| Record Keeper | Fishmarket Bait and Tackle | Angler Story | On the night of March 29, 2010 the kids were almost in bed. After obtaining a kitchen pass from the boss (my wife), I took a dozen minnows and one pole rigged for crappie down to Wes Watkins just to see if they had finally come in. This was a last minute thought just to see if I could get anything to bite. The moon was full, and there was a slight south breeze. After fishing for almost 45 minutes with no luck, I moved to what would be the last spot of the night. I made a good cast around structure, and my lighted bobber went all the way under. The fish fought hard - diving, pulling, and even taking out a little drag. I was convinced that I had either hooked a small largemouth or a sandbass. I wrestled the fish into the bank. Much to my surprise, gleaming in the moonlight was one of the largest crappie I have ever laid eyes on! I guess it just reaffirms that you can't catch 'em at home... |
