Little windier and they ran smaller.

Managed to put 8 crappie and a decent yellow perch in the livewell but had to sort thru several smaller crappie to get the 8 keepers.  Also spent about an hour graphing fishing and vertical jigging a spoon but all's I could muster up about 20 spots biggest being 15 inches and shortest about 11.  Fun watching the jig on the Lowrance Hook5 and then then just blow up with fish all around it.

Crappie caught on soft plastic crappie jigs and minnows off brush pile in 16 to 20 fow .  Yellow perch and spots were all caught in 20 to 25 fow jigging a white and purple spoon about 5 ft off the bottom.  Water temps were 51 to 53.

This is a pretty typical size. In graduate school as part of our lake research we were able to fish a private lake that does not allow fishing. We were catching perch up to 17" in length (I have actual photos, but not digital photos :)). They fought like smallmouth bass. It was awesome, but I got to weigh, measure, and pump the gut contents of each fish that we caught as part of our research. My betterhalf got a lot more enjoyment catching these fish than I did since as soon as I was done processing one fish she had another for me :(.

That was just your payback to me for making me stand on a frozen lake with a large heavy metal bar, telling me how we might die!

Stayed in the dorm at an all girls school???

Of course you did ;)

For a whole semester while I took classes there. It was a challenge. The dorm was split into separate halls radiating from a central common area. Many of the women were synched based upon the hall she lived if you know what I mean. Was like walking on egg shells most of the time. Definitely not the living conditions like you would see in those frat boy movies.
