I have only had one time that I could have been close back in 73 I caught a crappie that was as big as a dinner plate and sure it was at least Virginia citation size if not a new record lost it right at the waters edge broke a 13 years olds heart.

Uh Huh. Only problem is if that was the case how did I get it up through the 8 inches of ice and seven to nine feet of water? :p
If I could only get the ice shanty out from my storage shed I could probably see these fish down there as the water is crystal clear right now. The ground got satuarated in front of the door of the storage shed and expanded when it froze, and since the door opens out, I can't get it open. I may work on it. On the other hand seeing a fish like this coming up to my bait could cause "Buck Fever" and I could set the hook too early.
