Dad caught a few cats and a little crappie. CatfishSam caught a few bluegill. Dad just caught a nice cat to finish off the mess so we were going home soon. I was talking to booey on the phone saying we were going back when something took off with my line. I set the hook with one hand and told Booey I had to go I was using a live worm so I figured I had a little catfish. But after getting it up I noticed it was a HUGE Crappie! We have only caught little crappie out of our pond, so this was suprising! It ended up being 15 inches, biggest I have ever caught and biggest one we have seen caught out of our pond. Here's the pics!! The one and only, Catfishsam! The Crappie! The mess!

Nice catch Chase! I think that is a cross between a largemouth and a crappie. The mouth on that thing is huge. WOW!

We went fishing at the pond again this evening. The bite was a little slow, but we did manage a few. Booey with a decent gill. I caught another decent channel, sure was ugly, he only had one eye. Nice job of snapping the pic right when he took a crap Booey! I should of held up 3 fingers, he was fish of the year material! We got a special visit while fishing this evening, strippitman and his son stopped by for a visit! You guys are welcome back anytime! Maybe the fish will be biting better next time.

Thanks Troy for having us over! It was sure nice to fiinally get to meet you and Chase. Believe it or not, that fish was the highlight of Evan's weekend. Not because we didn't catch fish over the weekend but because it was his only crappie of the weekend. The day before I had caught a couple of decent crappie and he really wanted to catch one. Every time he would get a fish on he would say "I hope this one is a crappie". Well, his only crappie from the weekend came from your pond and I think that will end up being his most memorable event from the entire weekend. He couldn't wait to get back home and see it posted on the braggin' board. I can't thank you enough for allowing this memory to happen for him. On another note, we ended up fishing before heading home on Sunday morning. We were able to do pretty well and it kind of saved our weekend. I got to intorduce Evan to fishing with a bubble and fly. He out fished me ! I don't know what he was doing different than me. We were using the exact same rigs but he was catching them twice as fast as me. I wish I would've taken more pics! Here's one from the first day Here's our small mess from day 1 Here's one from our 3rd and final day fishing All in all, I had a fantastic time fishing with Evan! Weren't able to get into the big ones but caught some decent fish. Hated to see it come to end
