a 14" crappie??!! jeez, isn't that like catching a blue marlin on
pro-rata, equivalent tackle?



Now that's hilariousg. But is *is* fun on a 3 weight.

whew... i was afraid i might have been a bit too heavy on that one...but
you got my meaning. a 14" sunfish is a tugging machine... and unusually
big from my limited crappie, bream, bluegill experiences. oldtimers down
here call them speckled perch too (something i only recently learned),
and they are considered one of the best fish to invite to dinner. g
when the crappie are on the spawning beds, it's interesting to watch
folks in small boats after them...they'll have 8-10 rods with cork
bobbers, worms, crickets, minnows...and they will catch a limit. many
cook them on the bank...it's a good place to stumble upon, if you know
what i mean.
