Yep cool video! And yep somebody had some stank on their fingers.

Many seemed interested enough to "taste test" the jig, while many others approached the jig only to veer off after close inspection. It almost looked like the jig didn't "smell" right, or "look" right to those fish, and they rejected it without mouthing it.

It really would have been interesting to see their reaction differences, had a wax worm or minnow been placed on the jig .... vs .... the plain jig. Even a spray of scent or a Crappie Nibble might have changed their interest level

I agree. Most of the crappies that sucked it right in came at it from the side. The ones that followed its scent trail mostly turned away; a few noncommittally tasted it and spat it out. Had to be something wrong about its scent.

I read here and there that crappies are sight feeders, and scent doesn't matter. This video gives a strong suggestion otherwise, though I would have liked to have seen those same fish offered the same thing covered with a fish attractant.

By the way, what was on the hook? (What was being used to try to catch them?)

It kinda looked like a larvae of some sort, I thought I saw it wiggling a bit a few times.

I need to to know where that lake is!! Whole lot of tire kickers. Interesting to say the least.

Ive vet wanted to run a go pro in many places I fish, but the crappie fishing spots I have to carry my dive gear to get the camera back.
