I was and it was just a great day. You should have seen her when we were cleaning them. I think she liked that almost as much as catching them. She is definitely my kid.

Here are a couple of pics from the trip to the lake last weekend. The water is up and the fishing was a bit hit and miss. We ended up bringing home 17 crappie, the largest being about 11 3/4 inches long.

also showing a pic of Evan, my girlfriend's grandbaby who is a future fisherman.

Well, the season is winding down at the folks lake cabin in Warsaw, Mo. As you can see, fall has sprung and after more than a month of crappy fishing, I finally caught three keeper crappie today.

Oh yeah. Good catch. I bet they will taste even better.

Where is that catfish?

We let that monster catfish go, buddy. They are fun to catch but don't taste as good and are harder to clean than crappie or Bass.

I love fried catfish if they are channel cats. I do understand though. Any pics?

Nope, I will take some next weekend as Sharon always catches at least one blue cat. He was about 16-18 inches long.

well, i believe that this was our last weekend at the cabin"sniff"
I will miss going down there. as a proper tribute, we caught two fish this morning. Sharon caught this 13 1/2 inch bass and I caught a 11 inch crappie.

Funny story. We fish using minnows for bait. Sometimes they fly off of your hook as you cast. Sharon had made a cast and her minnow flew off. as she was reeling in her baitless hook in disgust, that fat bass latched on and hooked itself. That made her day.
