Ok guys bare with this story, I need some advice. This is what happened.
Last weekend I went crappie fishing with my brother in-law and father in-law to a lake here in ohio called ceasers creek. About an hour into the fishing trip I had to take off and go to work. That evening I got home and noticed my wife acting real strange. About an hour later I got a call from my brother n-law and he stated to me, "your going to kill me, when we got to your place to fillet the 3crappie christopher (my 7yr old son) drove us crazzy about letting the crappie go into your lake. We finally told him if your daddy or mommy say its ok then will let them go. Christopher then took off around the house to mommy and gave her a big hug and told her he loved her. He then came back around the house and told us mommy said it was ok to release them into the lake. So we did. A couple of minutes went buy and your wife came down do the lake and asked us what we were doing. We told her christopher said you told him we could let 3 crappie go in the lake." Needless to say my wife knew there was going to be hell to pay when I got home. The three fish were 8"to10" in length and all had black spots.
Cecil or anyone please help, I need some advice. What should I do other than ban my in-laws from my place? Also any recommendations on punishment for my son. HA!HA! I have to laugh to keep from crying. Before I leave, my lake is about 1/12 yrs old 3acr in size. I had a local hatchery stock my lake with channel cats, bass, bluegill and fathead minnows. Thanks.....
