Fantastic
All that Candi has talked about for the last 2-3 weeks was catching a TARP sized crappie on her vacation, and she started vacation yesterday, so I got her out at the crack of dawn(or before), and put her on a big fish hole.
However it looked like DK was going to do all the catching early as I had a big fish break 4 lb test fluorocarbon line and then had two keepers flip off before we could get the net under them. Then I caught 3 big crappie and started rubbing it in on Candi. Big mistake. Don’t poke a bear at rest.
She was trying 2-3 different colors trying to get a bite and I finally convinced her to get the color out of my box that the fish were wanting and told her the technique to provoke a bite.
Long story short, she then proceeded to catch a 14” tarp size black crappie and 2 crappie that we measured at 13.5”. She finally caught up with me at 4 keepers each and then it was back and forth until we were tied at 7 keepers each. I told her that the next keeper would give us a limit and would end the competition. I told her that I had one secret left and then I caught the tie breaker in an unusual fashion. Enjoy her pic with the fish and what she thought of the competition. I loved every minute of our 2 hour and 20 minute trip today. Lots of pics.

How do you repay your guide…a blackberry cobbler is currently in the oven!
I don’t think the tie breaker ended fairly! Dk said, I got one trick Up my sleeve I’ve never shown you an with that he caught that last slab in the shoulder! I’m not gonna argue with him! However I did catch the biggest fish!
Everything lined up perfectly today!
Thanks again DK, I’m sure since we didn’t get Mrs. Wanda a bass she won’t mind once she gets a bowl of cobbler!

Fun day on the water, congratulations to Candi on her success. The looks on your faces say it all about the cobbler.
