Good one.
I only got into Crappie fishin a couple months ago and my previous personal best was several 9 inchers. Now its 15 inches, 1.5 pounds.
I went out with a couple of my friends to a 5 acre pond that has crappie in it.
We caught a few bass, but no Crappie. We then went to a pond that was well under an acre. I was using a 4 inch swimbait and hooked up. I didn't realize it was a crappie till I landed it cause it looked and fought like a Bass, plus it was a 4 inch bait. My non Crappie fisherman friends were going crazy, so was I. I told them Someone probably put him in there cause they would have over taken the pond and stunted.
Probably the MacDaddy of that small pond. And don't be fooled by the size of the bait ... just look at the size of that mouth & realize anything that will comfortably fit in there is likely considered "food" by the fish. The long slender swimbait would be considered a much easier 'swallow' than a 4" Bluegill.
Good fish, young man ... now, go out there and break your PB record.
