Just got home and bleed her out. But before putting the knife to her I decided to weigh her on my scale. 3 lbs even, crap I wish I hadn't of bleed her our! Probably lost 2 ounce in blood. My scale has been tested several times and weighs a 3 lbs weight to the T. So she is going to the taxidermy!

That was worth my trip up there just to see that fish. Good job bill, that should keep you going for a while.    Was good just to get out of my chair for a few hours, and glad I got to see some of you again it has been way too long. Not quite sure just who all I saw (those new drugs they have me on are awesome ) but sorry I didn't at least get to say hi to everyone. Larry thanks for the support and offer of help, we got it back on the trailer ok and made it home with no problem. Hope tomorrow will be your day for the big one.

Nice catch Billy!  Tough day out there for all of us - at least for Joe & I. We gave up on Crappie around 4pm & started to fish for...........yep, green carp!

 With wacky rig & drop shot rods in hand we spent the remainder of the day casting to deep water around Grapevine point.  I even stunk it up using da fairy stick!

Good seeing everybody on da water, especially Tritoon!  Hope you get everything all fixed up soon.

Other than seeing Billy's Moby Crappie, my only highlight was chow from camp chef Joe - no dogs & burgers for him!

Nice fish Billy, that is a toad hopefully with the lake still down and probably going to drop more this spring things will pick up, weather looks great in the backround

I was hoping to feel good enough to get out this week and now we have flakey weather today through wednesday :wtf: so I guess I will just dream :dontknow:

It was a nice day but fishing was tough. I wish I'd have taken some pics of her back and belly. Huge shoulder and a massive belly, 2.75" thick. She is frozen now and awaiting a reply from my taxidermy. I cleaned the 2,5 and she had more eggs than I've ever seen.

I realize that a 3 isn't the biggest slab out there but they certainly don't get caught everyday. A Crappie that big is probably 5 years old and well past being a schooler. So catching is a "right time, right place" kind of thing. The last slab I caught over 3 was in Feb of 2007 about 100 yards from where I caught yesterday's monster. So I'm excited and feel very lucky, especially to have a buddy like Billy Hawk who put me on her.

Thanks for everthing Hawk!

Oh and needless to say, I have high hope for monster slabs at Rosey this spring. To have only caught 2 all day and for both to be lunkers, tells me there must be a lot of fish from the 07/ 08 spawns. Now that the lake is down, they are forced out of all the flooded trees and are feeding in open water.

Your welcome. But I think its the pole holder. That pole holder has caught the 2 biggest crappie I've ever seen, along with Larry's pike.

Most guys wanted $15 or $16 an inch, one guy wanted $20. I found a guy real close to my for $10! But I want to get it back and see how good it is before I post his name.
