Fished with a good buddy today, and iced a limit of HUGE Crappies. Biggest fish went between 15 and 16 inches! Averaged around 14 inches.

January 31, 2010 at 1:15 am #838054Unbelievable!
January 31, 2010 at 1:16 am #838055Thanks Guys. They are special fish. They actually were a bit finicky to start, but my buddy hammered out a few holes in a slightly different area where we located some more aggressive fish. I’m not going to lie to ya………I didn’t work it too hard. Personally I’d trade 100 medium sized fish for 4-5 fish of trophy caliber. Honestly these are great fish, but certainly not the biggest that swim some of these haunts. I would not be suprised if we ice a true 18 inch crappie this winter……….AND I don’t mean a 16 inch crappie stretched to 18! I mean a 3lb plus 18 inch fish LEGIT!!
Last year I topped out at 16.5 2lbs 9oz, and that is going down this year!!

January 31, 2010 at 4:22 am #838102Wow !!!
January 31, 2010 at 5:13 am #838111Nice fish,Chris!!! I’m going to have to drop everything and make a trip up there one of these days!!! That kind of fish would be worth the drive!!
January 31, 2010 at 3:25 pm #838146Very nice slabs Chris
January 31, 2010 at 4:31 pm #838164Next year I’ll skip LOW and come to Rainy!!
January 31, 2010 at 4:33 pm #838166Thanks everyone!! Make no doubt about it I’m also taken back when landing these big “Donks”. I’d say the spring slip bobber on spawning beds is still likely my favorite “Super Donk” bite utilizing Flu-Flu’s under small floats. Mid to end of May til the first part of June normally. Also get into another great bite in September.
Guys were catching slabs on Rainy most of the summer, but I don’t target them unless there grouped up.

LOTW is also a heck of a fishery. I fish it some, and have did very well. The nice thing about being an independant guide is I fish where the fish are biting, and most of that time it is out my front door. My ice schedule is about 2/3 full for next December/January so far. Better gather the troops!!
January 31, 2010 at 6:17 pm #838196Wow!!!
Very nice fish guys.
