I think they might have medicine for that!

Yep. It's called spring.  Then somehow the sickness changes from wanting to walk on water to wanting to float on it.

Ran into a massive school of crappie with one nice gill that thought he was a crappie. Fish were suspended 25 fow. School was so condensed we'd miss a bite on a hook set and snag another. Snagged ones were released and I kept a dozen for a meal gave a buddy the rest  bite was instant when we could find them.

All I can say is WOW. It would be great to be you. Keep on them. Nice bucketful. Looked like the majority is around 10-12 inches, congrats mighty fine.

It looks like you are getting some use out of those ice fishing rods.  Another nice mess.

I was out Monday afternoon and kept 14 nice ones....caught several 8" gills that I released. Just not feeling like cleaning many fish. 2 Perch went 12.5"

this weekends action! 3 perch this weekend went 12-13", the rest in the 9-11" range. 1 10" Gill and several 9's.

That big gill looks to be a redear x bluegill hybrid. Those things get large and fight like demons.

[Fishslayer81]

it is but the female top left was longer...she just barely hit the 10" mark on my golden rule.

[sprkplug]

There's longer, and then there's bigger.  Weight trumps length.

Ahhh Yaaa toads!

Back in the home waters today Jimmerson and James. Fish balling up over 30 fow but everything mixed together size wise. Threw everything back nothing huge 8s to 9s and tons of dinks but it was non stop action so it was fun regardless of size. Whitecaps and even some snow spitting down. Hands were definitely chilled.

We were out today too... couldn't believe when it snowed a little!  Did your side imaging help you find that school?  I don't think that I've ever found fish that stacked up.
