Reply With QuoteWent out Thursday for a couple hours to see if I could get any fish to bite pushing the long poles. The area I decided to fish has held some big ones in the past during the pre-spawn. It ended up being a pretty special day not because of numbers only caught 10 total but one special fish. I checked a brushpile in 15 fow and saw several crappie around it. When I turned the boat to get the poles over the pile I saw a single log with a few fish on it and stopped the boat over it. Ended up catching 5 fish over 2 plus pounds and a big black male. The biggest male I have ever caught prior to this one weighed 1 1/2 lbs. When this fish hit, he pulled the pole down 3 eyes deep and fought like a big sandbass staying down and slipping drag. When I got him up to say I was shocked would be an understatement. He ended up being a little over 16 inches and weighed 2 lbs 10 oz. I was pushing 3 inch shiners on a double rig with 3/4 ounce weight. Won't forget this day for awhile. Probably a once in a lifetime fish.
