Not a great week but it was a lot of fun. We caught and release a bunch of 11 to 12 inchers. Minimum length is over 12. Here are a few pics.

A personal best for my brother in law Kirk. 2.89 lbs. 16.5 "

Nice. 12 inch minimum. Gotta love it. Just drove over to my local crappie lake and it was open. A week ago it was 3/4 frozen... gonna try to get out once or twice this week before the new hip next friday..

Very nice crappies! I pulled my boat up from winter storage under the deck and parked in the driveway. No batteries in or winter cover off yet but the lake is still iced over. I am hoping by next weekend to have some open water. Although I did eliminate some cabin fever by heading up to REI in Madison WI to look at some gear. Getting closer to hitting the water :)

Yes, i've got the boat out. new powerdrive trolling motor put on ,batteries charged , ice just went off a few days ago.played 1st round of golf last saturday. Now i've got to put the breaks on. I go in Friday to have a new hip put in. Hopefully i'll be turkey hunting and fishing within a couple weeks and golfing by May..

I wish you well and smooth healing yogi!

They looked a little different with that longer nape or back before the spines. Thanks,I never have seen a crappie over 2 pounds before.
