On hunt's thread "So I guess its on" I mentioned catching some crappie to use for bait. Me a buddy was invited to the grand opening of a local paylake that has been closed now for about 5 years.
The Plan: Use the crappie to lure some big blues into biting.
Result: Nothing was hitting live bait.
Backup plan: Hope the blues were biting on winter kill, and other dead fish.
Result: Thaw some frozen trout out, lop off a very large portion of the fish, and it was ON!
This was the first fish. A hard fighting, hard biting, 37lb. 11oz. blue cat.
And the second.......
Another nice blue cat. This one a bit smaller. Weighing in at 25lbs. 8oz.
If the rest of the season runs this well, Ill be a very happy catman come fall...!
Peace,
Bill
