I gotta run out to do some yard work befor the rain and snow sets in tonight to I will get back to this a little later today.
just an fyi, Crappie are a much saught after species, I hope to get me a few in the next couple weeks.
Another name for Crappie is calico bass and there is another nick name that suits them well, "Paper Mouth"
The reason why they are called that by some of the old timers is, the have a mouth that is as thin as paper.
I like mine to be at least 9 inches long, tho I prefer 10 but will take them smaller if I have seen that I have mortaly wonded them.
They get up to about 17 inches and 3 pounds. and the big ones put a good fight.
as I said, I gotta get out before I loose my daylight, back in a couple hours
