I've already got my crappie for the year, 13 3/4. Now I'm looking to get a bluegill before ice out. Bass is always easy. The 4th one's the kicker. I've had 6 Master Anglers from 2000 on. It helps when you can fish a private pond with a gimme crappie and bluegill (thanks, Dad!).

The walleye pin this year is very nice looking. Turned in a crappie from Berlin for it.
