesome kit and plastic assortment. Going to be hard to decide what to try first. Crappie.com rocks !!!

Awesome outing, crazy colors on those gills.

Very nice fish, thanks for posting. I really miss those Cali gills.

Great trip. When you get on a roll and really start slinging them it's easy to forget to take pics.

He sure has that crappie dancing a jig. Very nice jigging motion there. I think you're going to have some "Kaboom" competition there real soon.

The rain sure couldn't wash the smile off his face. And it put a smile on me as well. I have two two year old grandsons that I can't wait to take fishing. Thinking as soon as dem bluegills move up on...

Grand children are the best, period.

Great looking mess of panfish. That's one big redear.

Congrats to both of you on a great, memorable slabtastic day.

Nice looking fish and bait. I use Sharpie permanent neon markers on plastics and hand ties to add some color.

That male gill in top section is sure sporting some incredible colors. I paint a lot of jigs in those colors trying to imitate bluegills and green sunfish. Bigger fish love to eat gills.
