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.
