Caught this guy out of Island Pit this evening. Probably 3-4 pound range and measured 18". Road runner with the ultralite. Caught 2 others and both measured 13-13.5".

Nice! I haven't had a chance lately, new job, 50+ hour weeks, odd shift... Might find some time this coming weekend if it's not too hot and miserable...

Nice crappie. Wish I could find some. Last couple times out not had much luck.

Well I wouldn't call today a successful day, but it certainly was an eventful day...

Me and my son went fishing at Mill Race here in Columbus, lots of people there, no one having much luck... No nibbles on the ultralight, maybe a small nibble or two on the Dinger worm, then we moved to the other side of the pond dam/docks...

After about 45 mins, I'd tossed my 5" green pumpkin/chart dinger out (3/0 hook, 1/8 bullet weight, texas rigged) and I swear I thought I got hung up on a snag at the bottom, then the "snag" almost took the rd out of my hands as it moved and I hadn't expected it at all. Drag was screamin, I was trying to bring whatever the heck it was in and keep an eye on the boy at the same time, after about 7-10 minutes I got it close enough to the dock to see some color, and it swam under the floating dock and snapped my 12 lb. test... Looked like the line might have gotten rubbed under the dock somewhere, metal brace or something...

I'm pretty sure it was a carp or buffalo, probably in the 20"+ range from the quick glimpse I got. It got away, but was the biggest fish I've hooked into yet and it was fun!

Yeah, that was my first "one that got away story" that was worth repeating... Lol.

And the kid cast his pole into the lake immediately after that. I fished it out, but since he hadn't started to reel yet to trip it, stripped all the line and was tangled enough I had to cut it anyway... Saved the pole, lost the line...

Went out on Sullivan yesterday and pulled in 9 crappie (all 8-9 inches) and 5 LM's (only 1 legal). Was out there for about 3.5 hours (evening).

we got on Lake Monroe for an hour this evening and didn't catch anything but the DNR checking for life jackets and fishin licenses.

That is a really nice crappie!

thanks!

fished out at the family farm pond on Saturday.

Caught 5, biggest being a 2.5 pounder of my very first cast. My 16yo caught 2, only his 2nd time bassin.
