Made it out twice this past week on my vacation and went after some crappie. Took the boat down to Indian Lake.

First day we ended up with 7 or 8 keepers, here are two of the biggest, both right at 12 inches.

The 2nd day (Tuesday I believe), we found some wood along a shaded bank tucked back into a little cubby hole, and we did pretty decent.

Ended up with 14 or 15 over the 9 inch minimum, with this bad boy being the biggest. This pic is after being in the fridge for awhile, so I couldn't get him to lay flat, but this one was right at 14 inches.

Here is a pic of the entire mess, not a real good pic, but to give you an idea, the bottom crappie is right at the 9 inch minimum mark, I think we had 8 or 9 in that mess 11 inches or better. Had a blast to say the least!

Nice job! Crappies are one of my favorites, and it appears you like them pretty well too. This is one of the best times of year!
