Dr Phil and I waited until it quit raining this morning to go fishing. We launched about 12:30. Ran to a bluff to fish. We had only been fishing about an hour or so, when what to my wondering eyes appeared....not a miniature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer, but a miniature rain cloud with multiple drops and they weren't sugar plums either. emoBigsmile I being the sage in the boat, had my rain gear, but alas, poor old Dr Phil didn't bring his rain gear, so he took a soaking. He didn't mind though. He caught his PB Black Crappie, a whopping 16.25 inches, and 2 lbs 5 ozs. He was wet and tickled.

We caught 16 keepers, 4 shorts, and 1 nice spotted bass. The shorts were put back, but all the rest went for a fish fry that the Doctor has coming up in about a week. We quit around 3 or so.

emoToast WOW...that fish would make Doc a nice conversation piece to wallhang in his office...especially since he has become such a dedicated crappie fisherman and already paid his dues for a crappie like that. emoFish emoAngler
