A Crappie Birthday

[FD.]

A couple of us went fishing today for my birthday. All we caught was about 80 spec, 15 bass, 2 brim, and a pickerel. Everything we back except the largest 70 spec. Not a bad birthday.

That's 15" adjustable wrench in the pic for size reference.

Very nice.  I would love some fresh crappie.  I wish there was crappie closer to where I live. :-/

Hey ID, I've met and fished with Lee. He's a very generous guy. Give him your address. I'm sure he'd mail you a box full of fillets.

NICE! what'd you catch that funny looking silver one on?

I bet that was a tasty meal  

The two times I've kept crappie, I went to fillet them 3 hours or more after I caught them and put them in the cooler, and they started flopping around, unbelievably. I almost soiled myself because I was sure they were totally dead. Is it just me or do those things stay alive forever?

Dead or alive, fillet them up! Your just giving them a slower death by letting them suffocate

Thanks guys.  I really was a lot of fun.

Haha yea Tony those little suckers do seem to stay alive forever. I usually stab them in the head before I fillet them bc I kinda feel bad cutting them up still alive. :-/
