I had rather eat red ear over all fish , including crappie . I love crappie fishing and they are a close second to red ear as table fare . Fished 80 % of my life from a 14 ft . Jon boat .(including the big four)I do chase the bass every once in a while . I wore out more 202 reels than most in Mississippi . lol We only fished when it was raining or to bad to work in the fields or dark . Might get in a trip when caught up or nothing broken down . Where I come from I fish from a Cadillac . lol I see idiots with all size pocket books that sell four wheelers to buy boats and flip at the beginning of hunting season . Ignorance has no boundaries so enjoy what the
Lord has given us and do not dwell on negative folks . They Probably would make lousy fishing partners anyways . I may be the only person on this site that had a 12 inch livescope and sold it as it was not my thing . Hope "I" always have the right to choose what "I" like . Be kind to all and fish on !
