Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

Ok so it's not a bass but it is the biggest crappie I have every caught.  It was 15"  didn't weigh it but we did bump it.  I wasn't sure where to post it so I put it here. :D

Holy Crappie!!!! That's a nice one!

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

My biggest crappie came on a 5 inch stick bait a couple years ago...

She actually does hace a picture of it on the bump board.
Wendy sent me a couple of pics the other day.

Yep I do have pictures on the bump board.  No yummy either she went back in the lake!  We don't have to many breeders that size in our lake we don't keep them that big they always go back.  I know there are others who keep them and that's ok but someone has to watch out for our breeders. 

Josh I caught it on a little pinky jig.  We were site fishing actully,  however I never saw where this one came from,  I was also using and ultra light rod,  it was a blast.

We caught some more the other night too but only 13 inches was the biggest one.  They are still fun to catch.  The bass weren't biting they seemed to be a little pre occupied.  Living up north we were actually kind of surprised to see some fish locked on beds but they were there.  We didn't even mess with them.
