I’ve got a Dilemma on my hands

Sooooo….. What would you do!! As I left the house today in a blaze I grabbed my Custom Jigs containers, and accidentally grabbed my Crappie box. As I sat in the house I looked at my Diamond jigs, Gil Pills, Shrimpos, and Ratsos, and couldn’t help but remember the great slab run we experienced last year. Towards the end of February typically has me movin and groovin for slabs. This also takes me off the big walleyes. OOhhhhhhh what a Dilemma!! SLabs vs. Big Walleyes Do you feel my pain We’re looking to break last years 15 1/8 mark on slabs!!

Man I tell ya …. I really wish I had your problems .

Great job and yes I feel your pain “pain of envy” that is .

Nice slabs!
Wouldn’t be a dilemma for me…I know what I’d be chasing….Crappies has big as my Johnson

nice pic Bosman

Hey Bos,

I’m not even going to comment on as big as my johnson!! LOL!!

Boy as I look at that Crappie it has been a long long long time since I’ve caught a white Crappie!! Funny how different they are. The Black Crappies up here get big and round with thick backs as they age. Unbelievable how big a true 2lb slab is. Yeah I hear ya buddy chasing slabs is on the agenda!! I’m really looking for a true 16. Course I have been for quite awhile!!

U and your problems
Glad to hear/see Ol Mooneye in to consecutive threads.
Hail Mooneye.

That is damn funny right there.

Heat wave coming Daze, should get to minus 20 up there this weekend! Nice catch as always, you said it well in a previous post, God’s Country. Just not sure if I would survive a few more miles north, as posted already, the Croix is calling me big time, and she’s not taking boats right now (except for Everts, but I’m not de-winterizing yet). Going nuts here on the mid south end of the state, missing VNP in the spring/summer/fall.

As nice looking as those fish are, I think the background even looks better. Man you live in a gorgeous part of the state Nice fish, again

I wish that I had the same dilemma! Great pictures guys!

You’d be alright buddy!! Just a couple extra pulls off the Peppermint schapps after Hot Chocolate swigs!! Cures what ails ya!!

The Weather Channel is doing a special with the Daze Camp to try to uncover what kind of crazy people inhabit this area ALL YEAR!! Hey someone has to do it!! WE LOVE IT!! Trust me noone likes 30 below though buddy!!! But… I know each year I WILL be able to run my snowmobiles, We WILL have a white Christmas, Kids WILL sing traditional Christmas songs during their Christmas program, and it is still OK to eat walleye, grouse, venision…. We’re old school buddy!! The thing I really really appreciate is that more and more people like yourself don’t take areas like VNP for granted. More and more people are self policing people on the water. This is Gods country up here!! I see T-Wolves from my living room winter over looking the lake. I jump Moose with my little Brittany spaniel hunting grouse. Deer are camped in my backyard due to heavy snow. Grouse are at the bird feeder. Bald Eagles and Loons will return home in our bay with the transition in seasons. Tourists will flock back the mighty Rainy Lake and Snowbirds will re-open their respective cabins for another summer at the cabin. People like the Queen and I along with their friends inhabit the area when people vacate. Our Mayor is great friends with us, and is awesome!! She, the “Queen” and another of our friends took a pic a couple years back in there BIKINIS in 38 below weather outside!! Thats FUN STUFF RIGHT THERE!! Truth be told if everyone decides that they should be here 4 seasons I’ll probably move farther north!! And I’m not that fond of Maple syrup!! LOL!!

Wow !!!

I don’t believe the bikini story Chris….i’d have to see some proof!!

It truely is amazing up there and i’ve only been there once so far..I’d much rather be a resident then a visitor…you guys are my style of people. I will be living the dream as soon as i win the lottery lol.

All right I’ll have to get clearance from the Fishing Queen to post it. That made the national news. CNN and the Weather Channel. If it is a go to post I’ll create a new thread. It is worthy (Brave Girls).
