Too many fish

It's been crazy for past couple days - I've been catching so many fish I don't have time for anything else (having too much fun to care what type of fish I catch)

That's the good news - the bad news is that most are so small I throw them back.

And worst news is a lot of them are the 'stupid yellow bass' that are useless IMHO - BUT they sure do fight - especially when you get a-hold of a big one (which is seldom) - for example yesterday I lost count but I landed over 50 yellow bass - and only 4 of them were about 1 lb or bigger. I was getting hits on every cast for almost 2 hours (from about 10:30AM to 12:15AM - when I got hungry and stopped fishing - was tired of catching the yellow bass)

The reason I kept fishing despite the yellow bass attack - was to find some crappie - which were hard to find yesterday (got a couple yesterday - then about 20 of them today - BUT only 3 were keepers i.e. the crappie around my brush pile are really small - but I keep hoping the big ones will show up - tomorrow :)

Fishing reports from nearby - are much better i.e. people are getting some slabs but I've not gone looking - I keep waiting for the slabs to come to my fishing pier (I know - foolish but hey I'm retired - I got time to wait :)

Got a couple catfish last night - also picked up several large mouth bass and a dozen or more keeper bream

I've been catching all these bass, bream , crappie on a jig and grub (which most people call a twist tail jig but it's really a grub (3 guesses what color - rhymes with 'char tre use'

The crappie usually move in about same time as yellow bass (which are following the shad of course) - so I was expecting more crappie today - and I was right - but as mentioned my brush pile is full of little ones - still waiting for the big ones to come on home with their baby brothers and sisters :)

I may have to start fishing from my boat to find the big ones (but knowing me - I'm more likely to wait to see if they find me and my brush pile ;)
