Nice.
I believe those long rods really help get those big fish in without breaking the line.
Drove down to Chickasaw County in MS. this morning and met Donnie ( Crappielogic) to pull some crankbaits for crappie. Davis Lake is a small U.S. Forest Service lake about 200 acres. The air temp was 93 and the water temp was 87. It was hot and the shade from the 8 ft. Sportsbrella felt good. We were pulling Rebel Crappie Crank-R's about 7 ft. deep in 12 to 13 FOW. The fish finder was lit up the whole time we were in the water showing fish that were suspended and stacked. We saw a lot of batfish balls also. But today the fish were just not biteing. We fished the Rebel crankbaits and tried all the colors and varied our depth and also our speed. We caught one pretty nice crappie, two bluegill and three bass. One of the bass weighed in at just a little over 12 lbs. The big bass was caught on a pink and black Rebel Crappie Crank-R. It really cut up as Donnie brought it to the boat with a 10 ft B'nM pole and 10 lb. mono. Even though we did not fill a cooler full of crappie as we anticipated it was a fun day and great to be out on the water.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

look out now!!! This just may turn ol' Donnie into a green carp feeshrman. I can see it now.... greencarplogic crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and the almost forgotten nip-a-diddie, all personally hand made and painted by the former crappie fanatic himself.

That is one big bass! I too think the long poles help the line a lot since they have a lot of give.
Been using those Crappie Crank R's here in Michigan. Have lost 3 of the Firefly on Pike. Started using a 20# steel leader. Really good baits. How do you know your running 7' in 12-13'of water? I use counter reels, but still hard to tell the depth were running.. Thanks..
