on fish, Nick a jack, crappie and a BIG surprise, 11/22/2012, Blake and Bailey two of my sons - FishNews - 11-29-2012 Well we put in around 6:30 am and started crappie fishing and it was on!! We were catching them in about every cast on tubes with about a six count. We caught several on chartreuse Foley spoons also. We quit at 11 am and had 45 slabs and 18 white bass. My boys had a blast.<br /> Now the good stuff, my two sons always compete with each other and I'm so proud for Blake, he started throwing a Xr50 in red craw and I heard this, "dad I think I need your help"!!! I turn around and see him fighting a large fish. I see about a foot of its back and think, wow what a catfish, as I start to the back of the boat the fish is acting up and I see its nose..... its a Musky!!!!!! So were scrambling to .get the net and finally land something I've never heard of seen in this area.....this thing is huge !!!!!! A 40"Musky!!!!!! Oh my fish, we are shouting, hi- diving and hugging and yes making plenty of photos. When we released this thing, Blake sat down and said "I'm done". Then he says man that's a memory right there!!! The best Thanksgiving you could ask for. I will get pics in a few to see!!!!
