Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted October 2, 2012 Super User Posted October 2, 2012 Caught my PB Crappie today a nice 16" 2#2oz. Was after Northerns but this one hit a SK 1/2oz Red Eye Shad Chrome Blue. Was a nice fight even with a 7'Med Fast Smoke rod & 50E reel. To say the least I was thrilled. Here a few pics. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 2, 2012 Super User Posted October 2, 2012 Nice crappie! Congrats on the PB. Quote
Super User Marty Posted October 2, 2012 Super User Posted October 2, 2012 Very nice fish. Getting a personal best of anything is highly satisfying. Quote
Goose21 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Great fish. Up in Rockford I see, man I can really tell fall is in full swing by the background in those pictures. I'm curious, has that lake you're fishing tturned over yet? Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted October 3, 2012 Author Super User Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks guys Yes turnover has happened couple weeks ago. Quote
Goose21 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Quake, any idea how long it took the lake to settle down? I'm a few or more hours or south of you and currently dealing with the turnover on about a 250 acre lake. Thx Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted October 3, 2012 Super User Posted October 3, 2012 Mmmmmmm Crappie! Quote

Thx Week, week and a half, it got very pale murky green but now cleared-up some still not as clear as normal yet, see usually 12'-15' or so now 8'-10' its only a 26acre lake though. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted October 3, 2012 Super User Posted October 3, 2012 NICE! That's a big crappie for northern IL. Got my PB at Heideke when it was still a powerplant lake. 15" 1lb 14oz. If you don't mind me asking, what lake were you fishing? If you do mind, I understand completely. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted October 3, 2012 Super User Posted October 3, 2012 Great trophy crappie. Quote
