to ya free bird, and I harken back to my youth.........crappie have paper mouths, and you just can't
jerk too hard, or you'll rip their little lips off. Did it too many times cause I got a bad habit of thinking everything
was a bass or catfish. Crappie just require special treatment cause they taste better than any other fishie
out there. Just one opinion, mind ya! Tight lines to ya and retirement is the time to get serious 'bout crappie
fishin'.
