<br />Nice morning to be on the water. Watched the sunrise and Geese V formations fly around.<br /> We put in at day break and fished until noon. The water temps avg. 78* to 81*. Fished with BGBS various colors with a chartreuse tail light.<br /> Mostly fished bluffs and deep water lay downs with 1/32 oz. jigs. We caught double keeper size Crappie twice. That is always fun!<br /> The keepers vs throwbacks ratio was good. 27 Crappie caught with 20 keepers. <br /> Around 11:00 in the full sun (getting hot) Archie gets hooked on what he thought was a catfish. Just a little tap but the fish pulled hard bending the rod double. <br /> Got the fish near the water surface and &#39;Good Golly Miss Molly&#39; it was a slabzilla Crappie. Measured it at 16-1/4&amp;quot;. Nice TARP.<br /> I guess I do not have to tell you who won the big fish bet.
