Nice mess of fish, thanks for sharing.
It's been a bit of a dry spell for my oldest and I. While we've been out a number of times I didn't want to venture too far after just rebuilding the motor. Last 5 trips we have been hitting the pilings near quantico and the cats have been aggressive with not a crappie to be found. Today the cats were living up to their reputation and we landed well over a dozen. Just as were calling it a day I hooked into a nice 12+ crappie. It dawned on me that he hit shortly after the bait (minnows) hit the water. Quickly reset the depth on the slip bobber to 4ft and landed 7 - 12+ inchers in about 15 minutes. The largest was 14 1/2". As quickly as the bite started it ended and we called it a day with sun setting
Here's a few pics.
