Thanks, Todd. Just a cheap old rod and reel, but kinda neat looking. It may be time to clean them up a bit. I couldn’t get the reel off the rod for the picture, the release is bound up.
But remember when we saw our grandfathers or grandmothers using them? We thought they were awesome and could only hope that one day we would own such grand fishing equipment. 😊

I used to laugh at my Father-in-Law's fishing setups. He'd have super cheap rods and reels. tons of lead weights tied on in a haphazard fashion, gobs bait sitting right next to all that weight, it looked a complete and absolute mess... until he would out-fish me. 🤣
 
Newlights. I wonder where they got that from?
When we lived in the Ozarks, a lot of people called them Paper Mouth Bass, which makes sense even if they’re not in the bass family.
Call them what you want, crappie is the best tasting fish I’ve ever had!
There is no accounting for taste I guess . Crappies are O.K. , but I much prefer Walleye and IMO Shore Lunch Walleye is the best . But maybe you have never had Walleye .

Those will get the job done, Jon.:thumbsup:

These two for me today.
Your carry looked very familiar 🤣 I think we both woke up with similar thoughts.
What a great collection Jon, Yadi is an outstanding Cardinal. 😎👍
Thanks Todd. He’s a very close 2nd all time favorite for me
Warm temps today and tomorrow and then a few inches of snow expected on Friday. Figured I’d get some green in before the white comes. 🙄

I have to agree with you Old Engineer; I think Walleye taste the best too. But I’m still partial to Crappie fishing. They’re the easiest to fillet in my opinion, and I generally eat them two to three times a month from April to November. Lookin’ forward to the spawn!😃

I used to fish with a couple old guys that would pull their boat up on our shore and use cheese bait to catch catfish. Once they got their baits out they’d break out the beer and crackers and as a kid I was certain they were putting the catfish bait on their crackers even though they denied it! 🤣

Wood Wednesday with an international twist
Really nice workers Jon, those anchor shields on the Otters are really well done.
😎👍
