@summermaeoutdoors: Sometimes you gotta sweet talk ‘em in to it! I could literally see that crappie and he had half the jig in his mouth. Wouldv’e definitely been one of those ones that would’ve spit the hook at the boat if I wouldn’t have waited. Having a great week on the crappie, despite the weather……short of it being severe weather, I’m gonna fish 5 days a week through the spring - gotta get that freezer while the bite is strong!
