Smitty's crappie observation

[Big Zig]

Smitty - that's a great photoshop job!! :D
Just kidding - congrats on an absolutely huge crappie! I don't believe PA will ever see one that big.

I have a question about the tail on it. Why is it, every large crappie seems to have fin damage on the tail? This is apparent on crappie caught with or without the use of a net, and I don't think smitty's was spawning yet.(?)
