Good grief, what an afternoon! I believe it might have been the most crappie taken per hour of any day I've ever fished. I don't count every fish, couldn't have if I tried today. But I'm pretty good at guesstimating the keeper-to-throwback ratio. I'd say today we caught a minimum of 5 or 6 fish for every keeper, and we had 27 keepers. David Travis and his son Josh had a blast, as did I. They came down from Murfreesboro to camp at Harrison Bay a few days. But as soon as camp was set up, we hit the water. Took a little while to find the fish, but once we did, I don't know how many times we'd have 3 or 4 rods go down at once... and several times we'd end up with all six rods reeled in with a fish flopping on each before we could cast one back out. It was the true definition of "fast & furious!" Sure, it's a little aggravating catching one short fish after another, but I'm not complaining. Caught a LOT more white crappie today than I've been seeing, probably 20% of our keepers were white crappie. I was pleased to run into Jmax. He had a good mess of fish and gave us a tip... he said the fish weren't hitting trolling today. Clued us in on where he caught a bunch. He's a good guy. emoSmile But I'm sorry Jmax... we caught 'em all trolling and never made it back to your spot. emoPoke But I appreciate the tip regardless. emoThumbsup
