Black Crappie 10 inches 1-27-04 Commerce Twp Michigan note in the picture that I am not in the picture so this picicture is disqualified from winning. since I am not elegable to win, I still will be playing for the chalange.

:sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses: notice the temp gauge we haven’t been out of the single digits in weeks.

Still waiting for my hook safe, and waiting to get on the lake. We got nailed with 20+ inches of snow last weekend. But the ice is pushing 36" thick.

here is a picture of a 15 foot 7 inch blue gill,:astonished:

Ok, Ok, so I am streaching it a just a little bit.[sly]

the biggest one of the lot is 8.25 inches.[angelic]

Chief,

That’s a balmy temp compared to W. Central MN, its been –34 to –30 to last two days. Thats not including the wind chill factor, with WC factor its -40 to -65.

[;)] I’ll let you beat us with low temps. like that anyday. In order to get on the ice you must always use a shanty. i spent a year in Alaska and we had wind chill there around -100 but that was againest the old method of conversion. Today that would relate to about -40 degs. The air would cystalize it amde it hard to see your hand in front of your face. Stay safe and keep warm.

[left]:sunglasses:[;)]Let’s get things started. This fish is just right to start the comp. this is a perch 12" long and a mouth watering delight. It was caught at Lake George northwest bay in the town of Bolton on 1/30/2004 at around 2PM. We caught mostly small perch but with a few nice one’s to keep up the interest.I forgot to name the state NEW YORK.

TWO OF THE THREE LAKES I TRIED OUT TODAY WERE UNSAFE , THE ICE WAS LIKE SWISS CHEESE [:(] . ON THE THIRD LAKE AS SOON AS I PUNCHED THRU I KNEW IT WASEN’T GOING TO BE MY DAY , WATER GUSHED OUT OF THE HOLE NONSTOP . IMAGINE , NEEDING HIPBOOTS TO GO ICE FISHING :angry:.

I’M HEADING OVER TO TAWAS TOMORROW , MAYBE THE BIG LAKES WILL BE A LITTLE MORE COOPERATIVE :sunglasses:.

fred trost said the steel head is dead over that way.

Fred is wrong :sunglasses:!

todays catch , 4 fish . i had to have a guy get one of them back from his huskey :angry: after he ran up and took it ! the sticker is covering the bite mark . i will e-mail you a better pic from the new camera , i’m having a software problem with a missing driver or file .

top fish , 26" steelhead (rainbow )

middle fish , 23" chinook salmon (dog bit )

bottom 2 fish not entered (no ruler along side those fish ) 8"golbie , 11" rainbow .

lake huron , tawas area , about 1 mile out from the docks between 9 am and 1 pm on a sweedish pimple tipped with a blue minnow . ice was about 2 feet thick .

after looking at all the fishing reports i could find i thought i’de be in walleye teritory , the golbie was first , so i kept him just in case . then came the chinook , thought that was a eye , then the big steelie , thought that was a eye too , thats when the dang dog came over and took my salmon ! after that came the little rainbow , my hands were done in from the cold water and called it a day .

well ya know how it goes, when they say thay aint biteten last week end they must be biteting this weekend and visa versa [;)](javascript: addTag(‘;)’))

I went out for a bit today, nothing to enter, but I wont have any problems serving dinner!

any one for fish and chips?

now that’s a plate fit for a king !

gills taste the best this time of year too ! the hard part is deciding to eat them hot outta the skillet or the next day fresh outta the fridge :sunglasses: .

Hey Dave, it looks like you are the gill king. I think you have enough there that you could try one recipe on each of them and then still have enough to make a batch of your favorite recipie.
