Huge Montana Crappie
« on: Mar 07, 2008, 09:14 AM »
I am uploading these pictures for Dinga Ling's fishing trip last week where he caught a crappie just shy of the state record.  He wouldn't tell me exactly where he caught it other than to say it was north east of Great Falls.  Looks like he had a great trip.  That one is going on the wall!

That crappie is a hawg, and that is quite the multi-species haul there to boot.  Way to go.

Hey,

Thanks for all the support guys.  You are right.  That was the best weekend of ice fishing.  I caught my limit of pike 2 days in a row, perch and Crappy.  It seemed that there was something taking my bait no matter what I put down.  I was even catching pike on the red glo hook dropper below the swede pimple at night as well as day light.  Un fortunately, that was the last time out on the ice for the year.  There may be a few safe places left but this ol cowboy just don't want to take a chance on an icey bath.  It is now one week later and I am having ice withdral symptoms.  So much ice, so little time.  Well,  gotta go for now.  See ya at "My Fish finder.com"   Dinga ling    aka Worms @ MFF



Give a man a fish,  he eats for a day.
Teach a man to fish,  he sits all day on the ice drinking beer.
