    I couldn’t resist telling this story. I took my wife ice fishing for the first time about 5 years back. She hadn’t ever caught a crappie. I took her to a lake that is known for its big crappies. Over the years I had released numbers of 14 and 15 inch crappie. Being the gentleman I am , I let her catch the first fish. My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw this 16 1/4″ 3lb crappie come through the hole. My wife asked why I was so excited. She didn’t realize how big this fish was until we caught numbers of 11″ crappies after that. Needless to say, I put it on the wall for my wife and she likes to brag about all the crappies I have caught and that I haven’t beat her yet.

    Nice looking mount too!

    So far, when my wife hooks into something that’s bigger than normal, I’ve been getting away with “nice fish but it’s too big to keep”. I think she’s starting to catch on though. She was talking about graphite replicas a while back.
    I’ll have to come up with something new….
