I needed a fishing partner so I talked my cousin into buying a license and some gear. Brought him to a local stream with some chicken livers to target catfish for his first outing. Water was low, slow, and not terribly.clear. Started at 6:30 and his first cast he hooks up with what seems like a monster. Get it in and find a good size crappy with a real big turtle attached to its tail! Pulled both up and the turtle is hissing at us! Turtle stuck around and stole a few.sunfish from us. Around 7:30 the catfish showed up, steady bites for an hour, but we lost a bunch. Final numbers 3 decent catfish, a couple sunnies, a crappy and a turtle. We didn't have any.lights with us, so things got cut short. No monsters, but I think it was enough to get my cousin hooked.

That's awesome...would have been cool to get a pic of that Crappie eatin turtle.

Good job getting your cousin out there and having a successful first trip. Nice report.

Yeah, I know we love pics on here. We both took pictures of the turtle, but we were so amped up that none of the pictures came out clear!

Blurry pictures are fine...check the last few pictures posted by Iceehot (AKA BassAssassin). His blurry possessed fox is famous. If it's one where it has that crappie in its mounth then put it up!
