My First Crappie

(I caught today. )

Well this morning. Almost morning. Yes. It is my first crappie I caught today, I figured out it is the eleven hundredth and thirtieth second crappie, since, well, I started counting outloud, while I fished, again...this year.

The first crappie (of the day) is as exciting as the first crappie caught by me. On a clear day. With little to no wind, blowing out of anywhere except the east, and finding his home at the end of my line.

Beauty in the fish on the clear spring day.
